Oscars Will Return Early Next Year
Apparently satisfied with the results of its decision to present the Oscar ceremonies in February this year rather than in March as in the past, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Wednesday that the 77th awards ceremony will be held on Feb. 27, 2005. The announcement was undoubtedly welcomed by ABC which will benefit from the fact that the popular broadcast -- it ranks second only to the Super Bowl in attracting an audience each year -- will once again air during the February sweeps. The Academy said that nominating ballots will go out on Dec. 27, 2004 and the nominations will be announced on Jan. 25, 2005.

More News!
Oh God. Finally, there's an actual press release on the film version of The Hobbit. Very exciting! BUT (and that's a big but)...it's not being directed by Peter Jackson. SAY WHAT?! It's still the same team of New Line Cinema production people who worked on LOTR, but still.....HUH?!
Anyway, the new website for The Hobbit is TheHobbitFilm.com, and it says there's going to be a special announcement on April 2nd... I'll be sure to check that out.
