Date set for 2013 Oscars

LOS ANGELES (AFP) ― The annual Academy Awards will be held on Sunday, Feb. 24 next year, Oscars organizers said Wednesday, two and a half weeks after this year’s show.

Nominations for those shortlisted for prizes on Hollywood’s biggest night will be unveiled on Tuesday, Jan. 15, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said.

“The ceremony will take place at the Hollywood & Highland Center in Hollywood, and will be televised live by the ABC Television Network to more than 225 countries,” it said in a statement.

The name of the glittering show’s venue ― the Kodak Theatre, in the heart of Hollywood ― was changed at the last minute this year after the bankrupt photo company negotiated an end to its sponsorship deal.

It is unclear if the name will change by next February, or remain the Hollywood and Highland Center, the entertainment-and-shopping complex which includes the Oscars venue, currently used by dance troupe Cirque du Soleil.
