Oscar Wants In on March Madness 2014

That little guy everyone in Hollywood wants is moving back to March – at least in 2014.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced yesterday it has decided to hold its annual Oscars ceremony on March 2 next year, to better position the telecast due to the 2014 Winter Olympics, which come to a close on Feb. 23.

Conflict averted!

Another change? Voting for Academy Awards nominations will kick off on Dec. 27, which a full 10 days later than it was during the awards season that just was. Which means more time for voters to watch as many screeners as possible.

Come 2015, though, it’ll be February business as usual: The Academy already called dibs on that Feb. 22 for Hollywood’s biggest night.
