The
very famous "Night of the Oscars" which is taking place in Los
Angeles right now has just started.
In Italy, due to the time zone, we could enjoy it from midnight and then
(00:15) on CANALE 8.
This year, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the "Oscar Night" event was
delayed by over two months.
Last year's edition instead took place normally having taken place just a
few days before the start of the pandemic around the world.
Director Annarita Campo had the honor of having two invitations to
the Oscar nominations from the Italian commission and had the honor of
participating in the 2010 edition which was held at the Kodak Theather.
The award ceremony of the Oscars as every year has always taken place in the
splendid setting of the "Dolby Theather" in the heart of Hollywood in
Los Angeles.
This year, however, in addition to Dolby Theather, the large and suggestive
hall of "Union Station" is added, which is the main train station in Los
Angeles and other locations in France and the United Kingdom for overseas
candidates who will not be able to travel to the States due to restrictions
COVID-19.
The "red carpet" will be there again this year but will be resized compared
to previous editions.
The categories of this edition of the Oscars will be 23 instead of 24 like
all the respective editions as two categories have been merged into only one
or "best sound editing" (Best sound editing) and "best sound mixing" (Best
sound mixing) have become the category "best sound" (Best sound).
Held this year is the 93rd Academy Awards and will no longer have a single
presenter.
Many stars will animate this edition and deliver the coveted statuette of
the 2021 edition of the Oscars.
The producers of the show have announced the presence of: Steven
Soderbergh, Stacey Sher and Jesse Collins who will actively participate in
the evening and some candidates and winners of the past editions such as:
Laura Dern, Harrison Ford, Regina King, Marlee Matlin, Rita Moreno, Joaquin
Phoenix , Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon, Steven Yeun, Renée Zellweger, Riz
Ahmed, Angela Bassett, Halle Berry, Zendaya, Don Cheadle, Bryan Cranston,
Viola Davise and Bong Joon Ho.
Film fans will be able to attend the Academy Awards ceremony, as we said
before, from tonight to midnight and fifteen on TV8 with reruns the next day.
To conduct the evening on TV8 there will be Francesco Castelnuovo in
the company of Gianni Canova and the journalist of Sky TG24 Denise Negri as
well as the presence of other guests.
Italy cheers on the costume designer MASSIMO CANTINI PARRINI
nominated with the
film "PINOCCHIO" by Matteo Garrone, which has already received
the
"David di Donatello" award 4 times, and the singer Laura Pausini
nominated with the song
"Io Sì".
"DIVI & CINEMA" will cheer for both of them but especially for the
brillant costume designer MASSIMO CANTINI PARRINI, whom our editor and director Annarita Campo
met on the set of Joe Wright's masterpiece "Cyrano" produced
by Metro Goldwin Meyers.
