They shouldn't be moved. No reason for it.

Billy Crystal called it the "Chapter 11 Theater" yesterday...I think that works great

Well, there's no law saying the Oscars have to be held there, after all. Just me personally...I like the notion of the Oscars being held in Hollywood. But historically, they've been held in many places, including non-Hollywood locations like the Ambassador Hotel and Shrine Auditorium.

Before the Kodak Theater was opened in 2003, the Academy Awards were rarely held in Hollywood.

The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion is downtown and that hosted the Academy Awards ceremonies during the 1970s and 1980s.

Personally, I think if any district needs more "allure" at this point, it would be South Park. Hollywood will always be Hollywood. Having both the Grammy's and Oscars would hopefully be a great boon for that area.

Of course, the theater isn't in Chap. 11, Kodak is. But I guess ultimately whoever offers the best deal gets the show.

Isn't the Nokia fit with 7,100 seats?

Compared to the Kodak's 3401 seats?

That is most likely a big factor to the change.
