The Oscars get a new date
The show, which was originally scheduled to air February 28th on ABC, will be extending its eligibility deadlines because of the pause on theatrical releases during the pandemic. Rather than the standard December 31st deadline for eligible films, a feature film must now have a qualifying release date between January 1st, 2020, and February 28th, 2021.
Additionally, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, initially scheduled to open on December 14th, 2020, is now set to open on April 30th, 2021.
