Red thing on Oscar night (6)

I believe the answer is:

carpet

(Other definitions for carpet that I've seen before include "Reprimand, reprove" , "Be on this floor covering to be reprimanded" , "Reprimand severely" , "On the ......- getting a ticking-off" , "Tear into - floor covering" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
