The Kodak Theater Experience. From the moment you walk through the grand entrance on Hollywood Boulevard, your Kodak Theater experience will transcend you into the kingdom of the stars. A two-story Awards Walk, with glass plaques for each Best Picture Oscar winner on limestone portals, leads up a sweeping staircase with red mosaic tile to the main entrance. The five-level lobby - topped by an oval silvery dome - displays 26 images of Oscar winners, including Grace Kelly, Jack Nicholson, Marlon Brando, Halle Berry and Julia Roberts, in front of shimmering beaded “silver screen” panels. The George Eastman Room displays a real Oscar statuette, one of eight awarded to the Eastman Kodak Company, for its film industry achievements. Above the audience, a silver-leafed tiara supports and disguises an immense lighting system.  [Top]
