Other events
The 87th ceremony of Oscars ( english 87th Academy Awards ) took place on 22 February 2015 Dolby Theater in Los Angeles instead. This made it, along with the 2009 Academy Awards, the earliest Academy Awards held in a year.
As in the previous year, American film, television and theater producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron were responsible for the production of the 87th Academy Awards . The award ceremony was hosted for the first time by actor Neil Patrick Harris , who previously hosted the Tony Awards four times (2009, 2011-2013) and twice the Emmy Awards (2009, 2013).
The nominations were announced on January 15, 2015 by Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs, directors J. J. Abrams and Alfonso Cuarón, and actor Chris Pine . It was the first time that all nominations for the 24 categories were announced during the event.
During the live broadcast in Germany on ProSieben , there was a technical glitch, which meant that viewers missed the award of the Oscars for the best supporting actor.
