Ready for Hollywood’s biggest night? The 2023 Oscars take place tonight, March 12, at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. Of course, the anticipation for the 95th Academy Awards is not just for the ceremony itself, but also for the pre-show red carpet, where celebrities appear dressed to the nines. Fun fact for you: the red carpet will be really champagne colored this year! Here’s some info on the 2023 Oscars red carpet and how to watch or stream it — whether you have cable or not.

Why isn’t the carpet red at the Oscars?
For the first time, the runner at the 2023 Oscars will not be red. Instead, it will be the color of champagne. The organizers wanted to “reinvent” the event this year with a different atmosphere; they loved the champagne because it’s a soft and soothing color that wouldn’t clash with an orange tent set up for attendees.
