Academy Awards
Mid-March· Los Angeles, California
Why the circuit stops here
Hollywood’s state occasion. The telecast is for the world; the real circuit is the week of private dinners, brand houses and deal rooms that fill LA before the golden statues land.
The money signal
Private-jet traffic into Van Nuys and Burbank spikes; a single after-party table can outprice a production budget line.
