Oscars to return to Hollywood & Highland Feb. 24
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The 85th Academy Awards have been set for Feb. 24, 2013, and they’ll take place once again at the Hollywood & Highland Center.
The venue, formerly known as the Kodak Theatre, opened in 2001 to be the permanent home of the Hollywood’s biggest awards ceremony. Eastman Kodak Co. filed for bankruptcy protection and dropped its name from the event just before this year’s Oscars were handed out.

Academy Award nominations are set for Jan. 15, 2013.
