Beverly Hills, CA — Seventy-Eighth Academy Awards® Telecast producer Gil Cates and production designer Roy Christopher today revealed the set design of the March 5 Oscar telecast.
"When designing the Oscars, I try to make the current show as different from the year before as possible," said Christopher. "Last year's show was distinguished by a hi-tech, 'cutting-edge' style. So this year, there's nothing hi-tech — it's a no-holds-barred return to classic Hollywood glamour, paying homage to old movie theaters." "I wanted to celebrate the movies and to include great movie houses and screens," said Cates. "So Roy went back to the classic ornate movie houses for his inspiration, which, I think, is superbly reflected in the final design."
"I have always loved the movie theaters of the '30s, '40s and '50s," Christopher said. "The man who designed many of them was S. Charles Lee, who was remarkably imaginative and architecturally daring, making movie theaters in styles ranging from the ornate Hollywood baroque to the sleek art-moderne. His spaces were exciting places that upon entering made you feel that something extraordinary was going to happen."
That anticipation of what is about to happen is exactly what Christopher hopes the Academy Awards audience and the millions watching at home will experience on Oscar night. His homage to the world of movie theater design comes complete with a 65-foot-long giant "Oscar" marquee, a pair of 20-foot-tall frosted glass Oscars, an art deco box-office and several movie screens ranging from the elegant movie palace traditional to the gigantic wide-screen deco.
This is the 17th time that Christopher has designed the Oscar set, 11 with telecast producer Gil Cates. Christopher has received 35 Emmy nominations, 16 of them for his work on the Oscar telecast, for which he has won six Emmy Awards.

Stephen make sure to check this forum, as I am sure you will within moments know what will have been the outcome, one we all end up like Ennis brokenhearted, or we will end up in heaven like Ennis and Jack in the second tent scene, ;D

Oh, Tom, what are you going to do???!! If I knew how to tape the show and upload, I would especially after all that hard hard work you did on the BAFTA clips.

Don't be nice to me I'll just cry ...sniff :'(
Don't worry I'll be here on the live thread and you can all let me know ( and it better be immediatley..or heads will roll) who the winners (BBM nominees) are.
I will be so plastered on my Jack Daniels. I'll probably think I'm at the godamned ceremony by the end of the night.

if they showed the bafta's in america they have to be showing the oscars somewhere-or someplace - check out bars and oscar partys in the uk--someone is showing it live.
p.s. call me tacky i like the set- they should have women dressed in those silky form fitting braless 30's gowns.

EVERY time I see that picture I get all warm inside. It is so beautiful. I have seen tons of pictures of men kissing but this one is special for reasons I can not explain.
Thanks for posting it.
When I watch the movie and I get to that kiss I have to replay it a few dozen times just to hear the noises. Heavenly.

Two days left and already my stomach is tied in knots!! Wish I drank!!!

If there is an American military base close by, they may have it live on Armed Forces Television. Just remember you can't take any of the GIs home Tom, they are just eye candy. ;D
And watch it drinking that Jacques Daniels, too much of it and you'll be talking with a Southern accent and we'll never understand you. ;D

got this from BBC website There will be full coverage of the 78th Academy Awards on the BBC News website throughout Sunday and Monday. There will also be an Oscars 2006 special on BBC News 24 and BBC World at 0930 GMT on Monday, which is streamed live on this website.

Thanks Ethan. The set looks Art Deco - interesting. Well the Academy makes $50 million off of Oscar night so they can afford to make it glitzy all the way down to the red carpet - which is cayenne color.
