You’re invited to fly to the red carpet
February 25, 2011
This Sunday night is the 83rd annual
Academy Awards
, which makes a dazzling presence at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, California. The Oscar® Awards are the oldest awards ceremony in the media, and was created to honor film achievements. However, this event has evolved into something more of a spectacle and broadcast success over the years. There’s the extravagant red carpet, infamous paparazzi, buzzing interviews, entertaining ceremony and of course the fashion commentary.
Last year, I hosted an Oscars party for friends and got dressed up in high heels, rolled out a red carpet, made themed drinks & snacks and of course had the obligatory ballot with prizes. As we sat on the edge of our seats and critiqued the fashion, we pretended to be right there on the red carpet with the stars.
This year, we thought, why not take the experience one step closer to reality? Take a virtual tour of the Kodak Theatre in
Google Earth
-- as if you're actually there! It includes the red carpet, paparazzi and even the Oscar statues. Watch the
video
below to fly to the red carpet in 3D or
download this KML
to take a tour in Google Earth.
If you’d like to take your own trip on the red carpet in Google Earth, download a 3D model of the
Red Carpet
,
Hollywood and Highland Center
, and the
Kodak Theatre
.
You’ve probably already made your predictions, but if you’re curious about what other people are thinking, check out the
Oscar Search Trends
. See which nominees are being searched and also realtime news articles and mentions. I’m putting my bet on James Franco for “Best Actor in a Leading Role” but according to the graph I’m not alone.
There are two days left to take a virtual trip to the red carpet, see live search results for nominees and even have time to find the perfect pair of heels or cuff links. Enjoy watching the show!
