star Frances McDormand, a two-time Oscar winner who anchors a film in which several real-life “nomads” play versions of themselves, is nominated once again this year.
Davis’s co-star Chadwick Boseman, who died last year from cancer before the release of his tragic final performance as a trumpet player haunted by racist atrocities, is tipped to win the third-ever posthumous acting Oscar.
But the show’s co-producer, Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh, has described the Covid-mandated changes as an “opportunity” for a show unlike “anything that’s been done before.” Stars have been asked to dress to the nines — and reportedly can remove their masks when cameras are rolling. A-list presenters include Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt.
