The Oscars ceremony in April will be an intimate, in-person gathering, held without Zoom and limited to nominees, presenters and their guests, the producers said on Thursday.Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the show to hand out the highest honors in the movie industry will be held both at the Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles and the traditional home of the Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.Everyone will be tested, and there will be a COVID-19 safety team on site throughout the evening on April 25.\u201cThere will not be an option to Zoom in for the show,\u201d producers Steven Soderbergh, Jesse Collins and Stacey Sher said in a note to the more than 200 nominees this year.\u201cWe are going to great lengths to provide a safe and ENJOYABLE evening for all of you in person, as well as for all the millions of film fans around the world, and we feel the virtual thing will diminish those efforts,\u201d the producers added.They said nominees and their guests would gather at a courtyard in the Union rail station, while other show elements would be held live inside the Dolby Theatre some 8 miles (12.9 km) away.Normally, hundreds of the world\u2019s top movie stars would gather in the 3,400-seat theatre for a live show preceded by a red carpet packed with photographers and camera crews.Other awards shows in recent months have replaced the usual gatherings at gala dinners and on stage with pre-recorded appearances or virtual events or a combination.Television audiences have slumped, with the Golden Globes and the Grammys attracting the smallest numbers in decades.Nominations for the Oscars were announced on Monday, with 1930s Hollywood drama \u201cMank\u201d leading the field with 10, followed by \u201cThe Father,\u201d Black Panther story \u201cJudas and the Black Messiah,\u201d Korean-language drama \u201cMinari,\u201d \u201cNomadland,\u201d #MeToo revenge tale \u201cPromising Young Woman,\u201d Amazon Studio deaf drama \u201cSound of Metal,\u201d and 1960s Vietnam War courtroom drama \u201cThe Trial of the Chicago 7.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOS ANGELES (Nationaltimesnews) &#8211;
