Oscars Highlights 2021

Oscars Highlights 2021 — The 2021 Oscars took place in Los Angeles on April 25, and celebrities like Angela Bassett, Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon and more attended. It was one of the first award shows to bring celebrities back together amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, so the event served as a reunion of sorts. And during the 93rd annual ceremony, so many fun and memorable moments occurred. For example, iconic actress Halle Berry debuted a new hair makeover, supermodel Paulina Porizkova flaunted her new romance with director Aaron Sorkin on the red carpet, and Regina King opened the host-less show flawlessly. She even almost tripped, but recovered like a pro. There was also a mention of ‘Saved By The Bell’s Zack Morris, so that was pretty cool, too.
