FeaturedThe 93rd Academy Awards were scheduled about two months later than usual, broadcast on April 25, 2021, to allow for a longer eligibility period for films (from January 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021), due to the COVID-pandemic. Nominations were announced on March 15, 2021. To prepare for the late-April Oscars, it might be wise to read up on the history of the Academy Awards, from 1927 to the present day. Filmsite provides a detailed and very comprehensive overview of winners, all the awards categories, those that were left out, Milestones in the Best Picture category, and Best Picture Genre Biases. The site chronicles each year of the competitive races for many of the major awards categories, as well as major sections of Oscar facts, trivia, statistics, milestones, omissions and snubs, and with selected movie title screens and posters.
