In 2029, the prestigious awards are moving from the Dolby Theater in Hollywood to downtown Los Angeles.
, the Academy Awards will be changing venues, from the Dolby Theater on Hollywood Blvd. to the Peacock Theater downtown. The move coincides withThe broadcast moving to YouTube is one thing. The physical event moving from the center of Hollywood, mere feet from the world-famous TCL Chinese Theater and on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, is another.
The new theater is part of LA Live, a largely commercial area centered around Crypto.com Arena, the home of the Los Angeles Lakers, Kings, and Sparks. It’s only about eight miles away, but, in Los Angeles, it might as well be a million. I’m a Los Angeles resident, and the Oscars being at the Dolby just made sense. Sure, they’d only been there since 2002, but the entire area was built around it and basically meant for it. Pillars up and down the corridors had spaces to honor Oscar-winners going decades into the future. Tourists could take photos where the stars walk the red carpet and then get photos with their hands in their handprints and with their stars on the street. Basically, for better or worse, the Oscars were held in the Times Square of Los Angeles. The most Hollywood place in Hollywood. Downtown at LA Live simply doesn’t have that same reverence. Maybe when there’s a big event at the nearby Crypto.com Arena, things can be electric. But on a normal day, it’s just chain restaurants and a movie theater. Plus, there’s not much else to do in the immediate area, outside of big events. The news also revealed that the Peacock will be undergoing significant technical upgrades to help accommodate the event. And the space has several thousand more seats than the Dolby , so that will up the energy considerably. So it’s not all bad. But it’s just a shocking turn of events, bucking against tradition. However, the move does seemingly give the next two Oscars, in 2027 and 2028, a bit more excitement. It’s the last two times they’ll be at this place where history was made, time and time again. But, come 2029, it’s a whole new awards show.6:00 pmAmy Madigan’s ‘Weapons’ Oscar Win Was a Big Win for Horror Her Best Supporting Actress nod was part of horror's biggest Academy Awards haul, with the genre winning a record eight awards.'I Lied to You' was the best song from 'Sinners,' and it got a full spotlight at the Oscars last night.‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Is Your Best Animated Feature Oscar Winner Netflix's biggest film of all time not only has a sequel in the works, but it's also got more awards on its shelf.
