Forgive me if this has already been discussed here- the upcoming Academy Awards- I can’t imagine they’re going to be given out in February due to lack of films that have had theater runs. Will/should the awards be canceled?

 

[Jake Lipson]

I can’t imagine they’re going to be given out in February due to lack of films that have had theater runs.

They won't. The Academy has changed the date for the next Oscars to April 25, 2021. Also, films that premiere on streaming services or VOD platforms will now still be eligible for consideration as long as they were originally intended for theatrical release prior to the pandemic. There was a thread about this a while back.

Of course, if the movie business does not come back to life soon, there might be further changes. We'll see what happens.

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

The thread this year should be titled "2020 Versus The Boxoffice".

 

[Jake Lipson]

I endorse that change. @Tino?
