The venue for the Oscars has a new name — and sound.
The posh 3,400-seat theatre formerly known as the Kodak Theatre reopened yesterday with a new audio-visual system and new signage as the Dolby Theatre.
Dolby Laboratories Inc. announced a 20-year deal with Hollywood last month to rename the theatre, which has hosted the Academy Awards since 2002.
The 85th annual Academy Awards are scheduled to be held at the Dolby Theatre on Feb. 24, 2013.
