The Oscars Set Will Have Couches and Partitions

The Oscars are making a bold attempt to reinvent the awards show to prevent a ratings disaster. The ceremony will broadcast live from Los Angeles’s historic Union Station, a major transportation hub. Instead of the traditional set at the Dolby Theater, the Oscars set will feature couches and carpets separated by partitions. Attendees like Regina King, Brad Pitt and Reese Witherspoon will not be required to wear masks, but they will all be tested for COVID-19 at least three times before the show.
