OSCARS 2014

The 86th Academy Awards ceremony, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), will honor the actors, technical achievements, and films of 2013 and will take place March 2, 2014, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles. The ceremony is scheduled one week later than usual to avoid conflict with the broadcast of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.[4] During the ceremony, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will present Academy Awards of Merit (commonly referred to as Oscars) in 24 categories. The ceremony will be televised in the United States by ABC, produced by Neil Meron and Craig Zadan, and directed by Hamish Hamilton. Comedian and actress Ellen DeGeneres will host the show for the second time. DeGeneres previously hosted the 79th ceremony in 2007.[5][6]
The nominees for the 86th Academy Awards were announced on January 16, 2014, at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, California, by Cheryl Boone Isaacs, president of the Academy, and actor Chris Hemsworth.[7] American Hustle and Gravity tied for the most nominations with ten each.[8][9]

Ceremony information[edit]

Box office performance of nominated films[edit]
At the time of the Academy Award nomination announcement on January 16, 2014, the combined gross of the nine Best Picture nominees at the American and Canadian box offices was $645 million, with an average of $72 million per film.[24]
Only one of the nine Best Picture nominees was among the top ten releases in box office receipts when the Academy revealed the nominations.[25] Gravity was the highest-grossing film among the Best Picture nominees. Captain Phillips was the second-highest-grossing film with $105.5 million; this was followed by American Hustle ($105.4 million), The Wolf of Wall Street ($80.7 million), 12 Years a Slave ($39 million), Philomena ($22.3 million), Dallas Buyers Club ($16.8 million), Her ($9.9 million), and Nebraska ($8.5 million).[26]
Of the top 50 grossing movies of the year, 47 nominations went to 14 films on the list. Only Frozen (3rd), Despicable Me 2 (4th), Gravity (7th), The Croods (14th) Captain Phillips (29th), American Hustle (30th), and The Wolf of Wall Street (42nd) were nominated for Best Picture, Best Animated Feature, or any of the directing, acting, or screenwriting awards.[25] The other top 50 box office hits that earned nominations were Iron Man 3 (2nd), The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (8th), Star Trek Into Darkness (11th), Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa (31st), The Lone Ranger (38th), and Saving Mr. Banks (49th).[25][27]
Fruitvale Station Controversy[edit]
The Academy received substantially negative feedback from critics and audiences for having not nominated Fruitvale Station, based on the events leading to the shooting death of Oscar Grant by a BART police officer in 2009, for a single award.[28][29] The film's appearance on several prominent critics' top ten lists of the best films of 2013[30] and numerous awards accolades has attracted particular attention to its lack of nominations.
Best Song controversy[edit]
The Academy revoked the Best Original Song nomination for Alone Yet Not Alone's title song after determining that composer Bruce Broughton violated the Academy's promotional regulations. Broughton, a former Academy governor and member of the music branch's executive committee, had emailed other music branch members to inform them of his submission.[11] The 65th Academy Awards had previously disqualified the nomination for A Place in the World for Best Foreign Language Film.
