The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has announced the dates for the next three Oscar ceremonies.

They are February 28th, 2016; February 26th, 2017 and March 4th, 2018.

All three dates are on Sundays.

This answers questions about whether the Oscars will return to Monday nights or shift its calendar dates to earlier in the year.

The announcement should also help other awards events set their own dates and venues.

All the Oscar ceremonies, as usual, will air live on ABC and in multiple countries around the world.
