The novel virus has caused movies to put a hold on their releases. In a typical year, there are certain rules for Oscar-eligibility based on how the film is shot, how long it is and how long it has been shown in theaters. Because most theaters have been closed for over a year now and films have had to use streaming platforms for release, the Academy changed their rules for 2021 to make it so that films released on streaming services are still eligible for nomination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In years past, the Academy has been criticized for a lack of diversity in nominees. This year, two women are nominated for best director (that\u2019s an increase of 200% from last year\u2019s nominees) and nine out of twenty persons of color are nominated for their acting. Films such as \u201cJudas and the Black Messiah\u201d and \u201cBorat Subsequent Moviefilm\u201d deal with issues of race throughout America\u2019s dark history of racism. That\u2019s not even to mention nominated films that deal with other critical social issues such as feminism, disabilities, miscarriages and mental health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be certain, this will be an unforgettable Oscars due to the current events and state of the world it will take place in. That\u2019s the beauty of film \u2014 it captures a moment in time for generations to remember. So don\u2019t miss the 93rd Academy Awards on Sunday, April 15!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Devon Mitchell It\u2019s the most exciting time of the year again!
