Dates Now Set for 2009 Oscars
The dates for the 2009 Oscars have been revealed today, and feature a slight shift from its regular time table. The Oscar nominations will be announced on Thursday, January 22, and the ceremony will be held on February 22. Traditionally the nominations are announced on a Tuesday, but due to the presidential inauguration on January 20, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences decided to push back the date.
Ballots for the 81st annual Academy Awards will go out on December 26, and will be due back by 5pm PT on January 12. Nominations will be revealed on January 22, and final ballots will be mailed out January 28. The final polls will close at 5pm PT on February 17.
The Nominees Luncheon will be held on February 2, and the Scientific and Technical Achievement Awards will occur on February 7. The Academy Awards will be held at the Kodak Theater on February 22, and will be broadcast live on ABC. Because the Academy Awards have also been pushed back, it is expected that the Razzies will also likely be pushed back. The Razzies celebrate the worst in showbiz, and traditionally announce their nominations one day before the Oscar nominees are revealed, and have their awards ceremony one day before the Oscars.
just a question, would it show on T.V. on Feb. 22?
Speaking of the Oscars, I call the red carpet shenanigans the “Million Ego March”. If the swelled heads fit…..
