Geocache Description:


THE 84th ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARDS (2012)

The cache is not located at the above listed coordinates. You must first figure out the REAL coordinates to “The 84th Annual Academy Awards (2012)”. Please be aware of our slithery friends and watch for muggles. We understand most will not walk but park and grab so please use caution when stopping along the roads. We have placed most where parking is easily available. Oh and practice C.I.T.O. if you can.

The 84th Academy Awards ceremony, hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), will honor the best films of 2011. The ceremony will take place on February 26, 2012 (4:00 p.m. PST, 7:00 p.m. EST), at the Hollywood & Highland Center in Hollywood, California; it will be televised live in the United States on ABC. Nominations for the Academy Awards were announced by AMPAS on January 24, 2012.

Billy Crystal will host the ceremony, while Brian Grazer will produce it. This will be Crystal's ninth time serving as host for the Academy Awards. The ceremony was originally scheduled to be hosted by Eddie Murphy. However, after Brett Ratner resigned as producer after using a gay slur when talking about rehearsals, Murphy also stepped down.
