The ceremonies honoring 1989 achievements in motion pictures will be held on Monday, March 26, 1990. Kahn, in announcing the decision, noted that the Academy has been quite please with the Shrine civic Auditorium, from which the Os cars have been broadcast for the past two years. "The Shrine Auditorium allowed the Academy to do some new and special things with the 60th and 61st Academy Awards telecasts," Kahn said. "At the same time we've always had a good relationship with the people at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, and we've done nineteen very handsome shows from that venue. The Board's feeling at the moment is that we now have two very nice "homes" for the show, each with its own special virtues. I'd expect to see us using them both in future years." The 62nd Annual Academy Awards Presentation will be broadcast live by the ABC Television Network, beginning at 6:00 p.m. (PST). # # # # .
