Oscars 2024: Date Announced for 96th Academy Awards

The 96th Academy Awards (Oscars) will air on ABC on Sunday 10th March 2024.

The show will once again air live on ABC and will broadcast worldwide from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles to more than 200 territories.

The Academy set the submission deadline for general categories for the 2024 Oscars for Nov. 18, 2023. Preliminary voting for the shortlists will begin on Dec. 18 with the results announced on Dec. 21. The nominations voting period will run from Jan. 11-16, 2024, with the official nominations announcement on Jan. 23.

There will be four weeks between nominations and final voting, which begins on Feb. 22. The show will air live on ABC and in more than 200 territories worldwide from the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

Some other key dates added to the calendar include the general entry categories submission deadline on November 15, the Governors Awards on November 18, the Oscar shortlists announcement on December 21, and the Oscar nominations announcement on January 23, 2024.

Interestingly enough, although the newest Best Picture winner “Everything Everywhere All at Once” being a South by Southwest premiere has put a spotlight on the festival as a possible launchpad for other films vying for Oscars (for instance, Ben Affleck’s film “Air” was a 2023 SXSW premiere), the new date for the 96th Oscars once again overlaps with the Austin, Texas-based festival kicking off March 8, 2024. MarkMeets has reached out to a SXSW representative for comment.

While it is unclear who the producers and hosts of the show will be, the new leaders of the Academy, CEO Bill Kramer and President Janet Yang, have indicated interest in keeping on producers Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner and host Jimmy Kimmel, who did the respective jobs at this past Oscars without a hitch.

2024 Oscars nominations predictions in every category include “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Oppenheimer,” “Saltburn” and “The Color Purple.
