Oscars to start half hour earlier, may finally end before dawn

Hey, East-Coasters may actually be able to stay awake for Best Picture this year: the 90th Oscars will begin a half-hour earlier this year, starting at 8 p.m. out by the Atlantic Ocean instead of 8:30.

The 2018 Academy Awards will be held on Sunday, March 4 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. They’ll again be televised on ABC.

As previously announced, late-night talk show favorite Jimmy Kimmel will return to host, and Michael De Luca and Jennifer Todd will return to produce.
