After awards season concluded this year, we were given a date that the 2021 Oscars would take place (as we do every year).

It was scheduled to take place on February 28th, 2021 but now the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has revealed that they will reschedule the award ceremony to take place April 25th, 2021.
