  Public interest in the awards that year ensured that the next year's ceremonies would be broadcast live over the radio. Since that time, the Oscars have come a long way. The awards are now watched on television by millinions of viewers in over 100 different countries.

  This year, the event wil be held in the bradnnew Kodak Theater. This new theater promises to be a beautiful and elegant site, suitable for the Hollywood royalty that will be attending. The Kodak Theater will also be perfect for another important part of the ceremony, the "red carpet."This is where famous celebrities make their grand entrances.
