Yahya Abdul-Mateen II discusses "The Trial of the Chicago 7," plus: what will the 2021 Oscars look like?

Cohosts David Canfield and Clarissa Cruz are joined by EW's digital writer and Hollywood history expert Maureen Lee Lenker to discuss the innovative, ambiguous plans for the 2021 Oscars ceremony, which will take place at both the typical Dolby Theater and, in a first, Union Station in Los Angeles. Maureen, Clarissa, and David discuss how this fits into the evolution of the Academy Awards, and how the still-pending Academy Museum might be folded into the plans as well. Plus: The Awardist gets to talking about the SAG Awards, and welcomes one such ensemble nominee, The Trial of the Chicago 7's Yahya Abdul Mateen II, onto the show More at ew.com, ew.com/awardist, and @EW. Host/Producers: David Canfield (@davidcanfield97) and Clarissa Cruz (@clarissanyc1); Special Guest: Maureen Lee Lenker (@TheMaureenLee); Editors: Carly Usdin (@carlytron) and Joshua Heller (@joshuaheller); Executive Producers: Shana Naomi Krochmal (@shananaomi) and Carly Usdin.
