Los Angeles, Jun 22 (EFE News) .- The Golden Globes, the awards presented annually by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), will be postponed until February 28, 2021 for the coronavirus.
The gala will be held almost two months later than usual, traditionally organized in the first week of January, but it was one of the few awards ceremonies next year that had not yet altered its dates after the Oscars, BAFTA and Spirit to the cinema. Independent.

"To accommodate national and international film and television productions, the HFPA will provide further guidance on eligibility, the voting period and the revised schedule of nomination announcements in the coming weeks," the organization said in a statement.
For the moment, the movement of dates has not been accompanied by new criteria or changes in the regulations, as the Hollywood Academy did with the Oscars.
With the new awards calendar, specialized Hollywood media point out that this year the result of the Golden Globes could influence the voting of the Oscars, since they will not start until March 5, a week after the first ceremony.
NO DETAILS ABOUT THE GALA FORMAT
The HFPA also has not provided further details on what the format of the gala will be, which maintains Tina Fey and Amy Poehler as presenters.
These two comedians know perfectly well what it is to present the Golden Globes, since they were the masters of ceremonies for these awards on three occasions: from 2013 to 2015.
Fey and Poehler, who received excellent reviews for their work at the helm of the Golden Globes, will thus take over from Ricky Gervais, also very popular in his role as host with a hooligan style and very acid humor.
Although before it would be necessary to know what the format of the first ceremony of the season will be, the Emmy television companies, which maintains its date of September 20 and in the absence of three months have not announced how they want to celebrate the highlights of television beyond that its presenter will be Jimmy Kimmel.
CHANGES IN THE FILM REGULATION
By rewarding the best works in film and television, the changes that the Golden Globes will have to make to their regulations will not be as drastic as the Oscars, since on television the pandemic has barely altered the premiere circuit.
But in the case of movies, the closure of theaters worldwide and the cancellation or delay of major releases will force a rethink of the calendar.
