This comes after the academy was forced to delay its 2021 awards show from February to April due to the coronavirus pandemic. The academy had also delayed the window of eligibility for this year s award show to Feb. 28. That decision allowed movies such as The United States vs. Billie Holiday and Judas and the Black Messiah to be considered for this year s awards.
The academy s board voted on Wednesday to approve an exception made for this year s award season regarding movie eligibility to apply for the 2022 awards as well. This decision will allow films that were supposed to be released in theaters, but were instead released for on-demand home viewing because of coronavirus-related theater closures to be eligible for an Academy Award.
