Warner Bros. is radically changing up its distribution strategy for 2021, releasing all 17 of its movies for the year in theaters and on HBO Max simultaneously.

Just as “Wonder Woman 1984” will be released on Christmas Day both in theaters and on HBO Max, Warner Bros.’ entire 2021 slate will play on the WarnerMedia streaming service and theatrically worldwide. However, every film will be available for just one month on HBO Max before it leaves the platform, and it will then continue playing theaters with normal distribution windows.

I'm not 100% sure. But as someone who keeps up with the billboard charts every week (via watching billboard chart countdowns on YouTube), it's easy for me to make a accurate educated guess who's gonna win each category. So yes I've always preferred the BBMA over the Grammys.

@ColiBreh1 ESPN content is a joke these days for the most part. Still it seems that job was in Rachel's contract so she is right to be mad about it...and I assumed she said something worse then "Diversity Hire" but it doesn't seem she even called Maria Taylor even a Bitch much less a Jezebel or something worse lol.

ANd I don't think her is wrong that ESPN probably wanted a Black WOman on the cast because of BLM and are a boys club with limited slots for chicks.
