The 93rd Academy Awards are taking place on Saturday night, and they’re expected to bring a powerful and significant celebration of the world of film. Given the circumstances of the past year — as the COVID-19 pandemic has done away with much of the traditional movie theater experience — this has been expected to be an Oscar event unlike any other. An element of that has been to encourage moviegoers to go back to theaters, as vaccination efforts continue and major blockbusters roll back into theaters. As part of the Oscars’ pre-show, the ceremony unveiled a brief promo video celebrating the idea of returning back to movies. The video included an introduction from actor Matthew McConaughey, as well as clips from blockbusters like Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Black Widow, DC’s The Suicide Squad and The Batman, and other blockbusters like F9: The Fast Saga and Jungle Cruise.
