The 84th Academy Awards 2012 | Oscar Awards 2012

The month of February is the month of hearts and it's a month of stars as well! Well, as for this year, it is. Do you know why? It's the 84th Academy Awards, which will be hosted by AMPAs or the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences! The event will take place this coming 26th of this month and it's going to be held at Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, CA! Thousands will witness the event live, for sure, and millions more will watch it over ABC in the whole of the U.S. and the world! Last month, the nominations were announced by AMPAS. This coming 26th of February, let us see who will come out as winners.



Supposedly, it was Eddie Murphy who will be slated as the emcee. However,he turned down the offer after Brett Ratner resigned as producer of the said show after utilizing a gay slur while he was talking regarding the rehearsals. But, another comedian will take place of Murphy and it's Billy Crystal, who is equally good in handling an emcee's duties and a good comedian as well. Actually, this will the be the 9th time that Crystal will host the show.

One of the most distingishable features that will take place during the event is the multiple-stage nomination process. This will take place during the presentation of such awards as Best Makeup, Best Foreign Language Film and Best Visual Effects. Specific Academy branches choose pre-nominees and then, basing on that list, final nominees will be chosen. For instance, seven Best Visual Effects pre-nominees will be narrowed down to three final nominees. From there, the whole AMPAS membership will choose the winner.
