Red carpet not rolled out for the Oscars

From Morning Report, 7:55 am on 13 March 2023

To Hollywood, where nobody's rolling out the red carpet for the Oscars this year.

No, it's not because the event's been cancelled after controversies in recent years - from the Will Smith slap debacle, to the stinging hashtag #OscarsSoWhite movement. 

No, there's no red carpet - because a champagne-coloured carpet has been rolled out instead. 

Apparently it helps accentuate the celebrities' outfits. 

Hollywood International Filmmaker magazine's editor-in-chief Sandro Monetti spoke to Corin Dann.
