Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud, honoured, humbled, overawed and delighted to present, the permanent home and location of today’s 78th annual Academy Awards, Hollywood California’s Kodak Theater!

And just outside is the Hollywood Walk of Fame, dotted with over 2000 stars marked with the names of celebrities honoured for their contributions to the entertainment industry.

More info on the Oscars, the Kodak Theater and the Hollywood Walk of Fame over at Wikipedia.

Thanks to Kevin Law, Winterfresh, gIMpSTa, Trevor Botting, chris jernigan, Simone and Paulia.

A few weeks ago various news sources picked up the story of a Flying Car in Google Earth. It looks to me like it’s more hovering than actually flying but it definitely resembles a normal car, although I can’t be certain if it’s a DeLorean or not.

To feed the conspiracy theorists commenter Roy has discovered that this is not an isolated case as there’s another example further to the south. Do you all still think it’s a canopy?
