Oscars may be postponed due to coronavirus: report

But with theaters shuttered, blockbusters delayed and productions halted, the prize-giving Academy has already been forced to make significant rules changes.

No formal proposals or detailed discussions have yet taken place over moving the event, or potential new dates, the report said. Last month, the Academy -- seen as the apex body of the Hollywood film industry -- eased eligibility rules, allowing movies that skip the big screen this year to contend for Oscars.At the time, the body also warned that"additional adjustments to Academy rules, eligibility requirements and scheduling may be required."

Currently, films must be released by December 31 to be considered for the following year's Oscars, which usually take place in February or March.The Oscars are the grand finale of a movie award season starting in earnest with the Golden Globes in early January.
