Frankly, calling it the Kodak is symbolic because both the company and theater are products of a bygone era.
The theater's stage was built to accomodate a 4:3 picture ratio, and it would cost millions to make it widescreen friendly. Performers and show producers dislike the venue, which is why a Cirque show has been able to occupy the space more-or-less as a permanent resident for dirt-cheap costs. It is inconvenient to have the Oscars there because they have to shut down Hollywood Blvd for a small eternity. And the parking sucks. And, yes, I'm annoyed the Cirque show was shut down the entire month of February when I planned on taking a lovely woman to see it, and so now we will be going to Vegas instead. But that fact does not influence my negative opinion about the theater at all, or at least not much.
