SASKATOON — The general manager of a movie theatre in Saskatchewan says it’ll be an extra early Oscars watch party this weekend as the award show airs after most Canadians wind their clocks ahead an hour.
The 96th Academy Awards show is to be broadcast Sunday, but this year it’s taking place an hour earlier at 7 p.m. ET. It also airs after daylight time, which sees most Canadians change their clocks."Daylight saving time confuses me,” says Jordan Delorme, as he ponders what the time change means for the Roxy Theatre in Saskatoon. “Which is fine because I usually don't need to think about it.
“Being in Saskatchewan, where we don't generally deal with daylight saving time, that means that whenever the start time is when I'm looking at it now might be an hour different on the day that it's actually supposed to play,” he says. “This time change seems to affect people for a much longer period of time,” says Michael Antle, a University of Calgary psychology professor who studies the circadian clock.
The time change has always been controversial with dedicated defenders and ardent adversaries. There was an Alberta referendum in 2021 where just over half of people voted to continue changing clocks twice a year.
