The Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.

The Kodak Theatre before the 75th Academy Awards in 2003.

Workers make preparations before the 75th Academy Awards in 2003.

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.

The theatre was designed specifically with the Oscars in mind. It has a seating capacity for up to 3,400 people and the stage is one of the largest in the United States, measuring 113 feet wide by 60 feet deep. However, it is not the largest theater in the U.S. - that honor goes to Willow Creek Church's (near Chicago) 7,200 seat Worship Center. The theatre was sponsored by the Kodak company, which paid $75 million to have its name associated with the building. It is owned by CIM Group.

The Grand Staircase entrance columns hall to the Kodak Theatre is flanked by columns displaying 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 moviemaking process, the building is "dressed" before the ceremony, including a different sign, drapery to hide all the storefronts, and the famous large red carpet.

The theatre is rented to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for weeks before the Oscar night. During the rest of the year, it is host to numerous other live concerts, award shows, symphony performances and others.

Past events

Artists that have appeared at the Kodak Theatre include Armenchik, Christina Aguilera, Céline Dion, the Dixie Chicks, Mariah Carey, Elvis Costello, Vanilla Ice, Barry Manilow, Prince, Ian Anderson, David Gilmour, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Broadway musicals, dance shows, symphony performances and opera.

Other events have included the AFI Life Achievement Award to Tom Hanks, the ESPY Awards for excellence in sports performance yearly, the BET Awards and American Idol finales. In April 2006, it was home to the 33rd Daytime Emmy Awards, and it hosted the 34th Daytime Emmy Awards on June 15, 2007.

In 2005, Nintendo appeared at the Kodak Theatre to promote their latest console, the Wii, before E3 began. It was again rented out to Nintendo in 2006 for their pre-E3 conference. The 2006 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was also held at the Kodak Theatre for the first time, having been held in New York in previous years.

The theatre has also broadcated the Miss USA pagent twice. The first time being 2004 and the second time in 2007.
