Is it all glitz and glamour on the red carpet?
This hasnt always been easy.
Heres an example of one of mine.
Attendees walk from one end to the other, staging fresh and spontaneous interviews every few yards.
And, of course, even when they do arrive, their focus isnt entirely on the press line.
This is particularly true of awards shows, but is even the case with film premieres.
As a result, its difficult to prepare any meaningful questions before the event.
or the perennial classic did you do your own stunts?
And while personally, I find the question of clothing particularly dull, it does serve a purpose.
The reasonBuzzfeeds reporter got such strange looks was because she asked what are you wearing?
while the standard format for the question is the somewhat nonsensical, who are you wearing?
Of course, while this is a general rule, its not hard and fast.
On bigger red carpets, for world premieres and award ceremonies, the number of media outlets multiplies threefold.
There are limited spaces, and publicists need to be certain of coverage.
And this is the crux of the issue.
Tweet, Facebook, Tumblr and e-mail the living shit out of it.
Believe me when I say that every single hit helps.
And maybe, eventually, if were very lucky, it might just wither away and die.
