Hollywood had pre-existing knowledge of the Covid pandemic. How do I know? They held the 2020 ceremony several weeks earlier than its usual slot in late-February / early-March, for no reason at all. They announced the date of the ceremony in September 2019, well before Covid was officially known.

Submission Statement: There has never been an official explanation as to why the Oscars were held so much earlier in 2020 than usual. Of course, Covid didn't hit full-blown "pandemic" levels until March 13th, 2020. So if they held the Oscars in their usual slot, in early March, there would have been a chance that the whole thing would have had to be cancelled at the last minute.

Now here's the thing. The Academy always announces the date of the Oscars well in advance. For example, the date of the 2026 ceremony is already known (March 15th, 2026). For the 2020 ceremony, the date was announced back in September 2019. This is well, well before Covid had been officially "discovered" by scientists in Wuhan, China.

So what do you think? Is this proof that Hollywood knew about Covid-19 before it was officially, publicly known? What else might Hollywood know about, but is hiding from us?
