Review Oscar's history as it relates to Hollywood and Chicago
About
Join us for The Oscars and Chicago as we consider Hollywood's most prestigious awards and their unexpected connections to the Windy City.
We'll start this hour-long talk with a backstory of the Oscars, including why and how they were created. Then, we'll look at Chicago’s links to this Los Angeles-based event, focusing specifically on the statuette and a few industry game-changers from Chicago. Finally, we'll wrap up the program with a (virtual) tour of Chicago’s Grant Park, where a recent Best Picture nominee spent considerable time filming.
Dust off your black dress or tuxedo! The Oscars and Chicago is about to begin.

Chicago Film. Expert Insight.
Hi, I'm KELLI, a PhD and the founder of Chicago Movie Tours.
After years of teaching film, I launched Chicago Movie Tours to bring my expertise beyond the classroom and into the city streets. Drawing on my background as an educator and PhD, I lead tours and talks that reveal how Chicago’s onscreen locations connect to its culture and history.
Whether you're a local or a visitor, with me, you'll always discover something new about the city—and its ties to film!
