The Academy Awards are not changing course due to the coronavirus (yet)
For this year only, the Academy is waiving the theatrical-run obligation. It’s a temporary change that will expire after this season, with Academy leaders saying they remain otherwise committed to keeping movies in movie theaters. As soon as the quarantine rules allow it, the Academy plans to reinstate its previous policy.
Even when theaters reopen, the Academy will further adjust its rules so that eligible movies don’t have to only screen in Los Angeles, allowing for screening runs in New York City, the San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago, Miami, and Atlanta. Essentially, the same artists will still be nominated, but now it will be within a single award—much like art directors and set decorators share the best-production-design category.
