Longtime Los Angeles Times photographers Al Seib and Jay Clendenin assess the 2020 setup.
To longtime Academy Awards photographer Al Seib, the Oscars red carpet is Hollywood’s own 405 Freeway.
And in the middle, there’s even a carpool lane, reserved for security and A-listers who need to get from Point A to Point B in good time.This Sunday, however, the crimson road to the Dolby Theatre will operate a little differently. A shimmering gold partition running nearly the entire length of the carpet will separate the famous attendees from others.
Seib is optimistic, however, that the new fan setup — in closer proximity to the carpet — will encourage more celebrity-fan interactions. And then, of course, there’s the weather, which has turned out to be rather dismal for Oscar Sunday, with gray skies and some rain. When it comes to battling the elements on Hollywood’s biggest night , Seib has on occasion seen flooded, squishy carpets and drenched news crews.
