The ceremony for film’s highest honours will now take place on April 25, 2021, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences disclosed in a statement. The Academy in its statement signed by President David Rubin and Academy Chief Executive Dawn Hudson 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.
