Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.
With 1,060,002 views on Monday, 26 April 2021 our article of the day is 93rd Academy Awards.
The 93rd Academy Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), honored the best films of 2020 and early 2021. It took place in Los Angeles, at both Union Station and the Dolby Theatre, on April 25, 2021 – two months later than originally planned, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cinema. The nominations were announced on March 15. Nomadland won three awards, the most of the night, including Best Picture. Other winners included The Father, Judas and the Black Messiah, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Mank, Soul, and Sound of Metal with two awards, and Another Round, Colette, If Anything Happens I Love You, Minari, My Octopus Teacher, Promising Young Woman, Tenet, and Two Distant Strangers with one.
This ceremony marked the first time since the 78th Academy Awards in 2006 that no film won more than three awards, and the first time since the 44th Academy Awards in 1972 (when the show ended with an honorary award to Charlie Chaplin) that the ceremony did not end with the award for Best Picture (ending, instead, with the awards for Best Actress and Actor, respectively). The ceremony viewership was 9.85 million viewers, making it the least viewed Oscar telecast.
