Producing the Oscars during a normal year is one of Hollywood’s most thankless jobs. It involves handing out 24 awards, while pleasing nervous nominees in the theater, distracted audiences at home and ratings-weary TV executives.

This year’s Oscar producers, Jesse Collins, Stacey Sher and Steven Soderbergh, are adding the complexity of COVID-19 to the task.

The producers spoke with The Hollywood Reporter on April 10 about their evolving plans for the Academy’s big night, which will unfold at L.A.’s Union Station on April 25.

Have you started building the Oscars stage at Union Station yet? STEVEN SODERBERGH: We loaded in last week. The sets are being built now and it's going around the clock.
