The 2012 Academy Awards will be presented on Sunday, February 26, 2012, Academy President Tom Sherak has announced. That means the awards-season calendar will remain the same next year.
Last year, there were rumors that the Academy’s Board of Governors was considering moving up the date of the Oscar ceremony to early February or even late January. Whether or not they’re still debating the idea, that move won’t happen in 2012.
The Oscar 2012 ceremony, the 84th Academy Awards night, will once again take place at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center in Hollywood. In the United States, the Oscarcast will be televised live by ABC. A 90-minute red carpet show will precede the ceremony broadcast.
