“The ceremony will take place at the Hollywood & Highland Center in Hollywood, and will be televised live by the ABC Television Network to more than 225 countries,” it said in a statement.

French-directed silent movie “The Artist” was crowned Best Picture at this year’s show on February 26, one of five statuettes won by the black-and-white film.

Veteran director Martin Scorsese’s lavish 3D adventure “Hugo” also won five Oscars, although none of them in the headline actor or director categories.
