Paramount Pictures Studios in Los Angeles, California

As the last major studio still located within Hollywood, the Paramount Pictures lot is full of nostalgia, history, and tons of stereotypical scenes right down to the clear views leading up to the Hollywood Sign and an array of Best Picture Academy Awards on full display.

The Paramount Pictures lot today features 30 stages, a blue sky tank, and a massive New York backlot with 10 different neighborhoods. The Paramount Pictures lot also includes the former Desilu Studios (formerly RKO) which was purchased in 1967. There are still numerous clues throughout of the movies and popular television shows that have been filmed here in the heart of Los Angeles since the initial Paramount lot was constructed on this spot in 1926.
