Oscars Outdoors

Over the Rainbow
Last night was the finale in a series of outdoor movies at the new 'Oscars Outdoors' campus at Vine Street.  The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences took over a block of land just north of the Pickford Building to create a grassy park where they have shown Academy Award winning films all summer on Saturday nights.  Food trucks matching the theme of the film are arranged in an adjacent lot.  The Wizard of Oz sing-a-long was sold out in 24 hours!  A beautiful balmy night and a good voice was all that was needed.
