That’s a significant departure from the Grammys and the Golden Globes, which both decided to take a virtual turn — due to the still-raging COVID-19 crisis — by having winners and nominees dial into the show via Zoom.The decision to deny the Hollywood elite from joining the ceremony virtually has caused some outcry within the industry.

‘Nomadland’ Wins PGA Best Picture Award—Does This Predict An Oscar Win?

On Wednesday night, Nomadland took home the Best Picture award at the PGA’s virtual ceremony—a significant win on more than one level, since, in the 31 years since the PGA Awards began, it has predicted the Oscars Best Picture winner no less than 21 times. However, last year was an exception to this rule, as 1917 won at PGA but lost out to Parasite at the Oscars. So it will be very interesting to see if PGA restores their Oscar-predicting power this time around.
