VS stars arriving Oscars 2002 STORYLINE: AND THE WINNER IS...NEW YORK Could Oscar be moving to New York? The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and a group of New York leaders have been talking about moving part of next year's Academy Awards show to New York City to help the city recover from the Sept. 11 terror attacks. The group of New Yorkers - including Gov. George Pataki, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Miramax Films Co-Chairman Harvey Weinstein - asked the academy to consider bringing at least a portion of the March 23 event to New York. The academy is seriously considering the idea as a one-time nod to New York, academy President Frank Pierson told The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times. He said an early proposal from Weinstein to move the entire show to New York was "out of the question" because the show is a Hollywood staple and because of the academy's contractual obligations. He said any decisions would have to come after a producer is selected for next year's show, most likely by next month. The Oscars ceremony returned to Hollywood last year for the first time since 1960, to its new home at the Kodak Theatre. For years the event was held at the Shrine Auditorium and the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in downtown Los Angeles.
