In the late 1920s, Hollywood producers liked coming here to the fancy Millennium Biltmore Hotel to hold business meetings.

20世纪20年代末，好莱坞制片人们喜欢来这家豪华的千禧碧丽宫酒店举行商务会议。

The story goes that it was here in 1927 that the studio's designer first sketched the outlook of the Oscar Statuette.

没人知道那张餐巾纸最后去哪里了。碧丽宫酒店营销总监安娜·塞古拉认为那张餐巾纸早在近百年前就已遗失。

This hall hosted the ceremony eight times, though back then, it looked a little different.
