| Emma Stone and Oscar Host Seth MacFarlane |
Nominations for the 85th Academy Awards® will be announced by the show's
host, Seth MacFarlane, and actress Emma Stone tomorrow morning, Thursday, January 10.
This will be the first time since 1972 that an Oscar show host has
participated in the nominations announcement.
MacFarlane and Stone will unveil the nominations at a 5:30 a.m., PT (8:30 Eastern) news
conference at the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills,
where hundreds of media representatives from around the world will be
gathered.
Since the first nominations announcement in 1964, the Academy president
has been joined by one or more co-announcers at the event. This year the
Academy will break with tradition when MacFarlane, who was named Oscar
show host in October, joins Stone on Oscar nominations morning. Charlton
Heston (1972) was the only other show host to participate in the
nominations announcement.
Stone starred in the 2011 Best Picture nominee "The Help" and the summer
release "The Amazing Spider-Man." Other film credits include
"Superbad," "Zombieland," "Easy A" and "Crazy, Stupid, Love." In
addition she can be seen in "Gangster Squad" later this month, as well
as in "The Croods," due out in March.
Nominations information for all categories will be distributed to news
media in attendance and via the Internet on the official Academy Awards
website, www.oscar.com.
Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2012 will be
presented on Oscar Sunday, February 24, 2013, at the Dolby Theatre™ at
Hollywood & Highland Center®, and televised live on the ABC
Television Network. The Oscar presentation also will be televised live
in more than 225 countries worldwide.
