Chair Speak

The ChairSpeaker News Letter delivers the news about the sound that surrounds us.

Hi ,

Having the Oscars back this year felt a little different to me than it has in the past. Having it delayed due to the pandemic was an obvious abnormality.  

Normally, you would have a good idea about who and what was nominated because you have either seen or at least known about the movies and actors/actresses that were nominated. 

This year with almost all of the movies bypassing the theaters and being streamed for home viewing, you lost a sense what was available to see and to know about the nominees.  

To be honest, I have never heard of most of the movies that were nominated or who was in them until they were announced during the show and I enjoy watching the movies about as much as anyone.

If you happened to have missed the show, here are some of the winners from last night:

• Best Picture: Nomadland
• Best Actress: Frances McDormand - Nomadland
• Best Actor: Anthony Hopkins - The Father
• Best Supporting Actress: Yuh-Jung Youn - Minari
• Best Supporting Actor: Daniel Kaluuya - Judas and the Black Messiah
• Best Director: Chloe Zhao - Nomadland
