The academy wants everyone in the Dolby Theatre an hour before the Oscars telecast begins. But the red carpet preshow will still be airing on ABC.
With the Academy Awards just days away, A-listers and nominees throughout Hollywood are already practicing speeches, prepping red-carpet sound bites and being fitted for gowns, tuxes and jewels in anticipation of what everyone hopes will be a return to a relatively normal in-person Oscars on Sunday.
Some are now asking whether Sunday’s Oscars ceremony could similarly turn out to be a super-spreader event. The academy has some protocols in place. The Times reached out to representatives for nominees in the acting, directing and writing categories and, while some have not finalized their schedules, most, if not all, seem fully intent on showing solidarity for the impacted categories — film editing, sound, original score, production design, makeup and hairstyling, live-action short, animated short and documentary short — by arriving an hour early.The PGA film prize has often been a strong precursor to an Oscar best picture win.
“I will absolutely be present when the makeup category is being called, and if that means I’m not doing press on the red carpet or ABC or whatever it is, then so be it,” Jessica Chastain, a lead actress nominee for “The Eyes of Tammy Faye,” said inTo help stars avoid any such potential conflicts, the academy and ABC are opening the red carpet an hour earlier than usual, at 1 pm, and staggering arrival times.
