There are only 48 weeks left until the 83rd Annual Academy Awards.
In its 2011 schedule, released Thursday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has slotted February 27 for its next Oscarcast.
The Oscars this year took place on the first Sunday in March to avoid going head-to-head with the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics, but next year's awards show will return to the last Sunday in February, a spot on the calendar that it has occupied since 2004. That effectively will shorten Hollywood's awards season by at least a week.
Academy Award nominations will be announced January 25.
The ceremony will once again take place at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood and be broadcast by ABC.
