The last time the Peace Prize ceremony was scrapped was in 1976, when the award was "reserved" until the following year owing to a lack of suitable candidates. "It's very possible that, paradoxically, more people than usual will watch the prize ceremony since we've gone to so much effort to be present online," he said. The ceremony will be broadcast on the WFP's Facebook page, YouTube and the Nobel Prize website, among others. Meanwhile in Stockholm, the extravagant festivities have also been cancelled, replaced by events mostly pre-recorded for an online broadcast on Thursday. Stockholm will nonetheless hold a ceremony, albeit with no audience or laureates, at City Hall on Thursday, also broadcast online.
