As the 2021 Golden Globes draw to a close, thoughts turn to the next big award event of the season: The Oscars.

Last year’s ceremony saw Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite sweep the board, becoming the first non-English language film to take the prize for Best Picture.

Renee Zellweger won Best Actress for playing Judy Garland in Judy, while Joaquin Phoenix was named Best Actor for Joker.

But when will nominations for the 2021 Oscars be released?

Here’s everything you need to know.

When will the nominations for the 2021 Oscars be announced?

The nominations for the 2021 Oscars are due to be announced on 15 March 2021.

Shortlists for nine Oscar categories were unveiled by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Ampas) in February, an intermediary stage in the awarding process.

These categories include Best International Film, Best Documentary and Best Song.

Nomination voting in these categories will take place between 5 and 10 March. This will be followed by the annual Oscars Nominees Luncheon on 15 April, when the final shortlist is set to be announced.

Which films are tipped to win Best Picture?

After scooping awards for Best Picture and Best Director at February’s Golden Globe awards, Chloé Zhao’s Nomadland is tipped to follow suit at the 2021 Oscars.

Also in contention for the top prize are Aaron Sorkin’s The Trial of the Chicago 7, Lee Isaac Chung’s Minari, Emerald Fennell’s Promising Young Woman, David Fincher’s Mank and Regina King’s One Night in Miami.

How can I watch the announcement for the 2021 Oscars?

The Oscar nominations will be streamed live on the Oscars YouTube channel on Monday 15 March at 1.30pm (UK time).

When will the 2021 Oscars take place?

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 93rd Academy Awards has been rescheduled from 28 February to 25 April 2021.

The date change will mean a temporary change to the Oscar’s eligibility criteria, with the 31 December deadline extended to 28 February. Films released up until that date will now qualify for recognition by the awarding body.

“For more than a century, movies have played an important role in comforting, inspiring and entertaining us during the darkest of times,” said Academy president David Rubin and Academy CEO Dawn Hudson in a joint statement.

“They certainly have this year. Our hope, in extending the eligibility period and our awards date, is to provide the flexibility filmmakers need to finish and release their films without being penalised for something beyond anyone’s control.”

Where will the 2021 Oscars take place?

The 2021 Oscars ceremony will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

How can I watch the 2021 Oscars ceremony?

In the UK, Sky Cinema usually broadcast the event, beginning with red carpet coverage, followed by the awards ceremony in full.

If you’re not a Sky customer, you can access Sky’s coverage through Now TV.

If you’re not a Now TV subscriber, you can get a seven-day free trial for its Sky Cinema pass, which is usually £11.99 per month.

What time will the 2021 Oscars start?

In the UK, coverage of the 2021 Oscars is due to begin at 1am on Monday 26 April (8pm Eastern Time), so if you’re staying up to watch the event live, make sure you’ve got a strong coffee to hand.
