The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will host its new black-tie Governors Awards banquet on November 14, according to a report in The New York Times. The dinner will be held in the grand ballroom at the Hollywood & Highland Center. The academy plans to present its Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award and Honorary Award Oscars at the event, as well as the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award, according to The Times. Recipients of those awards used to receive them during the main Oscar broadcast, along with the other winners. The 2010 Oscars broadcast is set for March 7 (a bit later than recent years' typical February date, an effort to avoid a conflict with the Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, Canada).
