The Academy Awards
were held on Sunday, April 25, at Union Station Los Angeles and the

Previously, the Oscars required all movies seeking to
take home a trophy had to be in theatres but in April 2020, the Academy
announced that for the 93rd Oscars only “films that had a previously
planned theatrical release but are initially made available on a commercial
streaming or VOD service may qualify.”
