The 85th Academy Awards nominations will be announced live on Thursday, January 10, 2013, at 5:30 a.m. PST. This is highly unusual, as the nominations have been revealed on Tuesdays for as far back as I can remember.
The Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2012 will be presented on Sunday, February 24, 2013 and be broadcast on the ABC television Network. This year’s telecast will be hosted by Seth MacFarlane of Family Guy fame (and this year’s Oscar eligible film, Ted).
