奧斯卡主辦方美國(guó)電影藝術(shù)與科學(xué)學(xué)院主席大衛(wèi)·魯賓和首席執(zhí)行官道恩·哈德森說(shuō)：“一個(gè)多世紀(jì)以來(lái)，在最黑暗的時(shí)期，電影在安慰、鼓舞大家和娛樂(lè)方面發(fā)揮了重要作用。”

"They certainly have this year. Our hope, in extending the eligibility period and our awards date, is to provide the flexibility filmmakers need to finish and release their films without being penalised for something beyond anyone's control.

The current rules say films can only enter if they have been shown in a Los Angeles cinema for at least a week.

The Oscars is not the only big entertainment event to have been affected by Covid-19.

It also said there would always be 10 films in the best film category rather than a fluctuating number between five and 10.

該機(jī)構(gòu)還表示，“最佳影片”提名數(shù)量固定在10部，而不是此前的5至10部之間浮動(dòng)。
