Just like that, another year has gone by, and now we are back to one of the most prestigious events in the entertainment industry –The 84th Annual Academy Awards. Watch as some of the brightest stars come together in one magical night, and feast your eyes on what the event has to offer.
The 84th Academy Awards ceremony, which is organized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), is a yearly event made to honor the best films of the previous year. The awards night is scheduled on February 26, 2012 , at 4:00 p.m. PST, at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, California. The event will be televised live in the United States via the ABC. The nominees for the Academy Awards were announced by AMPAS last January 24, 2012 at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater by Tom Ampas and Oscar-nominated actress Jennifer Lawrence.
Initially, the Oscar Awards is to be hosted by comedian and actor Eddie Murphy, being hired by the event producer, Brett Ratner. However, Ratner was forced to resign after uttering gay slur during rehearsals. Concurrently, Murphy stepped down as well. As a result, the organizers of the event decided to hire Brian Grazer as its producer and Billy Crystal as the new host. Halle Berry, Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz, and Bradley Cooper are just some of the stars that has been confirmed to be the presenters of the awards.
The movie Hugo topped the list of nominees with a total of eleven nominations, followed closely by The Artist with a total of ten. Moneyball and War Horse placed third with six nominations apiece. There are other movies and categories ta watch for, each category meant to honor the best in their respective fields. Who these titles and names are remains to be seen, but if there is any indication, the 84th Academy Awards will be a night that will not be forgotten – until next year’s awards, that is.
For now, let’s just enjoy this year’s show.
