Due to the pandemic, the Oscars had a longer eligibility period last year. Because of that, they shortened this year’s period. Therefore, only movies that are released between March 1, 2021, and Dec. 31, 2021, will be eligible to be nominated. Something that is fair because that is technically when movie theaters started to open up.
The Oscars is not only changing that date. They are also changing the date of the show. Instead of airing on February 27th, they will air a month later.
Hopefully, next year’s show will be better than this year’s. But then again, how can anything be worse.
