Why there was no Oscars red carpet as Academy Awards makes history
For the first time since the ceremony’s inception the 2023 Oscars featured a non-red carpet, with the Academy instead opting for a champagne colour.
“We turned a day event into night. It’s evening, even though it’s still 3pm”, Lisa told the Associated Press. The new venue had a large stretch of concrete between the drop off and entrance, resulting in the laying of a carpet. “People have been asking ‘Is there going to be any trouble this year? Is there going to be any violence this year?’ and we certainly hope not,” he said, speaking at the carpet’s official rollout.
