The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences has announced some changes for the 93rd Academy Awards. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, films that had a planned theatrical release but were released on a streaming platform may qualify for categories such as best picture. Time has the details:
“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.”
