Catch the live Oscar nominations announcement on M-Net Movies Premiere

It’s Oscar nomination time and no-one’s prepared to bring us the reality show about what the nominees say to their friends, agents and families after they hear they’ve been nominated. Do their minds immediately turn to the competition? Do they believe they’ll win? How does it test their confidence? Do other people start treating them differently?

As all 24 Oscar nominations will be unveiled on live TV for the first time, M-Net decided to instantly step up to the plate as well, to not only bring this TV event to South African viewers as well but to do so as a live broadcast as well on M-Net Movies Premiere (DStv 103) on MultiChoice’s DStv satellite pay-TV platform.

On Thursday 15 January the live Oscar category contenders will be announced in Hollywood and M-Net will broadcast the feed live on M-Net Movies Premiere at 2:30pm WAT.

JJ Abrams, Chris Pine, Alfonso Cuaron and Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs will preside over the live announcement of the 87th Academy Award nominations which will all be revealed at once for the first time on live television in a two-part live news conference at the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre in Beverly Hills.

M-Net will broadcast the 87th Academy Awards live and in High Definition on 23 February on M-Net Movies Premiere (DStv 103).
