WHY A RED CARPET?

In 1902 the exclusive passenger train between New York and Chicago was launched with a red carpet stretched the length of the train for boarding passengers to walk on.  The 20th Century Limited became known as the train that offered passengers the "red carpet treatment".
 
The Oscar carpet covers 16,500 square feet of space and takes 2 days to install.

The last movie I saw at a theater was the remake of "Titanic" that was released 17 years ago.  Well, I actually saw about a half hour of it before I got up and left.  I was the only person on earth who thought it was a total bore.

Needless to say, I'm about as interested in watching the Oscars as I am watching paint dry.
