The 93rd Academy Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), honored the best films of 2020 and early 2021. It took place in Los Angeles, at both Union Station and the Dolby Theatre, on April 25, 2021, two months later than originally planned, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cinema.
