Andrew Eccles/ABCExcited about the Oscars? Have some infographs! Manon de Reeper February 24, 2014 Features, infographics 1 Comment It’s less than a week to go for the big event of the Academy Awards! On March 2, the 86th Academy Awards will take place, presented by Ellen DeGeneres. The event usually takes place a week earlier, but was scheduled a week later to prevent broadcasting conflicts with the 2014 Winter Olympics. Now that the Olympics are truly over, we can finally focus all of our attention on the Oscars. Although, admittedly, many have already been speculating about this year’s Oscars for months. I’m super excited about the Oscars myself – it’s the first time I’ll be able to watch them, as I’m in a different time zone now. Where before I was in Europe and the Oscars always took place in the middle of the night for me, here in (Western) Australia, they’ll start at around 6 or 7 in the morning and since I already get up around that time anyway, AND it’s a public holiday here on March 3 (Labour Day), I’ll have all the time of the world to fire up the laptop, hook it to the TV and watch the Oscars in all its glory, LIVE. Whoop! Anyway, I found some pretty cool Academy Awards infographs around the webs. To view them in full size, right click on the picture and open it in a new tab or screen. source: Empire Online OSCARS INFOGRAPHIC from Delayed Gratification Click here for zoomable version. source: Huffington Post source: Huffington Post source: TechInfographics.com source: Diane Panosian – Studio System News Will you be watching the Oscars live broadcast this year?
