The 93rd Academy Awards ceremony came after nearly a year in which the world underwent exceptional measures to confront the Corona pandemic, which cast a shadow over the ceremony announcing this year's Academy Awards winners.
The presenter of the ceremony, American actress Regina King, explained to the audience at home the strictness of the precautionary measures, saying, "Think of this as a movie, a movie of 200 Oscar nominees, we follow all the strict protocols that bring us back to work safely. They have been vaccinated, tested, retested, and ensured their social dimension." "Like shooting movies, the stars will appear without masks when we start filming," she explained.
This year’s annual Academy Awards ceremony was held in two theaters;
The first was at Union Station in downtown Los Angeles and at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, where candidates and presenters walked the outdoor red carpet and participated in social interviews while adhering to social distancing.
Minneapolis events are strongly present
The events that stormed the United States of America during the past year were not absent from the atmosphere of the Oscars ceremony, on Sunday evening;
During her presentation, King referred to the conviction of the former Minneapolis police officer accused of killing George Floyd, describing Derek Chauvin, the officer convicted on all counts, as "disgraceful."
"I have to be honest; if things had gone differently last week in Minneapolis, I might have been wearing footwear instead of my heeled," King began.
She also addressed those who assume Hollywood should just stick with entertainment, “As a mother of a black son, I know the fear many live in. No amount of fame or fortune can change that. Okay! But tonight we're here to celebrate.”
