Here's what the Red Carpet looked like early this morning inside the Kodak Theatre. (Note: They still had the protective wrap over it)
From the street, the Red Carpet setup looks like this. As you can see, they have SHUT DOWN the entire Hollywood Walk of Fame for the event!
And what's this?! A MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL truck at The Oscars?! Since The Kodak theater does not have enough room behind the scenes to accommodate a TV Control Room, the folks at The Academy Awards hire the creative minds over at Monday Night Football to bring their live sateliete trucks in! Inside the truck is a fully functional control room, which is where the director will call the shots on Oscar Night!
The most exciting part of the Red Carpet event is watching all of the hosts come in early on Oscar morning to rehearse. Although a majority of Red Carpet shows are unscripted, show producers like to plan as much as possible. A lot of hard work goes into making the Red Carpet look great on TV!
As celebrities arrive at The Oscars, they will encounter a swarm of paparazzi. Shortly after they are blinded by all the lights, they will make their way down the carpet to be interviewed on all of the entertainment shows.
After celebrities have their chat with the press, they continue their journey towards the theater. They will walk up the Grand Staircase which brings them to the entrance of the Kodak. Along the way, they will pass panels on either side of them, which highlight the Best Picture winners from each year The Academy Awards were held.
Their entire walk - from start to finish - is filmed for a global audience to see!
When the arrive at the top of the staircase, here is what they see as the enter the Kodak!
That's all for now! Be sure to stop back after The Oscars to see my next blog post!
