They didn’t!

They saw how popular the E! red carpets were that they decided to do it themselves. I think they originally wanted to secure specific arrivals for themselves and no one else, but I don't think they ever succeeded at doing that.

Yes, I know that. I’m just questioning the point of doing it. One hour of an absolute pointless pre taped red carpet interviews.

This pre-show award thing is terrible.

Yeah. They were going to do that. The winners are being melded into the show itself, not the pre-show.

Instead of showing the winners the producers preferred to show one hour of pre taped arrivals that everyone had already seen on E! and other networks…
