Awards season in Los Angeles. The Shrine Auditorium, the venue for the Academy Awards in 1947-1948, 1988-1989, 1991, 1995, 1997-1998, and 2000-2001. It's also been the venue in the past for the American Music Awards, the Grammys, the Emmys... Lately, its Expo Center (not the auditorium) has been used for the SAG Awards, recently rebranded as the Actor Awards. Well, tomorrow (Sunday, 3.1.2026) is the latest Actor Awards.

The red carpet for awards shows used to be more out in the open, and you could see the celebrities out walking on the red carpet. For some years now, these awards shows seem to conceal the red carpet within a tent.

Looks like the guy is still adding the letters for the "Actor Awards."

I always thought the Shrine Auditorium looked a little mosque-like. It's 100 years old, opened in January 1926.
