The building at sixty-four thirty Sunset Boulevard is marked by a deep, mid-century concrete screen that shields its glass facade from the street. This is the former headquarters of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Before they moved to their current home in Beverly Hills, this was where members gathered to deliberate. In nineteen fifty-two, the building hosted the first televised Academy Awards ceremony, as officials decided they needed to bring the golden statues directly into the homes of viewers everywhere.
