    In 2009, the last Sunday in February is February 22. Normally, that would mean the Oscar nominees would have been announced on January 20. However, since January 20, 2009 is Inauguration Day, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences delayed announcing the nominees by two days.USA Today: Pushed Back by Inauguration (April 14, 2008)

    • "We have to look at other major global events. It didn't make any sense for us to try to compete with (the inauguration) from a news point of view. I know that whoever produces the show would like to have more time and this will be two days less than they've had in past years."—Ric Robertson, Executive Administrator, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and SciencesUSA Today: Pushed Back by Inauguration (April 14, 2008)
