An Oscar Night to Remember?
Despite a catastrophic year for Hollywood, the Academy has two advantages going into its ceremony on April 25. One is that it has seen the same good, bad, and sometimes ugly telecasts that we have over the past six months and can learn from them. The other is that it has a new team of producers ready to reimagine the show: director Steven Soderbergh, his longtime producing partner Stacey Sher, and pandemic-era-awards-show expert Jesse Collins. They spoke exclusively to V.F.’s Britt Hennemuth about their bold plans. As Soderbergh put it: “We are hoping the show becomes something like the Biennale or the Met ball, where somebody comes in and rebuilds it every year.”
Elsewhere in HWD, Justin Theroux talks about his promising new show, The Mosquito Coast; V.F.’s critic Sonia Saraiyaweighs in on the special kind of B.S. spun by tech gurus in both life and fiction; Anthony Breznican talks to Hollywood insiders about the agonizing year for movie marketing; and Chris Murphy deconstructs the long-awaited reunion of Benson and Stabler on the Law & Order: SVU and Organized Crime crossover event.
