The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the ABC Television Network said Monday that the 93rd Academy Awards will now be held April 25, 2021, eight weeks later than origi nally planned because of the pandemic’s effects on the movie industry. The Academy’s Board of Governors also decided to extend the eligibility window beyond the calendar year to Feb. 28, 2021, for feature films, and delay the opening of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures from December until April 30,2021. “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 penalized for something beyond anyone’s control,” said Academy President David Rubin and Academy CEO Dawn Hudson in a joint statement. Karey Burke, the president of ABC Enter tainment, added: “We find ourselves in uncharted territory this year and will con tinue to work with our partners at the Acad emy to ensure next year’s show is a safe and celebratory event.” The 12th annual Governors Awards has also been canceled. The event, in which honorary Oscars are bestowed to previously announced recipients, is generally held in Los Angeles during the second week of November. The untelevised event is a major gathering for many of the year’s awards hopefuls. The film academy has been grappling with how to handle the pandemic’s near shutdown of the theatrical exhibition and film production and festival business since mid-March. With theaters shuttered, release dates pushed and major festivals like Cannes canceled, the academy in April made the unprecedented decision to allow films that did not have a theatrical run to be eligible for the awards — but only for one year. The Oscars ceremony date was the big lingering unknown, however. The organi zation’s leadership has acknowledged all along that the situation was fluid and that everything was on the table. Now, Oscars nominations will be announced on March 15 and the nominees luncheon will be on April 15. Still, many decisions need to be made. Academy leadership has not yet addressed the format of the show and whether it will be virtual or in-person. Further, the future eli gibility of films for the 94th Oscars and that show date will be announced later. Drake tops BET Awards nods; show to air on CBS for 1st time Drake is the leading nominee at the 2020 BET Awards, which will celebrate its 20th anniversary later this month. BET announced Monday that Drake is nominated for six honors, including video of the year and best male hip-hop artist. For both best collaboration and the viewer’s choice award, Drake is nominated twice thanks to the hits “No Guidance” with Chris Brown and “Life Is Good” with Future. The 2020 BET Awards will air live on June 28 across ViacomCBS networks, including CBS for the first time. The show, which will be a virtual celebration because of the coro navirus pandemic, will also air on BET and BET HER. Breakthrough rappers Megan Thee Stal lion and Roddy Ricch follow Drake with five nominations each. Megan Thee Stallion, who recently topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart with her Beyonce-assisted “Savage” remix, is nominated for video of the year, best female hip-hop artist, best collaboration, the viewer’s choice award and album of the year for “Fever.” Beyonce, Minaj, Brown, Lizzo and DaBaby earned four nominations each. Associated Press ABOUT US AND OUR VALUES The public has a right to know, and The Times is dedicated to that principle and the “continued enlightenment and freedom of the people of North Georgia,” as engraved outside our building. The pursuit of truth is a fundamental principle of journalism. But the truth is not always apparent or known immediately. A professional journalist’s role is to report as completely and impartially as possible verifiable facts so readers can, based on their own knowledge and experience, determine what they believe to be the truth. That is often an ongoing pursuit as journalists work to uncover stories and follow those stories wherever they lead, regardless of preconceived ideas. The news they report is separate from the opinions shared in the pages of The Times, which include those by its editorial board, columnists, political cartoonists and readers who submit letters to the editor. The presentation of both news and opinions is designed to educate, entertain and foster community conversation. Readers are encouraged to challenge and sharpen their perceptions based on that presentation. And we encourage readers to do the same for us, offering news tips, criticisms and questions.

She had been with her boyfriend for maybe two or so years by then. Our cousin witnessed the kiss and my sister asked her to please not say any thing to anyone because she was really upset and ashamed. She started therapy to deal with it, since it had been weigh ing terribly on her, but she still has not told her boyfriend. She thinks he will leave her. That cousin is now getting married and my sister is getting really anxious about attending the wedding with her boyfriend. She thinks our cousin may have told other family members and one of them could bring it up in front of her boyfriend. I want to help her feel less anxious and have promised to run interference, but she’s also thinking about emailing our cousin to make sure she hasn’t told anyone/no one will bring it up. Is that the right thing to do? — Telling The only way she will feel less anxious is if she gets out from under the weight of her secret, for good. Either she tells her boyfriend; breaks up with him and thereby renders the secret moot; or finds a way to release her self of the guilt and just accept what she did as the kind of stupid thing humans do and forgive herself for it. You, of course, are just a bystander, and I generally don’t advise bystanders because it’s not your problem to solve, but hearing how messed up your sister is about this — when there’s SUCH AN EASY AND OBVIOUS SOLUTION avail able to her and when the solution she has in mind is so epically terrible — has triggered all of my med dling impulses. Sorry for yelling. And OK, it’s not so much “easy” as straightforward. Anyway. If you want to pro mote your sister’s emotional well-being, then please urge her to tell her boyfriend what happened, if she’s not able to forgive herself, or break up or otherwise move on. If he dumps her for the kiss or for the coverup, then that’s still better than her walking around know ing she’s one blab away from having everything blow up. That’s just no way to live. Re: Telling: Secrets prevent intimacy. I was married for 20 years before I told my husband I had been raped as a teen. Until then, he didn’t really know who I was. Nothing ter rible happened, except that he knows all of me now (pretty scary!). — Told Told: Yes, yes, right. And I’m sorry, and I admire your cour age, and I’m glad your husband didn’t flinch.

A friendship commitment seems lighter than, say, own ing a pet, choosing a partner or becoming a parent, but it is still a commitment that changes your story. You’ll choose your friends very carefully. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Anyone can be impressed by museum curations and the ef forts of great artists. But what you do is more rare. You see uncommon beauty in com mon things — a gift that keeps giving. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s very hard to teach people who think they already know. This requires disruption and unlearning before the most el emental bedrock can be laid. Only try and teach the willing. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Would you rather be idolized and emulated, or ignored and left to your own devices? There is a great benefit and freedom to invisibility, but it’s best achieved by those who don’t want or need the atten tion. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It seems like a strange time to raise your price, up the stakes or ask for a promotion, and yet you’re due. Remind your self of how you provide value to your team, and think about how you’d like to be compen sated. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Just as planets orbit the sun and moths fly at the lightbulb, it is in the nature of humans to gather around a fire. Today that “fire” will come in the form of some incendiary topic. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). Often work does not come together in a straightforward way, so you appreciate days like today when the small pic ture reflects the big picture. The mountain is climbed one upward step at a time. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Be like the great entertainers. Meld your sense of what the audience wants with your own appetites and gifts. If you only give what they want, you’re pandering. If you only give what you want, there won’t be a deal. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Nothing provides an energy rush like adrenaline, and nothing brings out your adrenaline like other people’s expectations. You’ll be able to accomplish much more when there’s social pressure involved. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Ennui is like a solicitor ignoring all the neighborhood signs. When he comes knock ing at your door, don’t let him in. Don’t even go to the door. Find something creative to do and he’ll go away. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). In the mood for a risk, you’ll be testing your own limits. As your attitude tilts toward daredevil-ish, will you be en chanted or alarmed? Maybe a little of both, and that’s the point. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There are people who seem to make you feel bold and playful, although those quali ties are always inside you, just waiting for permission to emerge, when actually, they don’t really need it.
