72nd Annual Academy Award
Nomination Announcement
Memorabilia
The "regular admittance" press pass, which is a sticker that must be worn at all times.
This is the voucher that must be turned in for a press kit.
Needless to say, I scanned this before I went to the ceremony.
The chart of available seating in the auditorium, which gives an idea of how limited capacity was.
The stage area is the top of the page.
The top reads:
"Welcome to the Nominations Announcement for the 72nd Academy Awards.
A very large crowd is expected this morning and to ensure that everyone present can enjoy this event
we ask for your cooperation. When the Theater opens, please enter quickly and find an available seat.
To assist you in this, the map below indicates where large areas of open seating exist in the Theater.
(Other areas have been reserved in advance for the many television crews broadcasting the announcement live.)
Safety restrictions do not permit individuals to stand in aisles. Should you have difficulty locating
an available seat, Academy staff or security will be happy to help you."
