The United States of America's biggest film Awards, the Academy Awards, which won trophies for director Bong Joon-ho and Youn Yuh-jung, announced their 2022 schedule.
The Academy of Film and Arts (AMPAS), which hosts the Academy Awards, officially announced on 27th (local time) that "the 94th Academy Awards will be held on March 27, 2022".
It was a month later than the original February 27, and traditionally the Academy Awards are held at the end of February, but it was held in April this year due to the influence of Corona 19. Next year, the Awards date also seems to have been influenced by the Awards this year, which delayed the influence and date of Corona 19.
In addition, the final release deadline for the work that can be nominated is advanced to the original, and the movie released from March 1 to December 31 this year will be eligible for the Awards next year. The first candidate (shortlist) announcement will be made on December 21 and the final candidate announcement will be made on February 8 next year.
The Academy, the United States of America's largest film award, awarded by the United States of America filmmakers and the Academy of Film Arts, has been awarded a total of 93 Awards since the first Awards were held in 1929. Especially in the past two years, the performances of Korean cinematographers at the Academy Awards have been remarkable. Director Bong Joon-ho won four trophies, including the major prize for his film "Psychiatry", and the director's award, and won the honor for the first time as a Korean cinematographer. This year, Youn Yuh-jung was the first Korean actor to receive the Best Supporting Actress Award for the film "Minari". There is a growing interest in the next year's Awards as well as the success of Korean movies and Korean cinematographers.
