By Christine Zosche 

The 93rd Oscars aren’t until February, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is considering postponing the big night, according to multiple sources. (Variety)

The academy recently changed its eligibility rules, temporarily, to allow streaming-only films to compete at the 93rd annual telecast due to the coronavirus pandemic, which has halted the release of many films. (New York Post)

There are no definitive plans to delay the event yet; one insider said new dates haven’t been discussed or proposed, but the source said postponement is “likely.” The broadcast is currently slated for Feb. 28, 2021, to air on ABC.
