Renowned as the home of the Academy Awards®, the Dolby Theatre® is a 180,000-square-foot, 3,400-seat cinema, celebrating our commitment to science and innovation. Guests at this special events venue are able to experience films with the ultravivid color of Dolby Vision® and the immersive sound of Dolby Atmos®.

At the max, Dolby Cinema supports 12-bit color with 12-bit depth and 10,000 nits brightness. IMAX theatres typically use 2K resolution. Dual 4K laser projectors can only be experienced in a new theatre. This is still less than three times better than standard movie formats.

May I take a tour of the theatre? Yes, but keep in mind the Dolby Theatre is an operating facility with a busy performance schedule.

Step Beyond The Red Carpet! Dolby Theatre also hosts high profile events such as America's Got Talent, the AFI Life Achievement ceremony, The ESPY Awards, The Latin American Music Awards, the American Idol finals, the Star Wars: The Force Awakens world premiere, Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and many more!
