2014 Oscars to Celebrate Movie Heroes

Oscar producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron provided a sneak peek at what movie fans can expect from the 86th Academy Awards. Ellen DeGeneres will host Hollywood’s most important night of the year and the show will include a celebration of movie heroes. Per the Academy’s official announcement, the 2014 Oscars will “honor big-screen real-life heroes, super heroes, popular heroes and animated heroes, both past and present, as well as the bold filmmakers who bring them to life.”
 
“We wanted to unify the show with an entertaining and emotional theme,” stated Zadan and Meron. “People around the world go to the movies to be inspired by the characters they see on the screen. By celebrating the gamut of heroes who have enriched our movie-going experience, we hope to create an evening of fun and joy. And that includes the filmmakers and actors who take risks and stimulate us with provocative subjects and daring characters. They are all heroes in the cinematic landscape.”
 
“Of course, there will be no shortage of comedy with Ellen DeGeneres as our host,” the producers added. “There may also be a few musical surprises along the way.”
 
The Academy will also be offering a “The Oscars Celebrates Movie Heroes” exhibition at its headquarters in Beverly Hills.
 
Nominations will be announced on January 16, 2014 at 5:35am PT by Chris Hemsworth and the Academy’s Cheryl Boone Isaacs. The Oscars will air live on ABC on Sunday, March 2nd.
