Hollywood Street and Sidewalk Closures Ahead of Oscars 2016

Hollywood, Calif. – The 88th Oscars will be held on Sunday, February 28, 2016, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, and will be televised live on the ABC Television Network at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PST. The Oscars, produced by David Hill and Reginald Hudlin, also will be televised live in more than 225 countries and territories worldwide.
To ensure public safety, support security strategies and facilitate the production of this year’s Oscars®, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the City of Los Angeles have finalized street closure plans around the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center in Hollywood.

To accommodate the construction of press risers, fan bleachers and pre-show stages along the Oscars red carpet, Hollywood Boulevard will be closed between Highland Avenue and Orange Drive beginning at 10 p.m. on Sunday, February 21st, and remain closed until 6 a.m. on Tuesday, March 1st.

MTA subway trains will bypass the Hollywood & Highland station after the last regularly scheduled train on Saturday, February 27th, until 6 a.m. Monday, February 29th. Service at the station will resume with the first scheduled train after 6 a.m.

Between Sunday, February 21, and Oscar Sunday, February 28, additional streets and sidewalks will be closed for varying periods.

Details of the closures and maps of affected areas are available from the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, the Sixth and the Thirteenth District City Council field offices and on the Academy’s website at www.oscars.org/closures.
