We might have to wait a little longer to find out who’s in the envelopes next year.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is considering pushing back the 2021 Oscars, according to Variety.

“It’s likely they’ll be postponed,” a source told the industry pub. However, the insider added that there has been no formal proposal to delay the show yet, and that the ceremony is still set to air Feb. 28 on ABC.

The academy recently changed its eligibility rules, temporarily, to allow streaming-only films to compete at the 93rd annual telecast due to the coronavirus pandemic, which has halted the release of many films.

While that shift would provide for plenty of nominees, it would do nothing to ensure a glamorous red carpet full of photographers and in-your-face interviews, or a packed house at the 3,400-seat Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
