For the first time in more than 60 years, one of the most important symbols of the Oscars has disappeared

For the first time in 62 years, the Oscars ceremony carpet will not be red.
The agency pointed out that a lot of things have changed about the Oscars over the years, but during the past six decades there has been one constant that has not changed: the red carpet.
However, on Wednesday, outside the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, workers unearthed a faded champagne carpet, while Jimmy Kimmel, who hosts the 95th Academy Awards on Sunday, watched on.
“I think choosing a champagne carpet instead of a red carpet shows how confident we are that there will be no bloodshed,” Kimmel said.
The decision to change the color came from innovation consultants Lisa Love and Raul Avila.
The history of the Oscars red carpet dates back to 1961, which witnessed the 33rd Academy Awards, in which Billy Wilder’s “The Apartment” won the Best Picture award, and Burt Lancaster and Elizabeth Taylor won the Best Actor and Actress awards, hosted by Bob Hope.
The public did not see the red carpet on television until 1966, when the Academy Awards were first televised in color.
