And The Oscar Goes To... Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Teamtinda: Sadly, I visited the GZ late tonight and discovered the whole area has been excavated for new walkways etc. I'm disappointed I didn't sneak in and retrieve the cache when I could because it has definitely been obliterated!
Thanks to all who took an interest in this one.

Geocache Description:

A cache to honour the Oscars. Hope you've got your acceptance speech prepared!

The coordinates above are NOT the location of the cache - it's the Avalon Theatre where films were shown from WWII until 1962 when it was bought by UQ. Instead, you will need to study the picture below and do some research to work out where to find the cache. An Academy Award is an accolade bestowed by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to recognize excellence of professionals in the film industry, including directors, actors, and writers. The Oscar statuette is officially named the Academy Award of Merit and is one of nine types of Academy Awards. The formal ceremony at which the Awards of Merit are presented is one of the most prominent award ceremonies in the world, and is televised live in more than 100 countries annually, however the first broadcast was not televised. It is also the oldest award ceremony in the media; its equivalents, the Grammy Awards (for music), Emmy Awards (for television), and Tony Awards (for theatre) are modeled after the Academy. The first Academy Awards ceremony was held on May 16, 1929, at the Hotel Roosevelt in Hollywood to honor outstanding film achievements of the 1927/1928 film season. This cache was published on the same day as the 84th Academy Awards, held at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, on February 26, 2012. (Please replace cap securely.)
