2014 Oscars Postponed Until March

March 28, 2013 By 13 Comments

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has just announced that next year’s Oscars will be pushed back to March 2, 2014.

The reason for the postponement of the show is due to the Winter Olympics that will be rolling around next year. The Oscars are normally held in February each year, except every four years when the Olympics interfere.

The Oscars were held on February 24th this year by comedian Seth MacFarlane. Rumors are already surfacing that Justin Timberlake will be gearing up in his “suit and tie” to host the Awards next year.

It’s Just, “The Oscars”

February 21, 2013 By 58 Comments

The Academy Awards are turning 85 this year, and that means it’s time to change things up a bit at The Academy.

The AMPAS told The Wrap that, “We’re re-branding. We’re not calling it ‘the 85th annual Academy Awards,’ which keeps it mired somewhat in a musty way. It’s called ‘The Oscars.’”

Most of the advertisements for this year’s show focus on host Seth MacFarlane and the word “Oscars.”

I think we can all agree that “The 85th Academy Awards” sounds a little dated for today’s society. Academy members reinforced that although “Academy Awards” has been retired for this year, it is possible that it will reappear in the near future.
