According to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences website, nominations for the film industry's highest honor will be announced at 5:30 PT live from the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in California. The nominations announcement was switched from the traditional Tuesday morning to a Thursday morning to avoid a conflict with the 2009 Presidential Inauguration.
The annual Academy Awards ceremony will be held Feb. 22, 2009, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center in Hollywood, CA. ABC-TV will broadcast the event live.
