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 Academy also extended the deadline by which movies must be released in order to be eligible for an Oscar nomination to Feb. 28, 2021, from Dec. 31, 2020. It was only the fourth time in the 93-year history of the Academy Awards that the date has been changed; in 1938, due to floods in Los Angeles, in 1968 because of the assassination of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and in 1981 after the attempted assassination of then-President Ronald Reagan.

Cancel totally

With everything going on in the world today: I could give two 'blanks' who wins an Oscar. Actor's and Actresses are a collection of phonies and miscreants whom believe their little gold statue signifies something of importance. Well, it does not. Symbols are for the symbol minded

And yet no one cares if they cancel it completely.

How about postponing for...hmmmm....permanently!? 👏👏👏 Does anyone even watch it anymore?

Noooo... Not the oscaaars!!!

who cares...

It's beautiful

I've been okay without new movies. I'm watching old films and they're much better than most that I've seen in the past 10 years, or so.

Oh well going to the movies just isn’t what it used to be and who wants to risk getting shot up by a deranged lunatic in full body armour or support unhinged TDS suffering Hollywood actors anyway ? Not me.

Good!! AbolishHollywood

excellent

Hate that for them....not

Cancel the Oscars, permanently!

El Óscar debe tener vergüenza por todos los casos de escándalo en mas de 80años en Hollywood la industria del entretenimiento que lo manejan los Judíos/Americanos? Que todo lo hacen por 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰........

Just cancel them! Nobody watches anymore, anyway. Don't even think of bringing them back until they get rid of all the political shit!

And the Oscar nominee award winner goes too NorthKorea!

I hope they cancel that shit already no one cares

This gives more time for multi-millionaire actors, directors and producers to act like bigshots for 30 seconds and make a stupid political comment that accomplished nothing except make them look like morons.

That’s a shame, was hoping they’d be delayed indefinitely

Pretty sure no one gives a shit

No one cares. Next.

Hopefully for ever

Damn I'm going to have to change my reminder to make sure I miss it

Hopefully that will buy enough time to book Richie Gervais as host.

is what it is everything is getting delayed in some way all round the world

Cancel them permanently. It’s not essential and most movies stink lately. Certainly not worth the price of admission.

Sad

Nobody cares

Guess what? No one cares. At all. Hollywood is dead.

How do we go about canceling it permanently. 🤔

I’m crushed.
