, the board of governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will again convene via Zoom to tackle another pressing issue: the date of Hollywood's biggest night of 2021.
The 93rd Oscars ceremony has long been scheduled for Feb. 28, but the coronavirus pandemic has thrown 2020 into disarray for Hollywood, shuttering theaters across America; preventing production and post-production work on films that were slated to be ready for release by year's end; and disrupting elite film festivals like those in Cannes and Venice that often serve as launching pads for contenders.
While highly unusual, these moves by the Academy are not unprecedented. The Oscars has been delayed three times before — due to LA flooding in 1938; following the assassination of Dr.as I noted back in March , the Oscars eligibility window was extended beyond the traditional 12-month period once before, ahead of the 6th Oscars. That ceremony, in March 1934, was preceded by a 17-month eligibility window spanning Aug. 1, 1932 through Dec. 31, 1933, so that thereafter the eligibility period could be the actual calendar year preceding each ceremony, Jan. 1 through Dec. 31.
The Academy's board must also soon decide what to do about its 12th annual Governors Awards ceremony, a separate major event that it hosts, usually in the second week of November — last year being an exception, as the whole Oscar season timetable was moved up to avoid a conflict with the Olympics, which itself wound up being postponed due to the pandemic — at which it presents honorary Oscars and, in some years, itsHumanitarian Award.
I think it's a typo, supposed to be December 2021.
Almost 16 weeks have PASSED since Feb 28th?
I honestly think the ratings will be horrible - especially with the election coming. The liberal industry & celebs getting up there using the podium to preach their agenda is NOT what we want to hear. Between virtue signaling & politics, count me out! 😕
It's time we stop the Oscar for awhile. Hollywood is just too despicable at the moment.
How about no pompous ceremony just a web reveal of the winners.
Isn't late February early anyway? I thought the Oscars were normally like late March. With the exception of this year and that date for next year.
I’m sure decided with the heads of studios over release delays
get rid of the oscars. they are racist and meaningless
At this point might just cancel the whole thing
