Only nominees, their guests and presenters will be allowed to attend the Oscars in person

Variety

In a letter to Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences members, Academy president wrote: "Though we’d hoped the pandemic would be more in our rearview mirror by the month of April, the health and safety of our members and Oscar nominees are our primary concern, so we’ve had to make some necessary decisions about some of our highly anticipated Oscar-week events. This year, those attending the awards in person will be nominees, their guest, and presenters — with an audience of millions watching and cheering from all around the world. As a result, we will not be able to conduct our annual member ticket lottery."
