AWARDS AT THE EGYPTIAN THEATRE IN HOLLYWOOD
The historic Egyptian Theatre was the first major deluxe movie palace in Hollywood (built in 1922, by Sid Grauman, also of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre). The theatre is home to the critically acclaimed American Cinematheque, which completed a major renovation of the property in 1998. The Egyptian Theatre is a state-of-the-art theatre within a historic shell, and features its original, ornate sunburst ceiling and other artwork; the Steven Spielberg theatre; and a stylish open-air, palm tree lined courtyard.
