To me, no greater development has highlighted the new world order in the entertainment business than Kodak's blockbuster news today: The company has asked to be released from the agreement that placed its name on the iconic theater where the Academy Awards are presented.
If you've ever been in the theater, you also know that there's a small room - the George Eastman Room - dedicated to the technical advances in filmmaking that were driven by Kodak, which as a company, has received nine Academy Awards.
Those days are over. But what's not clear is who's up next. In a universe where the creator of a computer company became the largest shareholder in the world's most iconic movie studio, it's apparent that the next power player in Hollywood may just be based in the Valley - and by that, I mean Silicon Valley.
So ... with that in mind, let's vote on some new names for the Theater-Formerly-Known-As-Kodak. If you don't see one you like here, put your nomination in the comments.
