The awards will be handed out Feb. 22 in a star-studded ceremony at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center in Hollywood. The glitzy affair will be televised live on ABC.

No host has been announced for the event yet. Ellen DeGeneres served as this year's emcee, which took place March 2 and saw Matthew McConaughey and Cate Blanchett crowned Best Actor and Actress.
