Oscars delayed to April 2021 due to movie industry coronavirus chaos

LOS ANGELES - The 2021 Oscars ceremony was moved to April from February on Monday due to the havoc caused in the movie industry by the coronavirus pandemic.

The coronavirus pandemic shut down movie theatres worldwide in mid-March and brought production of films to a halt. “Our hope, in extending the eligibility period and our Awards date, is to provide the flexibility filmmakers need to finish and release their films without being penalised for something beyond anyone’s control,” Academy President David Rubin and Academy Chief Executive Dawn Hudson said in a statement.

The new date for the Oscars is expected to prompt the Golden Globes and other award shows to also reschedule their events.
