All final preparations were finished Sunday morning for the huge extravaganza. Soon, Hollywood's best will descend on the Dolby Theatre.
Producers behind the show say 20,000 people from all over the world applied to sit in the bleachers alongside the red carpet, but only 700 lucky fans snagged tickets. Those not so lucky fans were still happy to catch a glimpse of the preparations for Sunday's show, as crews worked hard to unroll the iconic red carpet before the event.
"It's neat," Andre Ojeda of Van Nuys said. "It's something for all of us to come out and enjoy. I am not much of an Oscar person, but I am enjoying the sights."
In addition to all of the lights and cameras you will also see plenty of tourists. People from around the world have flown in to see Hollywood's finest walk the red carpet on Sunday.
"I think it's amazing because all I've seen is through television or magazines," Yumee Hah of South Korea said.
Media from all over the world have also flocked to Dolby Theatre, turning Hollywood into a sea of camera crews. Oscar producers say the audience can look forward to something new and fun - they promise it will be jam-packed with plenty of excitement.
"This show is bigger and has more in it, more entertainment unequivocally, than anything I've seen in recent years on the Oscars," said Don Mischer, director of the Oscar telecast.
