As for the virtual setting, in an open letter to nominees, the producers of the telecast said, “We look forward to sharing information with you in the weeks ahead, as we solidify our plans for TV’s biggest night.

Our informal theme for the night is ‘come as you are, but make an effort!’ If you want to be in formal wear, we’d love that, but equally if you’re in the UK and it’s 3am, perhaps you want to be in designer pajamas and record from your bed! We want to work with you to style your moments, but want you to guide us on your levels of comfort – where you want to be, who you want to be with, what you want to wear etc.”
