TICKET HOLDERS AND VEHICLES SUBJECT TO SEARCH
In addition to all guests being subject to search, automobiles arriving at the Oscars will also be subject to search even if the driver or passenger(s) are not present.
Private cars will be examined prior to being parked by valets. Our security personnel must have access to glove boxes, trunks, and any other compartments in your vehicle. If there are items in your car that you do not want searched, please remove them prior to your departure for the ceremony.
ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE INFORMATION
With increased traffic around Hollywood and heightened security at the Dolby Theatre, please give yourself plenty of time to arrive.
All guests are expected to be in their seats by 3:30pm. Guests should be aware that walking the red carpet may take up to 30 minutes.
For security reasons, guests are required to follow the Academy’s instructions to gain access to the drop-off area at the Dolby Theatre. Guests will receive a digital parking pass with directions for arriving by valet (AUTO) as well as by a chauffeur-driven vehicle (LIMO).
To retrieve your vehicle after the show, please present your valet or limo claim ticket at the designated call-back table. For valet, guests will be directed to the appropriate area to wait for your car. For chauffeur-driven vehicles, attendants at the call-back table will contact your driver in the limo holding area. At that time, your driver will be given a pass to enter the pick-up area. Please do not call the driver directly. Without a pass, your driver will not be able to pick you up.
RIDESHARE
Guests arriving by rideshare will be considered a chauffeur-driven vehicle and should use the corresponding digital vehicle pass and directions (LIMO). Upon departure, guests who would like to use rideshare will be directed to a shuttle that will take them to a designated pick-up area at the Hollywood Bowl.
ARRIVAL INSTRUCTIONS - AUTO
Your car will be searched at the security checkpoint. To expedite the search, please empty your vehicle of all unnecessary items.
At the drop-off point, valet attendants will give drivers a call-back ticket. Make sure you have your call-back ticket and that the valet attendants have keys to your car.

WAITING AREA AND PICKUP
Limousines must park in the designated parking area at the Hollywood Bowl after dropping off guests. A waiting area for drivers will be available with refreshments and television monitors broadcasting the Oscars.
After the show or ball, guests will present their call-back tickets and limousines will be called by the limousine coordinators at the Hollywood Bowl. At that time, drivers will surrender their “arrivals” dashboard pass and be issued a “departure” pick-up pass.
