Hollywood & Kodak theatre part one
Hollywood is a district in Los Angeles, California --
situated west-northwest of Downtown Los Angeles.[2]
Due to its fame and cultural identity as the historical center of
movie studios and movie stars, the word "Hollywood" is often used as
a metonym of American cinema.The name Hollywood was coined by H. J. Whitley,
the "Father of Hollywood". Whitley arranged to buy the 500-acre (2.0 km2) E.C. Hurd ranch and disclosed to him his plans for the land. They agreed on a price and Hurd agreed to sell at a later date. Before Whitley got off the ground with Hollywood, plans for the new town had spread to General Harrison Gray Otis, Mr Hurd's wife, Mrs. Daeida Wilcox, and numerous others through the mill of gossip and land speculation.
The Kodak Theatre is a live theatre in the Hollywood and Highland retail, dining, and entertainment complex on Hollywood Boulevard and North Highland Avenue in the Hollywood district of Los Angeles. Since its opening on November 9, 2001, the theatre has been the home of the annual Academy Awards Ceremonies (The Oscars), which were first held there in March 2002, and is the first permanent home for the awards. Since 2002, the theater was also the home for American Idol.
The theatre was designed by David Rockwell of the Rockwell Group, and Theatre Projects Consultants[1] specifically with the Oscars in mind. It has a seating capacity for up to 3,401 people.
The Grand Staircase entrance columns hall to the Kodak Theatre is flanked by
columns displaying the names of winners of the Academy Awards for Best Picture
since 1927-1928, with blank spaces left for future Best Picture winners well
into the 21st century. Still, a visitor during the rest of the year might have
a hard time recognizing the landmark. In a fashion reminiscent of Hollywood's
movie-making process, the building is "dressed" before the ceremony, including
a different sign (though not always), drapery to hide all the storefronts, and
the famous large red carpet.
