Paramount has announced a release date for Martin Scorsese’s film HUGO, nominated for 11 Academy Awards this year including Best Picture and Best Director. The film will release on February 28, 2012 to Blu-ray 3D, plain ol’ Blu-ray, and single-disc DVD — all of which contain UltraViolet copies.

And, let’s not forget HUGU will release On Demand and as a Digital Download (but we still like packaged media, don’t we?)
