The 73rd Annual Academy Awards had a first-time host in a last-time home. When Steve Martin presented the Oscars on Sunday, March 25th, 2001 it would be the last time that they would be at the Shrine Auditorium, a home that had served them well on-and-off over the years. Next year, the Academy Awards would be in their new permanent home at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.
