No, the 'Hamilton' Movie Can't Win Any Oscars Next Year
Next year's Academy Awards will not be where it happens, if what's happening is Disney+'s Hamilton movie winning an Oscar. (After all, as the adjusted rule stipulates, the filmed version was originally slated to open in theaters.) According to the 93rd Academy Awards Special Rules for the Documentary Awards, "Works that are essentially promotional or instructional are not eligible, nor are works that are essentially unfiltered records of performances." According to Variety, the language barring recording stage production was added in 1997. Hamilton is currently streaming on Disney+, while the 93rd Oscars were recently postponed two months and are set to take place April 25, 2021.
Like the Oscars, the 2021 BAFTA Awards Have Been Postponed Due to Coronavirus
Following the postponement of next year's Oscars, the rest of awards season is following suit: The 2021 EE British Academy Film Awards has been redated to take place two weeks ahead of the Academy Awards. BAFTA announced on Monday that its upcoming ceremony will be held on April 11, 2021. "This change from the previously announced date of Feb. 14 acknowledges the impact of the global pandemic and accommodates an extended eligibility period," BAFTA said in a statement. The BAFTA Awards traditionally takes place two weeks before the Oscars, so it's only fitting that the Academy's announcement earlier in the day -- that its ceremony had been pushed from Feb. 28 to April 25 -- would prompt a rescheduling from BAFTA.

We now know why Eminem performed at the Oscars -- sort of
(CNN) -- If you want Eminem at your function, all youโve got to do is ask. Maybe heโll say yes on the second try. "Lose Yourself" won Eminem the Oscar for Best Original Song in 2003 -- so why, in 2020, was he back on our screens, rapping about Mom's spaghetti? In an interview with Variety, Eminem said he never expected to win back then, so he didn't go. He didn't confirm that to Variety, but he did say he's open to it if the right script comes along.
2020 Oscar Nominations: Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncรฉ and More of the Biggest Snubs and Surprises
The 2020 Oscar nominations arrived on Monday morning, and while there was plenty to celebrate -- the BongHive is eating good with Parasite's record six nominations -- there were more omissions this year than ever that had us scratching our heads or screaming into the void. Below, ET's resident Oscars pundit breaks down this year's biggest snubs and surprises, from the unforgiveable lack of nominations showered upon Hustlers and The Farewell to Little Women's not-so-little haul. Despite the original Frozen winning the Oscar in 2014, despite the sequel becoming the highest-grossing animated film ever, despite Olaf still being the best, Frozen 2 was shut out from Best Animated Feature. Our long national nightmare continues, as the Academy's music branch has once again snubbed the queen in Best Original Song, this time for The Lion King's "Spirit."
