Like the Oscars, the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) have also been postponed to April 11, 2021. It was due to take place on February 14, 2021.
The Baftas traditionally take place two weeks ahead of the Academy Awards.
The pandemic has already halted work on a number of films that were due to be released by the end of the year. And like the Oscars, Bafta has also changed its eligibility criteria.
Films that had an official release date that fell during the lockdown period will now still be eligible if they choose to debut on video-on-demand services.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many events around the world to be cancelled or postponed.
Among the most prominent events to be affected was the 2020 Summer Olympics which has been postponed to 2021 and the Eurovision Song Contest 2020, which was cancelled entirely.
A number of events have also been modified to remove a live audience or to be purely held over teleconference.
