For the previous edition, the academy made changes to the eligibility, extending it until February 28, 2021 in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The rule change had enabled movies such as The United States vs. Billie Holiday and Judas and the Black Messiah to be considered for the awards.

The academy also announced that for the 2022 Oscars, which is still impacted by the pandemic, eligibility requirements will be consistent with the addendums made for the 93rd awards season.

This will once again allow films, which were supposed to be released in theatres, but were instead released for on-demand home viewing, to become eligible for the awards.

The 94th Academy Awards will also return to the prestigious Dolby Theatre in Hollywood for ceremony.
