In-demand Broadway set designer Derek McLane, pictured in his midtown studio, has gone Hollywood.
At least until the 85th Academy Awards telecast airs on Feb. 24.
McLane, who won a Tony for the play "33 Variations," is designing the scenery for the Oscarcast, which revolves around music of the movies.
"In terms of visibility, this is by far my biggest moment," he says, adding that Oscarcast producers Neil Meron and Craig Zadan wanted a show "that doesn't look like any other Oscar show."
He adds that Meron and Zadan encouraged him to think out-of-the-box -- or inside-the-box if that made for a fabulous effect.
Hence, McLane's glittery proscenium framing the stage. He's
tucked replicas of Oscars -- 1,051 of them -- into it. Talk about a golden arch.
For a full story on McLane's work, plus scoop from the Academy Awards show producers and choreographer Rob Ashford,
