The American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) have joined the Oscars move and have pushed their 35th awards to April 18, 2021, just one week before the 93rd Academy Awards themselves.
The org announced Wednesday that the ceremony will be livestreamed from the ASC Clubhouse in Hollywood (instead of in the Roy Dolby Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland like last year), with possible plans for a simultaneous in-person element.
While the film eligibility period and deadline has moved to align with the Oscars (February 28), the ASC has opened submissions on four TV categories this week: Episode of a One-Hour Television Series – Commercial, Episode of a One-Hour Television Series – Non-Commercial, Episode of a Half-Hour Television Series and Motion Picture, Limited Series, or Pilot Made for TV. To qualify, shows must now have a U.S. premiere date between October 1, 2019, and December 31, 2020. The entry deadline is January 8.
