The lyrics of "Celluloid Heroes", a song by The Kinks, tell us: "You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Blvd..." This is 100% true if you look down at your feet. The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a sidewalk on Hollywood Blvd. that serves as an entertainment museum. The stars go down several blocks, and come to their resting place at Grauman's Chinese Theater where they hold the Academy Awards!
Right next to the Chinese Theater is the Kodak Theater, famous for where they hold the American Idol finals, and also the ESPY Awards and the BET Awards, among others. Many headliners have performed here as well.
Directly across from the Kodak Theater is where they tape the late show, Jimmy Kimmel Live! There was actually a line for a viewing of the late show, slated to air that same night!
What is amazing about all these buildings is that they are all so close together. When we see Award shows on TV, they give the impression that these theaters are secluded more. When you see them up close, you are doubting the fact that these buildings are big enough to hold a huge crowd, like the finals of American Idol. Looks can really be deceiving!
Tips on the Walk of Fame:
-The Walk of Fame is a big tourist destination any time of the year, so be patient and allow time.
