BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) - The really big stars like Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe are sure to have seats at the Oscars. But other hopeful Oscar-goers may find themselves seatless.
The new theater for the Oscars was built without as many seats as the Shrine Auditorium. The new Kodak Theatre will seat 3,100 people, 900 fewer than the Shrine.
The Motion Picture Academy now has to turn down ticket requests for the big event. They say they are "swamped."
