The 96th Oscars will take place on Sunday, March 10, 2024, which is right in line with year’s show which aired on Sunday March 12. Jimmy Kimmel hosted for a third time.
The 2024 show will air again live on ABC from the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood. That has been the Oscars’ home in all but one year since 2002. (The pandemic forced a move to Union Station in Los Angeles two years ago.)
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences also announced key dates for the 2023 Oscar season. The Oscars are giving their accountants more time to count the votes than they did in years past. Winners will be announced 12 days after final-round voting closes (rather than five days, as in the past). Nominations will be announced seven days after nominations-round voting closes (again, rather than five days).
