Oscars 2021 - Pushed Back by Two Months *BAFTA's also moved*

BAFTA on Monday said that its next EE British Academy Film Awards will now be held on April 11, 2021, keeping in line with the Oscars which earlier in the day shifted its 2021 date to April 25 in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

The move will certainly be the first of many as the guilds and precursor film-awards groups shuffle their dates to line up the season, which has been shut down by COVID-19.
