The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences rolled out the Oscars red carpet Wednesday during a traditional event that hosted media, crew, show insiders and host Jimmy Kimmel. Returning for his third outing as host, Kimmel came quick with the jokes upon seeing that the red carpet this year isn’t actually red.
“I’m thrilled, I’m honored, I’m excited, mostly about the carpet. I mean, this carpet is so beautiful. It’s a remnant, we got it for a very good price downtown,” quipped Kimmel of the carpet that measures 900 linear feet. “People have been asking if there’s going to be any trouble this year, is there going to be any violence this year? I certainly hope not. But if there is, I think the decision to go with a champagne carpet rather than a red carpet shows how confident we are that no blood will be shed.
