Hey, Emily?

Blunt addressed Tuesday's reported ban on women's flat shoes on the red carpet while speaking during a press conference for her film "Sicario," calling the move "very disappointing."
"Everyone should wear flats to be honest," Blunt said (via Variety). "We shouldn't be wearing high heels anyways. That's my point of view. I just prefer wearing Converse sneakers. That's very disappointing."
"Sicario" director Denis Villenueve agreed.
"As a sign of protest, Benicio [del Toro], Josh [Brolin] and I will walk the stairs in high heels tonight," he said — perhaps joking, perhaps not, about the show of solidarity.
The controversy was cobbled together Tuesday when Screen Daily reported that red-carpet security had put its foot down regarding appropriate footwear, turning away women who were wearing fancy flats instead of high heels.

Hey, Emily?
Turn them away?
Cannes will get enormously bad publicity for losing the presence of some major stars over some stupid little rule.
And the stars will be the toast of the town for their principled stand.
This is a no-brainer -- why on earth would ANYONE wear high-heels to this?
Down with the film industry.
I’ve always liked her.
Wow, they certainly have their priorities in order. That’s got to be one of the biggest problems on the world stage right now.
Someone’s lesbianism is showing.
Nobody is more surprised than her husband.
Because no LBGTQRSTUVWXYZ ever wore a beard...
Maybe she’s straight just catering to the bull dyke crowd for ticket sales. But heels sort of go with events like this. And no one forces her to attend. It’s like telling a man that a suit and tie are bad to wear at a wedding.
Not Guilty.
Hey if male biceps are a turn on for you, who am I to judge? ;)
I’ve never worn heels, and I doubt if I ever will. It’s beyond me why they are even considered attractive.
There are perfectly nice flats that do not cause foot and leg damage. I stick with those.
Is she an Obama fan? Then she has absolutely no right to complain because obviously Islamo Nazism and their enslavement of women is perfectly acceptable to her. I’m going to say she is because it’s usually the Obama fans who scream the most about feminist issues while acting like crickets as Islamo Nazis rape little girls.
Oh yes, how about that, she has a crush on him......

Outside of the muscular arms, pretty sweet.
Converse sneakers? I thought those were for basketball players. Who she think she is...Wilt Chamberlain?
i love high heels... and i mean high... i wear comfortable ones... walk, dance... always with a platform—or a wedge... i have lots of pretty flats too...
What a ridiculous rule
