2021 Oscars Postponed To April 25, Latest Date Ever; Films Eligible Through February 28; Academy Museum Opening Delayed To April 30

As widely expected and endlessly speculated, the other shoe has dropped and Oscar is on the move. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences announced this morning that the 93rd Academy Awards , originally scheduled for February 28, 2021 will now take place on April 25 instead, the latest date ever since Oscar started the TV era in 1953. Previously the latesttook Best Picture on April 18, 1966. It was also the first time they were telecast in color.

Of course this sets a crazy course ahead for the next movie awards season. For the first time since Oscar’s earliest days, the eligibility requirements for movies is extended by two months. Movies that have a qualifying release date between January 1, 2020 and February 28, 2021 will now be able to compete in the next Academy Awards. Submission dates for various categories are also updated due to these momentous changes.

I am told by AMPAS sources that before reaching this decision they worked very closely with studios/distributors to see what needed to finish and ready films. AMPAS also worked , I am told, closely with the LA Department of Public Health , and Dr. Atul Nakhasi among others, whose advice was to push out as far as possible to allow for as much information on the pandemic as possible, as they expect and hope to have a much better idea in the new year, thus informing next steps in a better way.

As for the Academy Museum, it has trudged through a number of delays and hoped-for openings. Hopefully for this long anticipated landmark this one sticks. Bill Kramer, director of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, said, “I speak for all of us at the Museum when I say that we have been eagerly awaiting the moment when we can share the Academy Museum with movie lovers everywhere.

Future eligibility windows and the Oscar show date for 2022 will be announced at a later date as will information regarding the 12th annual Governors Awards which AMPAS confirms will not take place as usual this fall.
