Although the ongoing Hollywood writers' strike may affect the actual broadcast of the Academy Awards ceremony (as it did the Golden Globes Awards), it didn't stop the Academy from announcing the nominees this morning. If the show does go on, you can tune into ABC on February 24th at 8:00 PM (Eastern Time) to see who wins.
