Oscars: Academy Forgoes Presenters for "Ensemble Cast" of 15 All-Stars
For this year's Oscars ceremony, show producers Jesse Collins, Stacey Sher and Steven Soderbergh have made the decision to treat the ceremony not as an awards ceremony, opting to instead to treat the production of this year's Oscars as a movie itself.
“In keeping with our awards-show-as-a-movie approach, we’ve assembled a truly stellar cast of stars,” said Collins, Sher and Soderbergh. “There’s so much wattage here, sunglasses may be required.” Jesse Collins, Stacey Sher and Steven Soderbergh
On April 23rd, Oscar nominee Steven Yeun was added to the "ensemble cast".
Surprise! We’re so excited to welcome Steven to the crew, and he completes our Oscars cast. No, really, this is it. Oscar producers Jesse Collins, Stacey Sher and Steven Soderbergh
The previously announced cast list includes Riz Ahmed, Angela Bassett, Halle Berry, Bong Joon Ho, Don Cheadle, Bryan Cranston, Viola Davis, Laura Dern, Harrison Ford, Regina King, Marlee Matlin, Rita Moreno, Joaquin Phoenix, Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon, Renée Zellweger, and Zendaya.
The 93rd Oscars will be held on Sunday, April 25, 2021, at Union Station Los Angeles and the Dolby® Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center® in Hollywood, and international locations via satellite, and will be televised live on ABC at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
