12 Best Behind-the-Scenes Moments From the Oscars 2021 (PHOTOS)

The 93rd Annual Academy Awards certainly were different: Multiple locations, masks on the stars when they weren’t on camera, and everyone getting used to gathering in groups again after the pandemic. However, there was still plenty of behind-the-scenes magic captured in photos.
From moments shared backstage after stars accepted Oscars — like a sweet hug between Minar stars Yuh-Jung Youn and Steven Yeun after her win for Best Actress in a Supporting Role — to ones at the tables off-camera — like Angela Bassett and Viola Davis — and ones on the red carpet, we’ve rounded up the ones you don’t want to miss in the gallery below.
Plus, don’t miss a look at Daniel Kaluuya getting his Supporting Actor Oscar for his work in Judas and the Black Messiah engraved, a Big Little Lies reunion, a look inside the portrait studio in London, and more. Scroll down for more to see the fun had even if we don’t have pictures from traditional after-parties as there have been in previous years.
