So so cool!!! In the publishing world this is blurbs, where you can slap on the cover something like "Stephen King said this book rocked!" or whatever.

I honeymooned at the Cannes Film Festival waaaaay back in 1984 (Paris, Texas won the Palme d'Or). The carpet was cheap and thin then, too.

Can anyone comment on the quality of the red carpets for the Oscars or comparable awards events?

Now that I'm thinking about it, the thin, chintzy carpet in Cannes is very French. Translate that as you will. ;-)
