As the summer solstice approaches, on June 21, it’s not too soon to start fretting about the earliest-ever Academy Awards ceremony, set for Feb. 9 of next year. Granted, the Oscars were handed out in seemingly earlier November of 1930, 1931 and 1932. But the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences qualified films on a fiscal year back then. So the gap between what used to be a July 31 close of eligibility and the late fall ceremony was well over three months, considerably more than the five or six weeks that will separate next year’s ceremony, the 92nd, from the season’s final releases.
The tight schedule has already made things feel a bit, well, accelerated. Almost two weeks ago, just after Memorial Day, the Academy named the recipients of its honorary Oscars—Geena Davis, David Lynch, Wes Studi and Lina Wertmuller—to be presented at a Governors Awards dinner on Oct.
