An academy spokesperson said on Wednesday that the ceremony will broadcast live from multiple locations on April 25. The announcement comes as many cities that are important film hubs, including Los Angeles, New York and London, remain under strict coronavirus restrictions. The Golden Globes, which has also been scarce on specific details, is planning its own bicoastal broadcast for Feb. 28. The Oscars were pushed back two months because of the pandemic. Last year's show had the smallest audience ever of 23.6 million viewers, down 20 per cent from the year prior.
