The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science (The Oscars) is reportedly considering postponing the 93rd Oscars which is set to hold in 2021.
According to reports, there are no concrete plans at the moment for the event which is expected to hold in February 2021, and the rapid shutdown of film production and cinemas has thrown the Oscars schedule into chaos, with many films being released only online.
If you would recall, the Academy announced plans some months ago to support filmmakers amidst the coronavirus pandemic by considering movies that premiered on steaming platforms for Oscar eligibility.
In April, the Academy announced temporary changes in Oscar eligibility, allowing films that missed out on a cinema release to be considered for awards.
Previously, films had to be screened in cinemas for a week before 31 December to be eligible. A postponement may mean the deadline for eligibility would also change.
