Across the pond: Isla and Sasha relocated from Los Angeles to Sydney late last year
The event may be one of the least seen Academy Awards of all time due to the lack of celebrities attending the event.
There was only about 170 attendees in all, which is far less than the 3,000 that normally attended the Oscars pre pandemic.
In contrast with the largely virtual Golden Globes, Zoom boxes were closed out — though numerous international hubs and satellite feeds were connected for nominees unable to travel.
Isla and Sasha relocated from Los Angeles to Sydney late last year.
And while it’s been widely speculated that they moved Down Under to escape the coronavirus pandemic ravaging the US, new reports claim they were actually fleeing America’s tumultuous political climate.
‘They didn’t want to raise their kids in Trump’s America,’ an insider told The Sydney Morning Herald of the couple’s decision to move to Australia on Sunday.
The couple relocated to Australia in December, and have since enrolled their three children at a school in Sydney.
