Statuettes
All statuettes "Oscar" are delivered to the cinema in foam containers. After they are removed from this packaging, the foam broke into small pieces. This is done so that no one can recreate the statuette pattern from the remaining garbage.
Further, a special person representing the American Cinema Academy follows the awards. He is forbidden to touch them with bare hands, so it always carries white or black gloves. Before you give the trophy to the one who will hand over the "Oscar" to the winner, the statuette is thoroughly wiped with a cloth. Thus, when the figurine falls into the hands of the laureate, it has fingerprints of fingers only the one who presented it, and, in fact, the winner itself.
After the ceremony, each Oscar is decorated with a sign with the name of its owner. This is happening at the official party after the ceremony - the governor's ball. Winners give their trophies to film academy employees, and they screw the registered plates to the base of the statuette. Plates with the names of all candidates for the premium are made in advance. And those plates that did not find their owners, that is, the losers of the nominees are destroyed after the ceremony.
Envelopes
The company PricewaterhouseCoopers is responsible for envelopes with the names of the winners. Two of their employees on duty at the edges of the scene. They monitor the envelopes so that no one is in touch with them, and personally pass into the hands of an artist who goes on the stage to announce the name of the Laureate Prize.
Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers should be very chase to know the winners in all categories in case that something happens to envelopes or the winner will be announced. In the main nominations, they memorize the names of actors, directors and names of their paintings. In categories, they only need to remember the names of films.

the Red carpet
The red path in which the stars are marking the cinema, divided into two parts with velvet rope. The nominees go on the left side where they can communicate with representatives of the media. And all other guests of the ceremony must adhere to the right side. Guests who are too long delayed on the track are politely, but rather hard ask to continue moving and stop.
Before retaining the track, the Film Academy employees carefully examine every centimeter of the Hollywood Boulevard and close all the foxes in the sidewalk. If there is at least the slightest probability of rain during the passage of stars on the track, there is a special canopy over it. After all, it is much faster and easier to remove the awning if there is a good weather than to build it in case of rain.
The main part of the track goes along the Hollywood Boulevard. And her last segment passes by the showcases of boutiques of the shopping and entertainment center, in which the cinema is located. However, shops are hidden from the eye of the guests of the ceremony with dense red curtains installed in these shop windows. In addition, all shops located in the mall are prohibited to work on the Oscar award.
Team
Over the ceremony, there is a total of a couple of hundred people. Among them are five assistants of the director, over ten scenarios, twenty director's assistants, more than twenty teleplayers, about thirty editors. Everyone who works on the show, including those who do not fall into the lenses of the camera, should stick to the dress code and be dressed in a tuxedo or evening dress. Most of them are not invited to any Afteptachi: none of those like the American Film Academy, nor those that organize studios.

Auditorium
Each nominee is officially laid two places in the auditorium. In case the candidate for Oscar needs more chairs, he must inform about it in advance and justify his request.
The applicants for the award who are little familiar to the audience in the face are usually planted next to each other so that the operator can take into the frame of all potential winners. Nominable actors and directors, on the contrary, seard apart from each other, so that they fall into the camera lens separately. But at the same time, they are located in the auditorium so that the nominees of other categories from their films are not far from them and, in the event of their victory, they went towards the scene by actors and director.
Cabinets
Personal Accounts for the time of Oscar are provided only by the producers of the show, director, screenwriters and a leading ceremony. All others, including nominees and those who present figurines, do not have their dressing rooms. For stars who still want to get their own room, a place is standing under a staircase. Less demanding celebrities can be tentate a makeup or hairstyle in the Green Room, located right behind the scene: there are several dressing tables with backlit. By the way, the "Green Room" itself, that is, a rest room for stars and guests of the ceremony, it is erected only at the time of the ceremony with mobile walls: the remaining 51 week a year is just an open space behind the scenes.

Bar
Before the start of the show, all drinks at the cinema bar are distributed free of charge. With the beginning of the ceremony, you wanted to drink alcohol themselves. But the bar and during the ceremony, as a rule, is full of people. Most often, the loser nominees or those stars who handed statues, but did not have time to return to their place in the auditorium before the end of the commercial. All the hand of Oscar is allowed to leave the auditorium during the advertising pause in the broadcast. And they are returned to the place also during advertising. This is done in order for the frame to be seen all these movements of the artists around the hall. During the lack of stars in their places, the volunteers of the American Film Academy are planting. Before the ceremony, these people undergo careful selection and special training. They are taught by passing to the place, do not turn back to the persons of the sitting, do not step on their feet and long floors of the actresses. They also forbidden to talk to celebrities, only if the star itself did not decide to make a conversation.
Toilets
On the stage floor Dolby Theater has only two toilets. Each restroom is equipped in such a way that there may be only one person in it. Therefore, the queues in the toilet are usually long. And very stellar.
