Chris Pine, JJ Abrams To Help Announce Oscar Nominations

Oscar nominees in all 24 categories will hear their names announced live next week.

Academy Awards producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron said Friday they are launching a new tradition of revealing all Oscar contenders in a live news conference.

In past years, only the most popular categories were presented live, with the remainder announced in a news release.
