Oscars Update 2020-21 Eligibility Rules; Drive-In Screenings Now OK

Fueling the comeback of that one-time moviegoing staple the drive-in, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on Wednesday said it has amended its previously announced pandemic-forced eligibility rules for the awards year ending on February 28, 2021.

Films which are intended for theatrical release, but are initially made available through commercial streaming, VOD service or other broadcast may qualify by making the film available on the secure Academy Screening Room member site within 60 days of the film’s streaming/VOD release or broadcast. Films may qualify with a traditional theatrical release, completing a seven-day run in one of six qualifying cities , screening at least three times daily, with at least one screening between 6 pm and 10 pm daily. Additionally, drive-in theaters in these cities will now qualify as a commercial venue, however, the screening requirement will be adjusted from three times daily to once daily.

Although the Academy made these changes in reaction to more theatres being opened, the fact remains that other than drive-ins, all indoor theaters in voter rich New York City and Los Angeles County remain closed, with no reopening date in sight, hence the adjustment to allow one nightly drive-in screening during a seven-day qualifying run.as a separate document under the 93rd Academy Awards Rules.and keep your inbox happy.
