At the gala the Romanian producers appealed to the authorities and especially the Ministry of Economy, Energy and Business Environment to urgently re-launch the cash rebate scheme, which was halted in November 2019. The Ministry of Economy, Energy and Business Environment was supposed to take over the management of the cash rebate scheme from the National Commission for Prognosis by February 2020, but the take-over was delayed by the pandemic and then sidelined.

Gopo Awards were organised by Romanian Film Promotion together with Asociația Film si Cultură Urbană (AFCU) with the support of the Romanian Film Centre, the National Theatre Bucharest and Babel Communications, and in partnership with the Bucharest City Hall through ArcuB.
