That's a less than encouraging sign.And I just went to the Landmark and they had a sign up saying that they couldn't open because the county positivity rate was too high. And this was supposed to be opening day.

Just a friendly PSA to remind people to be careful at home. I got infected by my daughter who came over to visit last Monday on her way home from work. She was complaining that she wasn't feeling well and stupid me didn't think anything of it because she's such a hypochondriac. Had I been thinking clearly, I would have sent her home immediately. I got a cough and a fever last Wednesday, but even that didn't give me pause. It wasn't until I lost my sense of taste on Tuesday that I realized something was off. I went and got tested and it came back positive. The Doctor says I have to stay isolated through tomorrow, but that I'm likely to not have any more issues. Thankfully, we both had very mild cases.
I only say this because I'm a person who has been to movies, restaurants etc on a regular basis and I'm constantly careful. After all of that, I got infected right in my own home because I let my guard down.
I imagine they will if the pandemic still necessitates it in April (and I think it will). If they don't, there's going to be a ton of "Millionaire fatcats in Hollyweird are hypocrites" criticism. And that criticism will definitely happen even if they have no audience or guests and only bring the nominees in separate groups and seat them apart from each other.The Academy stupidly plans to have the Oscars be an in person ceremony.
Academy Mulling Options for 2021 Oscars Ceremony
The Academy will be holding an in-person show for their Oscars telecast in April, Variety has learned exclusively.variety.com
I hope CA blocks this plan.

Keep in mind that the majority of nominees are rich so they will definitely not have to wait as long for the vaccine as the regular population. Honestly, I didn't even consider the vaccine's effect on the Oscars and now that I am, I think they will have the in-person show.I wouldn't have a problem with it if they were planning to have the ceremony in August when it looks like vaccines will be wide spread, I'm not convinced they will be available enough by April.
Jeff,Just a friendly PSA to remind people to be careful at home. I got infected[...]because I let my guard down.
