Hollywood’s biggest academy award ceremony, the Oscars held on Sunday 26th 2021 and it was filled with amazing surprises.
This year brought surprising wins, including the first woman of color to win best director and the first Black women to win best makeup and hairstyling.
Unlike other awards shows during the COVID-19 pandemic, the 93rd Oscars ceremony was held in person, and televised live on ABC from the Dolby Theatre and Union Station in Los Angeles.
All nominees and guests had to have a minimum of two COVID-19 PCR tests performed by the Academy’s vendor and a total of three tests in the week leading up to the telecast.
