There's no rest for the red carpet weary.

Just when Hollywood let out a collective exhale at the prospect of another awards season done, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has put itself back on everyone's radar, releasing its rundown of very important dates for next year's 83rd Annual Academy Awards.

As if the Oscars hadn't been getting enough press lately.

So mark your calendars for Feb. 27, 2011, when the A-list elite will once again congregate at the Kodak Theatre for their night of vaguely cursed nights (not to be outdone, the Hollywood Foreign Press has called dibs on Jan. 16 for the Golden Globes). Oscar nominations, meanwhile, will be announced bright and early on Jan. 25.

So any married actresses may want to wait until Jan. 26 to deliver the performance of their lifetime.
