COVID19: Streaming films eligible for Oscars this year!

The Movies that had direct digital release will be considered for the Oscars only for this year.

Since the theaters are currently closed due to the pandemic, most of the filmmakers are preferring online releases.

The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences on Tuesday announced the change for the 93rd Academy Awards as a response to how the coronavirus pandemic has impacted the film industry.

“The Academy firmly believes there is no greater way to experience the magic of movies than to see them in a theater. Our commitment to that is unchanged and unwavering,” said Academy President David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson in a statement. “Nonetheless, the historically tragic COVID-19 pandemic necessitates this temporary exception to our awards eligibility rules.”

The academy’s board noted, however, that when theaters reopen, the rules exemption will no longer apply.
Many expect cinemas nationwide to reopen by June or July.

The 93rd Academy Awards are scheduled to be held in Los Angeles on Feb. 28, 2021.
