In what could be the most challenging producing assignment ever for an Oscar show, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences today tapped Jesse Collins, Stacey Sher , and Steven Soderbergh to produce the 93rd Annual Academy Awards which take place on Sunday April 25, 2021, their latest date ever due to delays by the Coronavirus crisis.This will be the first involvement in steering the Oscar show for each of them , although Soderbergh is no stranger since he won the 2000 Directing Oscar for Traffic after also being nominated in the same category that year for Erin Brockovich.
His numerous directing credits include Sex, Lies, And Videotape, the Oceans trilogy of films, Magic Mike and his latest debuting this week , Let Them All Talk.
