The Oscars will be happening on April 26 (SGT) this year. Here's everything you need to know before the big show

After a delay of almost two months, the highly-anticipated Oscars 2021 ceremony will finally be taking place on April 26 (SGT). While most award shows such as the Emmys and the Golden Globes have gone virtual due to the pandemic, the Oscars will remain an in-person event.

Attendance will be limited however to only the nominees themselves, their guests, and the presenters.

To accommodate nominees who cannot fly in for the ceremony, the organisers will be setting up European "hubs" in certain cities such as Paris or London to allow nominees to participate almost in person. They will likely announce more locations in the coming weeks.

To prepare yourself for the upcoming Oscars, we answer some of your most pressing questions.
