Unlike the past couple of years where glitchy WiFi connections saw dolled-up actors accept their Oscars from inside their hotel rooms, film’s biggest night is here in person this year. Hosted by Amy Schumer, Regina Hall and Wanda Sykes, it’s evident the Academy is throwing everything at this year’s ceremony to avoid another COVID-dogged TV ratings disaster. And, in this dreary world, perhaps a potent cocktail of comedy and glamour will be the temporary reprieve we need to start our Mondays.

While we wait to see who will take home the inaugural Best Picture gong (New Zealand-born director Jane Campion and her film The Power Of The Dog is expected to win here, despite recently appearing to knock Serena and Venus Williams), let’s cast our attention to the Hollywood & Highland entertainment complex in Los Angeles to take a look at that red carpet.
