The 85th Academy Awards Dates

Nominations for the 85th Academy Awards will be announced on January 15, 2013, and the ceremony will be on Sun. February 24. This means there is another week between nominations and the ceremony, giving more time for voting. This is a smart move, as ever since they moved the ceremony up a month, it has become more and more predictable. Although it is 8 days, it could have an effect on the eventual winners.
