Kapanlagi.com - The closure of cinemas during the Covid-19 pandemic has allowed films that are streamed on digital platforms to meet the requirements for entry into the Academy Awards next year.

This was directly announced by the Oscar Organizer on Tuesday, April 28, 2020. According to Reuters, in the official statement from the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences, it was mentioned that there are changes in requirements between last year and next year.

"The Academy believes there is no greater way to experience the magic of film than to watch it in cinemas. Our commitment to that has not changed and remains unshakable. However, the tragic COVID-19 pandemic requires this temporary exception," said President David Rubin and Chief Executive Dawn Hudson.

1. Must be Played Safely

Previously, the requirement for a film to be eligible for the Academy Awards was that it had to be screened in Los Angeles theaters for approximately seven days.

This was done as one of the criteria and considerations to determine whether the films were worthy of qualifying. After that, the selected films would then enter several categories and be nominated for awards.

2. Netflix and Other Streaming Film Platforms

The emergence of Netflix and several streaming platforms has made Hollywood work harder. Despite being only available for streaming, these digital platforms are able to attract big stars to join their projects.

In 2019, Netflix managed to surpass conventional film studios by winning awards for the film ROMA as the best foreign language film of 2019.

Well, it is also possible that several original Netflix films that will be released in 2020 will compete in the 2021 Academy Awards, which will take place on February 28, 2021 in Hollywood, Los Angeles.
