'We want the nominees to have a special night and we want the winners to have the opportunity to stand up in a room, be handed an Oscar and have that moment. Even though it's been an incredibly challenging year, we didn't want to cheat them out of that'

2021 Oscars producers Steven Soderbergh, Jesse Collins and Stacey Sher.

SODERBERGH: Building a set inside Union Station is obviously a challenge, but not one that anybody on this production hasn't faced before. The biggest logistical challenge for the whole show is figuring out how to incorporate the people who can't be in Union Station in a way that is consistent with our very rigorous and specific aesthetic approach to the show.

SODERBERGH: We can control the surroundings and make sure, in the case of London, we can have elements within that space that tie you to Union Station. We're working to make sure that each of those remotes have some direct sort of visual correlation to what we're doing or at least contribute to the movie-like feel of what we're doing in terms of where they will be.

Isn't the age-old dilemma incorporating all these categories while hitting that running time? How will you do that? SHER: There are two things that AMPAS did right at the beginning of when we got involved that addressed that head on and they're two [Jean] Hersholt [Humanitarian] Awards that we're giving out this year, to Tyler Perry and the Motion Picture Television Fund.

SODERBERGH: It's one year. So to assume that that is sort of a secular change in what films are going to be nominated is unfounded. It was 2020, these are terrific movies and we're leaning into that. That's a discussion that's just not interesting to me.

Oh joy, another left wing political garbage show. No thanks.

In other words nobody wanted to be the host of the lowest rated show ever
