2020 Cosmo schedule announced

COVID-19 has thrown off the entire movie industry, and the movie awards industry has similarly been affected.

We previously announced changed that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has made to the 2021 Oscars, including allowing some streaming films that bypassed theaters entirely. Another change was extending the eligibility year through February 28, 2021, instead of strictly following the calendar year.

The Cosmique Movie Awards will follow the Academy’s eligibility requirements to avoid confusion and to allow Cosmo voters to react with and against the Oscars. We will release official eligibility lists closer to the time to vote.
