Backlash
While Hollywood gears up for its big night, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and its major event have recently made headlines for a variety of reasons. The organization has received backlash for its plans to pre-tape eight categories; and splice them into the presentation, as well as its COVID-19 restrictions. COVID-19 vaccinations will be necessary for the majority of guests. However, it will not be essential for presenters and performers, according to Deadline.
