Can one wear tall boots on the Oscars Red Carpet?

THIS, my dears, is quite the conundrum. I can’t recall in recent history that this has happened. And I’m going to have to say … the envelope please… (visualize a very glittery envelope being passed) no. Tall boots are not red carpet appropriate.

And especially no if there becomes a “mani-cam” for boots … the “bootie-cam?” I despise the mani-cam and, well, the bootie-cam could just get all kinds of confusing.
