Hollywood Set For Oscars, With ‘Nomadland’ Out Front

The Oscars on Sunday will mirror the movie industry they honor: forced to experiment with new venues and formats, and likely to be dominated by “Nomadland.”

The crowning event of Hollywood’s awards season was delayed by two months, and will mainly be held at Los Angeles’ Union Station.

In a nod to the past year’s unique circumstances, the 93rd Academy Awards will have a large footprint — the presentation of honorary prizes and musical performances will take place at a Hollywood theater and the Academy’s new film museum, while Europeans unable to travel will gather at “hubs” in London and Paris.

But the main business of handing out golden statuettes will take place at the station — with one particular film expected to depart with a handful including best picture, the night’s final award.
