Political Pressure

Oscar dates for 2009 were announced-earlier today...

The nominations will be read on Jan. 22, a Thursday-2 days later than usual to accommodate the inauguration of the 44th President of the United States.

"It didn't make any sense for us to try to compete with [the inauguration] from a news point of view," Academy Executive Administrator Ric Robertson told the Associated Press.

The 81st annual Academy Awards are scheduled to be handed out 4 weeks later on Feb. 22.



Given our choices this election cycle between Hillary Clinton, Obama, and John McCain--I'd almost rather vote for Oscar as the next Commander In Chief anyway.
