UPI Photo Archive: Oscar glamour through the years (65 images)

The Academy Awards have historically been an event for actors to wear their most elegant looks with hopes of taking home film's highest honors. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no red carpet in 2020 and this year, the Oscars will be presented like a film itself. Here's a look at some red carpet moments from our archive.
