The Academy is not asking Oscar attendees to wear face masks while cameras are rolling during the live ceremony on April 25.
The news was announced on Monday morning during a Zoom meeting with Academy reps and nominees, and studio and personal publicists. Because the ceremony — being held at Union Station in downtown Los Angeles — is being treated as a TV/film production, masks are not required for people on camera, an Academy rep explained.
However, when guests are not on camera, they are being asked to wear masks. For example, masks should be put on during commercial breaks.
The Academy also revealed that audience capacity will be limited to 170 people. As Variety first reported earlier this month, audience members will be rotated in and out of the ceremony. Upon arrival to Union Station, nominees will receive a personalized itinerary that outlines what times they will be rotated in and out.
