The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences established Global Movie Day, a day for film fans around the world to celebrate their favorite movies and engage with Academy members and filmmakers across social media. The inaugural holiday was held last year (the day before the 92nd Oscars).

The second annual Global Movie Day was held on Saturday, February 13, 2021.
