The 85th Academy Awards presentation is coming close, scheduled for Sunday, February 24, 2013. Seth MacFarlane and Emma Stone announced Oscar nominations for the 2013 Academy Awards on Thursday morning, five days earlier than expected, and a Thursday instead of the customary Tuesday. This move also puts the nomination announcement ahead of the Golden Globe ceremony on Jan. 13.
According to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences´ official press release:
“In an effort to provide members and the public a longer period of time to see the nominated films, the Academy will reveal the 85th Academy Awards nominations on January 10, five days earlier than previously announced.”
The Oscars are voted on by members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, a group of some 6,000 working professionals in cinema. This will also be the first year Academy members will have the option of voting electronically.
