Oscars 2023: Why will there be no red carpet this year?

For the first time since 1961, the Academy Awards will be without its iconic red carpet.

That's because, this year, the Oscars has opted for stars to strut their stuff down a carpet with a champagne hue.

The move breaks away from the 62-year tradition and is down to the Academy wanting a "soothing" colour for the event.

British and Irish actors are gearing up for the ceremony tonight in Los Angeles.
