The 93rd Academy Awards will take place today, but it won’t look like the normal awards ceremony.

The awards will take place in multiple locations – and unlike recent ceremonies like the Golden Globes and the Emmys, the Oscars have asked nominees to attend in person.

Mank leads the nominees with 10, but is unlikely to win the night’s top prizes.

Instead, films including Nomadland, Minari, and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom are expected to perform strongly in some of the major categories.
