If you remember Jumanji, you probably remember the actor and comedian Kevin Hart. So he refused the role of the host at the Oscars-2019 Award Ceremony after his old offensive tweets and comments about the LGBT society received vivid attention. As a result, this year the ceremony will be held without a host.
The last time Oscar was left without a presenter in 1989, when Rob Low sang a duet with Snow White and this ceremony was remembered by everyone as the most shameful.
Red Carpet Red Carpet Live
The red carpet will be available as part of the Red Carpet Live program. 10 cameras will be installed along the red carpet, providing fans with the best views and breathtaking shots during the loudest and most glamorous event of the year.
During Red Carpet Live, you will see all the stars in all its glory, and it is quite possible that our beautiful supermodel Irina Shayk, who will surely come to support her husband Bradley Cooper (Earlier, Irina was present at the Golden Globe with Bradley, which caused great excitement from the press, and eclipsed many stars with their incomparable appearance. This was the first appearance of Irina on the Golden Globe and it was her birthday - January 6).
For the first time, Red Carpet Live will be broadcast live on Twitter at 15:30 PST (02.30 Moscow time on the night of February 24 to 25). Twitter live streaming will be available at https://twitter.com/theacademy or via @TheAcademy. This year, fans watching Oscars All Access: Red Carpet Live broadcast can also send questions for nominees and artists via Twitter using #OscarsAllAccess to get the opportunity to ask them in real time.
Red Carpet Live is the only Oscar show to have a direct conversation with the audience. Do not miss the opportunity for the whole world to voice your question to your favorite star.

How to get a prize in 2019
Invitations are reserved for nominees and their guests, as well as media representatives, journalists and industry representatives. The bad news is that these tickets are exclusively exclusive and are usually intended for guests invited. You cannot buy tickets.
The good news is that you can get them for free! If you really try. Spending Sunday February 24th on the most famous red carpet in the world is one chance for a lifetime.
In the past, star watchers literally set up camp on the sidewalk to get a place in turn.
But local residents and companies, as well as city authorities and pedestrians are tired of the fact that these camp micro-cities clogged the sidewalks a few days before the Oscars.
So the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences organized a lottery system.
3 Ways to Get Free Oscar Tickets 2019
First way: The Academy itself handed out free tickets - bleacher seats - to 700 lucky ones. The lottery was officially held from December 3 to 12, 2018. The winners of the Oscars Red Carpet Fan Experience were notified by email on January 21, 2019.
Tickets for a free grandstand have no monetary value; they cannot be sold or transferred to anyone. To enter the free tribune, you must have with you an identity card with a photo.
The second way: Oscar's official sponsor, People Magazine, hosted its own free ticket contest in early December, during which 86 more places were awarded.
Three winners received the main prize, which includes air tickets and hotel accommodation in addition to the seats for the stands. Forty participants who took second place, in addition to tickets to the podium, also received “luxury bags”. The retail value of the prizes is estimated at $ 3,700 (for the main prize) and $ 1,000 (for prize winners). Winners were notified by email and / or telephone on December 17th.
A gift bag can have several sunglasses, cosmetics, and magazines. Plus a few snacks.
Sometimes a make-up and massage session is played out to feel like a real star before the Oscars.
Third Way: Cinema chain in America AMC Theaters provides Stubs Rewards awards to win grandstand seats. This contest is a little trickier.
Five lucky (and one guest) will receive round-trip tickets, hotel accommodation and seats on the red carpet.
The competition was held for residents of the United States in most states, which turned 21 years old and who are active participants in the loyalty program AMC Stubs. The competition ended on December 28th.
According to The Gold Knight, approximately 20,000 participate in such contests every year.
Every year, fans from all over the world come on special tickets to stand on the carpet in the section of Hollywood Boulevard, which is 500 feet long (~ 150 meters).
What to expect from a 91 film award ceremony
In no other place on the planet will you ever see such a concentration of Hollywood stars collected at one time in one place.
This is a dream day, a flash day and you will be part of this world: the day will be filled with an army of television reporters, an exclusive display of unbelievably expensive dresses, chic tuxedos, polished smiles and unceasing shouts of greeting.
You can see the stars close enough to wave them. Do not count on an autograph or personal communication. The seats in the stands begin to fill up in the early morning, while the stars arrive on the red carpet at about 2 p.m. Half an hour before the start of the award, a beep sounds to notify the stars about the imminent start of the ceremony and everyone rushes to the theater to take their places.
Getting the coveted seat in these free, open bleachers is one of the easiest and most challenging tasks in the world. On the one hand, it costs you virtually nothing; on the other hand, the percentage of your chances is practically reduced to zero.
But if you do, more than 40 million people can see your face.
However, if you win, be prepared for a very long process.
First of all, everyone must go through a thorough security check. This is a very rigorous process. You must also present your full ID.
If you pass the security check, you will receive a ticket with photo ID.
If you already got to the podium, be prepared to scream with all your might to attract the attention of your favorite Hollywood stars.
Stars on the red carpet
By the way, it will not be so easy to look out for stars, because, for example, all men will be dressed in official tuxedos, which means they will all be very similar, and distinguishing one face from another from an endless stream of stars emerging from an endless stream of limousines will be a task a certain complexity.
Some celebrities can wave and smile at you, others will be surrounded by reporters. There are those who, when leaving the limousine, will immediately go directly to the entrance of the theater, ignoring everyone and everything.
When all the stars diverge from the red carpet and the Ceremony itself begins, you can go home to watch the ceremony from the TV screen. Or you can stay on the podium and watch Oscars on a giant screen in a nearby theater, for example, in the historic El Capitan.
Entrance to the theater usually includes free popcorn and a buffet dinner.
