Check out the Oscars stage ahead of this Sunday’s Academy Awards

Published by

Lush, lavish and lovely. This year’s Oscars stage is dripping with luxurious style and over 45 million Swarovski crystals in one of the most elaborate single use stage pieces ever produced. It was created by famed Tony and Emmy-winning designer Derek McLane, in his sixth year as the show’s set creator and what we’ll see will be a range of styles that includes a Versailles Hall of Mirrors–esque aesthetic influenced by the film Amadeus and nods to Hollywood’s glamorous history. There will be a three-dimensionality to the stage set and the LED screen showing images of films and nominees. ““Hopefully, if we do our job well, you won’t really be able to tell the difference between virtual and built!” says McLane.

You can read the full descriptions at Architectural Digest, who got the first sneak peek and then see everything live and in living color at the 90th Academy Awards this Sunday, March 4th with host Jimmy Kimmel.

Erik Anderson is the founder/owner and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch and has always loved all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards since he was in single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013. He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
