The organizers of this year’s Oscar Film Awards, which will be held on Sunday, April 25, announced that it will take place for the first time from inside a train station in downtown Los Angeles, which includes a stunning Art Deco building.
But the organizers did not disclose clearly the details of the ceremony, which will be attended by limited numbers and will be shown by the ABC network in a live broadcast, according to USA Today.
