The Academy faces a dilemma over Oscars eligibility as studios push back release dates or opt to debut theatrical films on VOD as cinemas go dark
For one, the organization could move forward with its existing timetable and choose nominees from that very limited pool of options.
Alternatively, it could make a one-time provision allowing films to qualify for Oscars eligibility via streaming services — distributors' own and/or the one created for Academy members — even if they have not screened for a week in an LA theater. Or, the Academy could postpone the Oscars, something it has done three times before — for one week in 1938 when LA was hit by severe flooding; for two days in 1968 in the wake of the assassination of Dr.Ronald ReaganThere actually is precedent for making the eligibility period something other than the January-December calendar year. Consider the first six Oscars ceremonies:Eligibility period: Aug. 1, 1928 — July 31, 1929Note: Technically, it would appear, films released between Aug.
Ever since the sixth Oscars, the ceremony has been held in February, March or April, and considered films released during the prior calendar year — but there is nothing compelling the organization to maintain that timetable.
