- Story Text: The Hollywood Foreign Press Association which hosts the Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles has changed the rules to the way films are eligible for selection for the 2021 awards season.
In a statement released on their website on Thursday (March 26), the HFPA said it had temporarily amended rules for eligibility for those films set for theatrical release from March 15 to April 30, 2020. Films that had subsequently been released on streaming platforms can now be included in consideration for nominations too.
The statement went on to say: "The HFPA will continue to access the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on motion picture and television distribution and exhibition and may extend these suspensions of the Golden Globe award rules and/or may make other temporary variations to those rules as it considers appropriate in the future."
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are set to host the 2021 awards but the date for the ceremony is yet to be announced.
