The Oscars 2021 happened at two locations in LA – Union Station and Dolby Theatre. Celebrities joined in from two locations in Los Angeles as they got together to celebrate and honour the brightest stars of the year gone by.

This was followed by The Father, Judas and the Black Messiah, Minari, Nomadland, Sound of Metal, and The Trial of the Chicago 7 with six nominations each.
