2014 Oscars ceremony set for March

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced that the 2014 Oscars ceremony will take place in March.

The ceremony, which usually takes place in late February,  has been pushed back to avoid conflict with the 2014 Winter Olympics.

Several other award shows have also switched dates to avoid competition with the universal sporting event, including the SAG awards.

The 2014 Oscars ceremony will be televised by ABC in its' usual home, The Dolby Theater, on March 2.
