Getting to the Academy Awards on ceremony night
- The Hollywood and Highland Metro B Line station is directly below Ovation Hollywood, and the B Line takes you to other Hollywood stops and downtown. Around the ceremony it is a different story: in 2026, trains skipped the station from after the last train on Saturday, March 14 until after 6 a.m. on Monday, March 16.
- Hollywood Boulevard closes around the ceremony. In 2026, all lanes from Orange Drive to Highland Avenue were shut from March 5 to March 18.
- The 2027 ceremony is on March 14. Hollywood evenings in March average around 55°F, so pack a layer for the walk back.
- Ovation Hollywood's parking structure is available for guests, but spaces fill early on event nights. Hotels within two blocks let you leave the car behind.
Venue note for 2029 and beyond
Dolby Theatre hosts the Academy Awards through 2028. From 2029, the ceremony moves to a new venue. If you are planning ahead for 2029 or later, confirm the venue before booking a hotel based on proximity to Dolby Theatre.
