Nominees will be announced March 15.This is only the fourth such case in the history “Oscar”: However, 25 April is the latest date of delivery “Oscars” for the duration of their existence since 1929. As for the format of the ceremony — will it be accompanied by the traditional red carpet will be present audience in the hall, what measures will be taken for her security, about it to speak while early.If earlier it lasted from 1 January until 31 December 2020, now extreme date was February 28, 2021. This is done to ensure that the filmmakers managed to finish painting, on-set graphics are affected by the epidemic COVID-19.In an official statement the President of the Academy, David Rubin, and its chief Executive officer dawn Hudson said: “Over a century of cinema plays an important role in to comfort, inspire, and entertain us in the darkest times. It definitely makes it this year. We hope that the extension of the period of hire and the date the awards provide the flexibility needed to complete and release films that no one has been punished for something that is beyond his control.” They also recalled the opening of the long-suffering Museum of the Academy whose construction is 2016. Before this event was planned in December of this year, but now postponed to April 30, 2021 (one can only hope that this time he did not hurt).In April, the film Academy have already made changes to its rules in connection with the epidemic of the coronavirus: if you had to be nominated could only paintings, not less than seven days prokatyvalis in theaters in Los Angeles, now to the selection of eligible films released online only.

The organizers of the autumn film festivals in Venice and Toronto, which traditionally begins the awards season, earlier confirmed that the date of the event remain the same: from 2 to 12 September and from 10 to 21 September, respectively. However, the change in shooting schedules and the transfer of the main events of the season can not affect his schedule.

The ceremony of awarding the BAFTA shifted from 14 February to 11 April 2021, and the period of selection of nominees will also be increased. Surely we should also expect transfers “Golden globe”, which awards the Hollywood foreign press Association, and awards professional guilds, largely determine the chances of the films in “the Oscar”.Julia Sigelman
