Oscars: Academy Delays April Board Meeting; Key Fall Film Festivals Hope To Keep The Lights On For Movie Awards Season
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences on Monday emailed Deadline that this month’s planned Board of Governors meeting, originally set for April 14, has now been delayed two weeks to Tuesday, April 28. Normally the April meeting is one that discusses the past Oscar show and analyzes it in detail with the producers.
Combined with the myriad films, many of them blockbusters from studios, already delayed and moved into that fall sector, we are looking at an enormously crowded period. On top of that, many films that had been penciled in to compete in the awards arena for 2020 have had to halt production and will, first and foremost, need to get back into gear at some point to even finish shooting, much less get to post-production.
As it is, Academy members have a tough enough time trying to get to all the movies sent to them, or in theaters, or on the Academy’s new streaming service. Being optimistic that there are the usual number of worthy contenders available, the next Oscar season could be the most densely populated ever, though it remains a big question.
The Academy’s arcane method of requiring each individual country to put up their choice to compete would seem to make that contest a real fright show with the Coronavirus knocking so many countries for a loop and making a mess of eligibility release dates in those countries. This is a pressing issue for that Governors meeting, now on April 28th .
