The 2021 Oscar ceremony is likely to be delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to a report in the film industry magazine Variety.
Citing unnamed industry sources, Variety said the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is considering the situation and the Oscars, currently due to take place on 28 February 2021, will probably be postponed.
The rapid shutdown of film production and cinemas has thrown the Oscars schedule into chaos, with many films being released only online.
We know we want to celebrate film but we do not know exactly what form it will take.”
