During its board of governors meeting on April 28, 2020, the Academy voted to consolidate the Best Sound Mixing and Best Sound Editing category into a single Best Sound category (thereby reducing the total number of categories to 23). The Sound branch had been raising concerns that the two categories had too much overlap in scope.
The Academy cancelled its annual Governors Awards ceremony due to the COVID-19 pandemic and has planned to incorporate the winners into the Oscar ceremony. This is the first year of the Governors Awards in which there have not been any official winners of the Academy Honorary Award.
The Academy announced in June 2020 that it was postponing the ceremony from its originally scheduled date of February 28, 2021, to April 25 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The eligibility criteria had already been modified to account for films originally intended to have a theatrical release but which were ultimately released directly to video. This is the fourth time that the Academy Awards have been postponed, and the first time since the 6th Academy Awards that films released in two different calendar years will be eligible for award consideration in the same ceremony.
