FILE - In this Feb. 24, 2016, file photo, an Oscar statue is pictured underneath the entrance to the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. When the Oscars broadcast begins April 25 on ABC, there won’t be an audience. The base of the show won’t be the Academy Awards’ usual home, the Dolby Theatre (though the Dolby will still be involved), but Union Station, the airy, Art Deco-Mission Revival railway hub in downtown Los Angeles. For the producers, the challenges of COVID are an opportunity to, finally, rethink the Oscars. (Photo by Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP, File)
