The 2023 Oscars are coming tomorrow! Known as Hollywood’s biggest night, the star-studded event is set to take place March 12 at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. The anticipation for the 95th Academy Awards isn’t just for the ceremony itself, of course, but also for the pre-show red carpet proceedings, where celebrities show up dressed in brand-new attire. And we have a fun fact for you: the red carpet will actually be champagne this year! Here’s some info on the 2023 Oscars red carpet and how to watch or stream it — with or without cable.
When does the 2023 Oscars red carpet start? What channel is the Oscars red carpet on?

Why isn’t the carpet red at the Oscars?
For the first time, the Oscars 2023 carpet will not be red. Instead, it will be the color of champagne. The organizers wanted to “reimagine” the event this year with a different vibe; they liked the champagne because it’s a soft, soothing color that wouldn’t clash with an orange tent pitched for attendees.
