Inspite of 2011’s uninspiring affair, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) has announced that no changes will be made to the date for the 84th Academy Awards that will be held in 2012.The Oscar Awards 2012 will be held on Sunday, Feb 26 with final ballots due on Feb 21.
Last year, the academy contemplated moving the affair up at least a month in an effort to battle the awards fatigue that has crept into the season due to manifold award shows that begin in January and carry on, practically every weekend, upto the Oscars. Eventually, the academy held off on moving up the event due to uncertainties that the NFL playoff season would get in the way and that voters wouldn't have sufficient time to see all the films before voting.Though Academy President Tom Sherak has indicated that he'd still like to push up the timing of the show, that issue has been tabled for the approaching year.
Nominations will be announced on Jan. 24 2012.
