I thought I would pass along the news that the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences (the official name of for the organization that runs the Oscars), is starting a countdown to the Oscars tomorrow. This year will be the 83rd edition of the annual awards show, and tomorrow will mark 83 days until the show's premiers, so in honor of this year's show, the Academy is going to post some photos and interesting trivia about each year, from the beginning in 1927 until last year's 2009 show. If you don't know much about Oscar history, it sounds like a fun way to learn. I will definitely be checking it out myself, so maybe I will post an update giving you my opinion on it sometime. In the meantime, here is the official press release from the Academy.
On December 7 (tomorrow!), we will be 83 days away from the 83rd Academy Awards. Beginning tomorrow, we will be counting down to the February 27 ceremony by revisiting all of the Academy Awards ceremonies that have come before. You’re invited to visit Oscars.org on December 7 – and every day thereafter – to experience highlights from throughout the history of one of the world’s most anticipated annual events. We’ll be showcasing photos, audio clips, video segments and interesting facts (from the year’s awards winners and ceremony, as well as around the world in general) and all of the content featured will be shareable.
We hope you’ll spend a few minutes each day venturing back in time as we continue on our journey forward to the 83rd Oscars. You can sign up for our RSS feed of the Countdown, follow us on Facebook (Facebook.com/The Academy) or Twitter (twitter.com/TheAcademy), or just check oscars.org each day.
