Since 2008, the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles has been the go-to venue for the annual television awards, but this year the ceremony will take place at L.A. Live's Event Deck, a space that offers indoor and outdoor locations for the production.
Socially distanced audience seating means that only around 500 guests will attend Sunday's ceremony compared to several thousand in previous years,Attendees will follow strict Covid-19 protocols throughout the ceremony that mimic safety measures put in place on Hollywood sets. This includes testing all participants, requiring vaccinations and ensuring that everyone is wearing a mask when they are not on camera, Frank Scherma, chairman and CEO of the Television Academy told Variety.
With the smaller audience, the Television Academy plans to seat attendees at tables and serve food and drink. Typically, this event takes place in a traditional theater, with audiences seated in rows. "We want to do two things at once, make sure we have a safe environment for everyone who was attending the show, but also, let's get out of the kind of typical theater situation," executive producer Reggie Hudlin told Variety.
"Let's get relaxed," he said. "Let's sit at tables. Let's drink a little, let's have a little nibble. This is how we figured that makes for the maximum fun for both the viewers and the folks who are nominated. We're going to have multiple stages, we'll have projection screens. We'll have chandeliers. And so we'll make it look like a fun, ritzy party that you want to go to.""We really want to give people a show," Hudlin said.
