The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) is mulling about postponing the 2021 Oscars award ceremony.

Sources told Variety that it is "likely" that the coveted award show, which is currently set to take place on 28 February, 2021, might be moved to a later date.

However, nothing concrete has been discussed by the members as yet, a potential new date for the ceremony.

Academy president David Rubin had recently told the outlet, "It's impossible to know what the landscape will be. We know we want to celebrate film but we do not know exactly what form it will take."
