The Academy Awards are on in the room I am in and I am listening to them while I tend to more entertaining matters, but everyone seems to keep making a big hoopla over this brand new Kodak theater. They just can't get over the fact that the Academy Awards are being held in Hollywood. Where were they held before? Jersey?

The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion and the Shrine Auditorium are both in downtown Los Angeles, about 20 minutes (or an hour ) drive from Hollywood and Highland.

Wow! It's a good thing they built this new theater, then! They should have given me the money it cost to build instead. I could have spent it far more frivilously!

Congratulations to Kodak and to David Rockwell the Designer. People will be enjoying this theatre for decades to come. I can hardly wait to go to LA and vist this beautiful new multi-purpose theatre.

John P, you must be very proud. My best wishes to you.

This was just on a few minutes ago. Did anyone else find the PSA placement for anti-drugs horribly placed in the Academy Awards show? Halle Berry had just finished her acceptance speech and on comes one of those MasterCard commercials about having dogs. (Example: "Dog bowl - $5, training school - $60, having a dog - priceless") Then immediately following was a commercial almost identical to the MasterCard campaign for "where do terrorists get their money?" (Example: "Explosives - $500, cell phones - $60, guns - $200, etc.)

Now of course the answer to the commercial was "terrorists get their money from you if you buy drugs", but still! Think the MasterCard people will be a little angry over that one?

I just wanna know where terrorists can get a brand new $300 Ford Taurus like in the PSA.

I tuned in halfway through. What's up with the "Live from Hollywood and Times Square" thing? Is that where they've banished Donald Sutherland and Glenn Close?

Working closely with many of the Kodak people involved in the new Kodak Theatre, I know they are very happy that Kodak could continue our long partnership with filmmakers in such a wonderful way by supporting the new home of the Academy Awards. The Kodak Theatre will be a Hollywood landmark and "must see" for decades to come, and the centerpiece of a revitalized Hollywood. I personally found tonight's show to be one of the best and most enjoyable in years.

Anyone else catch the way cool shot of the Simplex E-7 with 6000' reels up in the balcony running the opening montage of the ceremony? WAY cool, though there was a blatant DLP ad at the end of the telecast...

I like the looks of the Kodak theatre. I kinda wondered if it would be a big cubical bakelite box.

Will that O show ever come in on time? Why don't they give up and make it four hours fercrisake?

The local station (channel 10 Miami) newswrap crawl had Halle Berry winning for her part in "Monsters, Inc."

What? You don't like propoganda??? HOW DARE YOU!!!

Don't you know that propaganda is how we get people to come to our movie theaters? 95 percent of all movies NEVER fulfil the reported fantasies promised by movie trailers!

And come on now! Get on the bandwagon! Everyone do what they are told and we will all be safer for it!

Note: The previous tirade a proud production of my own beautiful mind.

Lovely theater though. But SHREK?? I hated that damn film. WHY OH WHY... rehashed and retold jokes that were as funny as "you can call me ray" just did not make me understand why people laughed at that damn thing.

Congrats to randy newman, for winning FINALLY, but for a crappy song.

I was under the impression that Randy Newman ALWAYS won. I love MadTV's impression of him.

So what will become of the Kodak Theater when not hosting Oscars? Will it show movies? How many subwoofers does it have?

Bob, you don't get it. The Kodak theater is in HOLLYWOOD! Not LA. HUGE difference here. Now that the Academy Awards ceremony is back in Hollywood again, movies will be much more gooder and the Academy Awards ceremony will be just that much more special.

I liked how they said "Live from Hollywood and Times Square". What happened from Times Square? Nothing!

Joe, I always thought Hollywood was a section of Los Angeles, is that wrong?

I walked through Times Square yesterday, maybe they saw me.

The kodak Theatre has more subwoofers than you can count.

"Live from Times Square?" Apparently the giant [Sony?] TV screen
up high broadcast the Oscar show live for the thousands below.

I really enjoyed seeing Whoopi Goldberg's descent from the ceiling
on a golden swing in her spoof of Moulin Rouge. Her beautiful, smiling face, her glittering costume with those outrageous feathers
making her look like a proud peacock, set a cheerful fun tone to the show. And her many costume changes, like the maid's Gosford Park bit,
gave a running gag to her parodies. The unnamed A.P. photographer captured a most memorable shot of Whoopi which appears on the front page of the NYTimes 3/25. Her circus entry called attention to the vastness and beauty of Kodak's new theater, and the antics of the Circ Du Soleil expanded on its stage capabilities.

For me the speech of Sidney Poitier gave another tone entirely--one of powerful dignity, as he summed up the history of recognition of blacks to the movies, culture and history of America and the world.
The film clips of his movies (nearly all of which I've seen or projected) showed the kinetic dynamism of his youth. His address on
receiving his honorary award had the seriousness of his maturity.
