BURBANK, CA - The Academy of Red Carpet Vendors ® said shortages of
Red Carpet #902 is set to put a wrinkle in this year's Oscars ® awards ceremony.
"The vending of red carpet is not commerce but a blend of art and science," said Academy spokesperson Brian Granger. "The Oscars ® red carpet is assigned an official Pantone ® color and the Emmys ® use a completely different shade of red. Unfortunately, the explosion of new awards ceremonies has created a demand for
Red Carpet #902 that vastly exceeds our manufacturing capability, not to mention viewer interest. In the past few years alone, we've seen an explosion of new awards shows. Organizers of
The Indies,
The Slammys, and
The Screamies all clamor for the exact same thing:
Red Carpet #902, or as the saying goes: you know, the one that makes my show look most like the Oscars ®."
The red carpet shortage is the latest setback in what promised to be a televised awards ceremony featuring celebrities both walking down and accepting awards on
Red Carpet #902. Not all celebrities will be affected. Recipients of
Best Actor ®,
Best Actress ® and
Best Motion Picture ® will stride gracefully on Academy ® official
Red Carpet #902. However, those receiving awards for supporting roles and awards for foreign language and documentary films will be forced to make do with
Red Carpet #901, originally designed for Target ® store aisles. Unlike #902,
Red Carpet #901 is produced in sufficient quantities to satisfy even the least culturally relevant awards shows.
Strong demand for Academy ®
Red Carpet #902 from new shows like
The Streamys,
The Webbys, and
The Redundies has placed unprecedented demand on #902, leading directly to this year's shortage.
