BREAKING. Set and design secrets of 82nd Annual Academy Awards revealed.
David Rockwell who designed The Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles and also did the breathtaking set design for the 81st Annual Academy Awards last year, is doing the set design again this year. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences just revealed some 2010 Oscars set design secrets.
The photos above and below are of last year's 81st Oscars that wowed the worldwide TV audience with the 12 transforming sets and the crystal curtain made out of 100 000 Swarovski crystals.
Well, the curtain will be back! Production designer David Rockwell is bringing back the dazzling element - but with ''new and unexpected features for an even greater theatrical effect''. ''The overall design is intended to evoke a classic but modern glamour, with white, platinum, topaz and smoky bronze hues.'' There will also be three, circular revolving platforms that work in combination with rotating TV panels.
As I've told you RIGHT HERE first this year's Oscars will be shown LIVE on the M-Met Movies 1 channel at 03:00 on Monday, 8 March and from 19:30 on M-Net later the same day.
