Despite ongoing worries that the 2008 Academy Awards would be canceled, the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Sid Ganis, confirmed on Wednesday that the show will go on!

The show is scheduled to air in some form or another on Feb. 24, even though many actors have expressed that they will not cross picket lines if the writers' strike is still going on at the time. Ganis says that there are two possible broadcasts for the Oscars: "The show we would love to do and... a show that we would prefer not to do."

Ganis also said on Wednesday, "We have an obligation to the art form to present the Oscars, so we have to deal with the possibility of not being able to do the show because of pickets or agreements not being concluded."
