The Oscars 2021 are set to air from ‘multiple locations’ for the first time as the ceremony adapts to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, where the ceremony is usually held, will feature, but the other locations are being kept under wraps for now.

‘In this unique year that has asked so much of so many, the Academy is determined to present an Oscars like none other, while prioritizing the public health and safety of all those who will participate,’ a spokesperson for the Academy said in a statement.

‘To create the in-person show our global audience wants to see, while adapting to the requirements of the pandemic, the ceremony will broadcast live from multiple locations, including the landmark Dolby Theatre. We look forward to sharing more details soon.’

The announcement comes after the Golden Globes made a fairly similar move, with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler set to host from opposite coasts.

It’s the first time the awards ceremony, which is being held on April 25, will be broadcast from different locations, with the event having taken place at the Dolby Theatre since its opening in 2001.
