Ryan George titled this video "If Red Carpet Interviews Were Honest," but I feel it's a distillation of the different facets of the business of celebrities. One pseudo-celebrity is interviewing other celebs as they march into an awards show in a carefully choreographed way designed to fill the airwaves with hours of chitchat. Just slot in the details of whoever is hot right now for the generic patter, and you've got a set of Mad Libs going. Why are you here? To promote my new project or else to remind everyone I exist. Who are you wearing? That's both a required question and a required answer because it's an ad for whoever is providing the clothing. Next time you are tempted to actually watch a live red carpet event (if that ever happens), you'll have to laugh at how generic they really are, and how much acting goes into them.
