Kodak Theatre
Arena
Kodak Theatre is the crown jewel of the Hollywood & Highland Center retail,
dining and entertainment complex located in the heart of historic Hollywood. The 3,332
seat theatre opened in November 2001 and soon thereafter became known to more than one
billion people across the globe as the first permanent home of the
Academy Awards.
Built at a cost of $94 million, Kodak
Theatre was designed by the internationally-renowned Rockwell Group to be as glamorous
as its onstage artists and celebrity guests, yet capable of serving the enormous
technical needs of a live worldwide television broadcast on Oscar night. The naming of
Kodak Theatre, in a 20-year marketing partnership with Eastman Kodak Co., was one of
the most significant non-sports corporate sponsorships in history. Kodak’s
prominence and long-standing connection to the film industry in Hollywood made the
relationship a natural. In fact, for the 78th consecutive year, ever since the
inception of the Academy Awards, Best Picture was produced on Kodak film.
