The organizers of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences delayed Thursday the date of the 94th Oscars ceremony from Sunday, Feb. 27, 2022, to Sunday, March 27, 2022.

In a statement, the Academy said the eligibility period for Academy Awards consideration will return to the standard December 31 deadline after having been extended to February 28. This year will encompass just 10 months where a feature film must have a qualifying release date between March 1 and December 31, 2021.

The Academy added that the eligibility requirements for the 94th Academy Awards will be consistent with the addendums made for the 93rd awards. Following this year, the Academy intends to expand the qualifying requirements for the 95th Oscars.

It also set for the nominees for next year’s Oscars will be announced on Feb. 8, 2022, and the full 94th Awards rules and specialty category submission deadlines to be announced in June.
