If you remember Jumanji, you probably remember the actor and comedian Kevin Hart. So he turned down the role of host at the 2019 Oscars after his old offensive tweets and comments about the LGBT society received intense attention. As a result, this year the Ceremony will be held without a host at all.
The last time Oscar was left without a presenter was in 1989, when Rob Lowe 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 shown 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 footage during the loudest and most glamorous event of the year.
During Red Carpet Live you will see all the stars in all their glory, and it is quite possible our beautiful supermodel Irina Shayk, who will certainly come to support her husband Bradley Cooper (Earlier, Irina was present at the Golden Globe with Bradley, which caused a great stir from the press, and overshadowed many stars with their unmatched appearance. This was Irina's first appearance at the Golden Globe and it was her birthday - January 6).
Red Carpet Live will be broadcast live on Twitter for the first time at 15:30 PST (02:30 Moscow time on the night of February 24-25). This year, fans watching Oscars All Access: Red Carpet Live can also post questions for the nominees and artists via Twitter using #OscarsAllAccess to be able to ask them in real time.
Red Carpet Live is the only Oscar show to have a direct conversation with viewers. Do not miss the opportunity to the whole world to voice your question to your favorite star.

What is the dress code for the 2019 ceremony
A large concentration of white suits and white ties is expected on the red carpet this year.
Where will be the presentation of the film award
The 91st Oscars in 2019 will take place at Dolby Hollywood's Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, as has been the case for the past 18 years since 2002. The annual event hosts an average of 3400 guests.
The award will be televised live on Sunday 24 February at 5:00 pm Los Angeles time on ABC (04:00 GMT).The ceremony will be broadcast live in over 225 countries and territories around the world.
How to qualify for the award 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 extremely exclusive and are usually reserved for invited guests. You cannot buy tickets.
The good news is that you can get them for free! If you really try. Spending Sunday 24 February on the world's most famous red carpet is one chance of a lifetime.
In the past, stargazers would literally camp on the sidewalk to get a first-come, first-served seat.
But locals and companies, as well as city officials and pedestrians, were tired of these camp micro-cities clogging the sidewalks days before the Oscars.
So the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences organized the lottery system.
3 Ways to Get Free 2019 Oscar Tickets
First way: The Academy itself handed out free tickets - bleacher seats - to 700 lucky ones. The lottery was officially running from December 3 to December 12, 2018. The winners of the Oscars Red Carpet Fan Experience were notified by email on January 21, 2019.
Tickets for the free podium have no monetary value and cannot be sold or transferred to anyone else. To enter the free grandstand, it is imperative that you have a photo ID with you.
Second way: The Oscar's official sponsor, People magazine, ran its own free ticket competition in early December, which won 86 more seats.
The three winners received the grand prize, which includes airfare and hotel accommodation in addition to grandstand seating. Forty participants who took second place, in addition to tickets to the podium, also received "luxury bags". The prizes have a retail value of $ 3,700 (for the main prize) and $ 1,000 (for prize winners). The winners were notified by email and / or telephone on December 17th.
The gift bag may contain some sunglasses, cosmetics, and magazines. Plus a few snacks.
Sometimes a makeup and massage session is played out to feel like a real star ahead of the Academy Awards.
Third Method: AMC Theaters in America is providing its Stubs Rewards to attendees to win stands. This competition is a little more difficult.
The five lucky ones (and one guest) will receive round-trip air tickets, hotel stays and red carpet seats.
The competition was held for US residents in most states who are 21 years old and who are active participants in the AMC Stubs loyalty program. The competition ended on December 28th.
According to The Gold Knight, roughly 20,000 enter these contests every year.
Every year, fans from all over the world come with special tickets to stand on the red carpet along the 500-foot stretch of Hollywood Boulevard.
What to Expect at 91 Film Awards
In no other place on the planet will you see such a concentration of Hollywood stars gathered at one time in one place.
It's a dream-day, a flash-day and you will be a part of this world: the day will be filled with an army of TV reporters, an exclusive display of unrealistically expensive dresses, chic tuxedos, polished smiles and incessant cheers.
You will be able to see the stars close enough to wave them. Don't count on autographs or personal interactions. Seats in the stands begin to fill up in the early morning, while the stars arrive on the red carpet from about 14.00. Half an hour before the start of the award, a beep is heard, notifying the stars of the imminent start of the ceremony, and everyone rushes to the theater to take their places.
Getting the coveted seat in these free open-air bleachers is one of the easiest and most challenging tasks in the world. On the one hand, it costs you practically nothing, on the other hand, the percentage of your chances is practically zero.
But if you do, over 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 meticulous process. Also, you must present your full ID.
If you pass the security check, you will receive a ticket with photo ID.
Once you've hit the podium, be ready to scream with all your might to grab the attention of your favorite Hollywood stars.
Stars on the red carpet
By the way, it won't be so easy to spot the stars, because, for example, all men will be dressed in formal tuxedos, which means that everyone will be very similar, and distinguishing one face from another from the endless stream of stars emerging from the endless stream of limousines will be a task a certain complexity.
Some celebrities may 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 leave the red carpet and the ceremony itself begins, you can go home to watch the ceremony on your TV screen. Or you can stay in the podium and watch the Oscars on a giant screen in a nearby theater, such as historic El Capitan.
Theater entrance usually includes free popcorn and a buffet dinner.
