Dodjela je prvobitno bila zakazana za 28. februar, ali je pandemija Covid-19 poremetila i te planove, poput mnogih drugih u posljednjih godinu dana. Produkcija filmova je na čekanju, najnovija izdanja su odgođena. Emisije su prebačene na virtuelne ili hibridne formate sa ograničenom ili potpuno bez publike.
Pored pomijeranja datuma, Akademija je ublažila i pravila, pa je tako dozvoljeno bilo učešće svih filmova iz kalendarske 2020. godine, uz dodatak filmova koji su izašli sve do 28.2.2021. Takođe, prvi put je dozvoljeno učešće filmovima koji su samo prikazivani na streaming platformama.
Nominacije za Oskara predvodio je Netflixov film "Mank", sa 10 ponuda. Pored ovog, nominovan je i Netflixov "The Trial of Chicago 7", Amazonov "Sound of Metal" i film koji je prije dodjele Oskara dobio najviše nagrada, a prikazivan je na Diznijevom Hulu servisu, drama "Nomadland".
