• The Academy Awards will move from the Dolby Theatre to L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles beginning in 2029 under a new agreement with AEG that runs through 2039. The Oscars are leaving Hollywood — or at least Hollywood Boulevard. The Dolby Theatre sits at the corner of Hollywood and Highland, inside a retail and entertainment center near the TCL Chinese Theatre and the El Capitan. L.A. Live offers a more centralized, campus-style setting, with venues and event spaces clustered together. The Oscars will remain at the Dolby through the 100th ceremony in 2028 before making the transition the following year.
