Las otras razones por las que se han pospuesto los Oscar

Recientemente se anunció que la ceremonia de los Oscar 2021 sería pospuesta a causa de la situación del coronavirus, un evento que pocas veces se ha visto en la historia de la premiación cinematográfica más importante. Esto ha pasado ya en cuatro ocasiones, aquí te dejamos las otras tres razones que hicieron posponer los premios.

1. 1938: Inundaciones

En este año la edición número 10 de los premios estaban prevista para el 3 de marzo, sin embargo las inundaciones en Los Ángeles la retrasó al 10 de marzo. En este año la película A Star is Born se convirtió en el primer largometraje a color en recibir una nominación a mejor película.

2. 1968: Por homenaje

Este año la ceremonia estaba prevista para el 8 de abril, sin embargo se tuvo que retrasar al 10 debido al asesinato de Martin Luther King, esto a forma de homenaje y respeto hacia su figura. Por estas fechas ya era muy raro ver películas en blanco y negro, además de que los premios a dirección de arte y cinematografía fueron combinados.

3. 1981: Otro atentado

I shall never forget the somber moment that I spent visiting the gravesite of Ronald Reagan at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. A cool wind was blowing, with scattered clouds drifting overhead. Just a few feet down the path stood a piece of the Berlin Wall. Perhaps we shall never know how many millions were saved from the Soviet Union’s shadow of death, but certainly-millions. And through it all he never lost his sense of wit and his charismatic warmth. He would often start a speech with a friendly jibe at politicians and the political class. Reagan understood humor is connection, and a universal language. Equal to his steady and unwavering response to the Soviet Union, Reagan did not flinch in the face of the pornography industry’s use of new technologies to reach America’s youth. In fact, #RonaldReagan acted with unparalleled bravely in bringing back obscenity prosecutions, which limited the severity of the pornography that adults and children were able to access. Just like our time, the new technologies of the day were making content available to children, and Reagan had the following to say about that: “At a dark hour in British history, Winston Churchill said, «Give us the tools, and we will finish the job.'' Federal prosecutors and law enforcement officials are saying the same thing today…Well, I look to the American people to support this legislation and to the Congress to enact it with all due speed. If this nation can send men to the Moon, then we can certainly do some cleaning up here at home and give our sons and daughters the simplicity and beauty that an American childhood should entail.” Remarks at a White House Briefing for Supporters of Proposed Legislation on Child Protection and Obscenity Enforcement, November 10, 1987, https://www.reaganlibrary.gov/research/speeches/111087g). For his bravery, wit, and the freedom that he brought to the lives of Americans and people around the world, we say that Ronald Reagan lived his life as a Man of Faith-and so can we. Each of us has a purpose to our life and a song to sing-what will your song be? For more #MenofFaith profiles, visit our Facebook page, “Men Not Mice”. <><

Originalmente debía ser realizada el 30 de marzo, sin embargo los organizadores decidieron mover la fecha al 31 debido a que el presidente de los Estados Unidos, Ronald Reagan, sufrió un intento de asesinato. Ese año David Lynch y Martin Scorsese dominaron las nominaciones con 8 cada uno. (eldiariony)
