The 93rd Academy Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), will honor the best films of 2020 and early 2021, in Los Angeles, at the Dolby Theatre and Union Station, April 25, 2021, two months later than originally planned, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic:
Nominations were announced March 15, 2021.
The Academy announced June 2020 it was postponing the ceremony from its originally scheduled date of February 28, 2021, to April 25 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cinema, thereby extending the eligibility period for feature films through to February 28, 2021.
The eligibility criteria had already been modified to account for films originally intended to have a theatrical release...
...but which were ultimately released directly to streaming services.
This marks the fourth time that the Academy Awards have been postponed...
...and the first time since the 6th Academy Awards that films released in two different calendar years...
...will be eligible for award consideration in the same ceremony.
