Date Set for Oscars

Crédit:

The 78th ceremony will take place on Sunday, March 5, 2006.  The date is a week later than normal in order to avoid a clash with the televised 2006 Winter Olympics.

In addition to the change in date, the ceremony will also kick off a half hour earlier than last year, starting now at 8:00.  The event will be held at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood.
