We have partnered with Harpo Productions to facilitate using the Oscar set on the Oprah show on the Monday following the Academy Awards broadcast. In 2005, Oprah gave Frank McMinn and SenovvA a “shout out” during the show recognizing the LED marquee over the stage. In 2010, Oprah used the custom-built curved LED main wall as part of her show.
