The 93rd annual Academy Awards, held at the Dolby Theatre and Union Station was historic in more ways than one, making the wait for the Oscars, due to COVID, totally worth it. According to Fox News, this year's ceremony no doubt looked different due to the coronavirus drastically reducing the number of attendees and shifting the musical performances from their usual time slots to a pre-show before the ceremony.

Still, it was one of the year's starriest nights. Celebrities like Sacha Baron Cohen, Amanda Seyfried, and more appeared in hopes of walking away with a golden statuette while others like Halle Berry and Harrison Ford presented the awards.
