The 2021 Screen Actors Guild Awards have officially been delayed because of coronavirus.

The glamourous awards night which is usually full of A-list celebrities will no longer take place on its original date of 24 January, 2021.

Instead it’s been pushed back to Sunday 14 March, as a result of the disease.

The hope is that it will be safe to gather in crowds by then.

It’s not the only awards ceremony date that’s been changed.

The upcoming 93rd Academy Awards night was due to fall sometime between January and February of next year.

But the bash has been booked in for Sunday, 25 April instead.

It means eligibility requirements for the awards have been extended by two months.

It feels like a lifetime ago that we enjoyed 2020’s SAG awards back in January.

So much has happened in the world since then, but casting our mind back to that night only makes us excited for the next one.

It was the night fans went wild for Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston over that reunion – while the Ocean’s Eleven actor was spotted watching his ex wife’s acceptance speech backstage.

1917, Joker, Parasite, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Avengers: Endgame and Marriage Story were among the winners on the night.

Oh and Bradley Cooper turned up with his mum Gloria. Best thing ever.
