The 2021 Oscars have been rescheduled for the first time since a 1981 assassination attempt against President Ronald Reagan because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the delay on Monday and said the awards night would move from Feb. 28 to April 25, marking the first postponement in 40 years. Academy President David Rubin and Academy CEO Dawn Hudson noted the effect the pandemic has had on the industry in a joint press release.
