INDIA, March 27 -- Hollywood's glitzy film awards are scrambling to deal with the unprecedented impact of the coronavirus on the industry, with the Golden Globes first to relax their entry rules Thursday.

Most awards shows from the Globes to the Oscars require that movies must be shown in Los Angeles theaters for a minimum period to be considered. But with even private screening rooms shuttered indefinitely across the entertainment capital -- and much of the world -- that appears to be changing.

Films that had planned "a bona fide theatrical release" between the start of the outbreak and the end of April will be permitted at the Globes, even if the release was scrapped, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association said Thursday.
