In early March, The Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced that due to the pandemic, films can qualify for Golden Globes consideration even if they do not first screen in a theater. Instead, films may be "released first on a television format (e.g. subscription streaming service, subscription cable channel, broadcast television, etc.) and will still be eligible."
The HFPA described their "alternate screening procedure" as "temporary," saying it go into effect "March 15 until a date to be determined by HFPA when cinemas in the Los Angeles area have generally reopened."
The Golden Globes' delayed date comes amid the 93rd Academy Awards and BAFTA Film Awards pushing their dates and eligibility periods for feature films as the nation continues to grapple with the pandemic. The Oscars is being delayed from Feb. 28 to April 25. The eligibility for films — which began on Jan. 1, 2020, and was set to expire at the end of Dec. 31, 2020 — has been extended to Feb. 28, 2021.
Meanwhile, the BAFTA Film Awards will be held on Sunday, April 11, after originally being scheduled to take place on Feb. 13.
The Golden Globe Awards ceremony is produced by Dick Clark Productions, which shares a parent company with The Hollywood Reporter.
