Getting into the Kodak Theatre isn’t easy, even if you have the right credentials. We requested access to shoot “behind the scenes” and it took a few stops and starts — but we finally made it into the hallowed venue to get a glimpse.
Jon Stewart is hosting the Academy Awards for the second time.
The Academy is keeping much of the Oscar telecast under wraps, and made it very clear about what we could and could not shoot. For example, we were able to shoot the placards showing where the stars would sit, but we could not show where the placards were placed in the theater. They did not want people to know where the stars would be sitting in relation to each other and the stage. The stage itself was also off-limits. “It’s supposed to be a surprise,” the Academy said. At this point you’re probably wondering exactly what we were able to shoot. Well, we got a surprising amount of material.
