The Red Carpet will be a ‘teeny-tiny event’ and not the traditional one with the crowd and crowded press lines.
As per New York Times, amid pandemic, the safety protocols for Oscars 2021 include specially designed testing cadences to up-to-the-minute results and an on-site safety team with testing capability.
