The Oscars will take place on March 2, when the stars will gather at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles to present the Academy Awards for the 97th time. This year, Conan O'Brien will serve as the host.
Even though the dates have been set, there could still be changes at short notice due to the ongoing forest fires in California. Updates will likely be announced as necessary.
