"In a departure from our tradition of a live audience at the Academy, this year's nominations will be announced via a global live stream on Oscar.com, Oscars.org, the Academy's digital platforms, a satellite feed, and local broadcasters, including 'Good Morning America," said an Acadamy release.

The new change in the Oscar Nominations has been pushed forward as the institution has been trying to grab a larger online presence right from the promotions to the Award declaration event.
