Since his latex face and silly accent haunted me during the entire film, I'd like to congratulate Tom Hanks for his "worst supporting actor" Razzie. Well deserved!

Here's Why the Oscars Red Carpet Won't Be Red This Year — Breaking a Decades-Old Tradition
As if the haters needed another reason to hate on the Oscars.
The red carpet is synonymous with glamorous entertainment industry parties, awards shows and premieres, but the Academy Awards are trying out something different for Sunday's 95th Oscars.
On Wednesday, host Jimmy Kimmel — who returns to the awards show this year for his third hosting gig — stood outside Los Angeles' Dolby Theater as the Academy rolled out its brand-new champagne-colored carpet, breaking a tradition of red-colored carpets that dates all the way back to the 33rd annual ceremony in 1961, according to the Associated Press.

That article just explains that they changed it to champagne but doesn’t explain why.

I was just watching ABCs Red Carpet show. They said the academy thought a lighter color was be a dramatic contrast with the red drapes.

I heard some discussion about the carpet on a news podcast last week and they said one reason might be that many of the attendees' colorful dresses would "pop" more against a muted carpet color.

It's a false story, but that won't get in the way of a Hollywood movie:

I just watched RRR and to me, it was a good movie. Surprised it wasn't nominated for Best International Film. A lot of people were surprised that the song Naatu Naatu won. To me, that song was good. Also like the dance sequence they did was great. Reminded me of musicals from the 50's.
In my opinion, Chris Rock should have been the one suspended, not Will Smith. I hate comedians that poke fun of people handicap and/or have medical conditions or illnesses. But you can see, the Academy supports them.
Back in the 90's when they suspended Richard Gere for talking bad about China, the Academy suspended him for 20 years. The Academy should apologize to him. They only claim that it was because he went off script. BS. After all, they did nothing to Jane Fonda going off script about the Vienam War.

And let's be clear here : Jada doesn't have a disability. She, like many women in their 50s is losing her hair. It happens. And she chose to deal with it by shaving her head rather than wearing a wig. Good on her, but it's very different than say, laughing at a cancer patient.
