And we mean this literally. Water is pooling on tents and workers are trying to keep them from collapsing:

And it’s still coming down!

It's a good thing there's a tent over the #redcarpet because a heavy round of rain just moved over #Hollywood. @RobertNBCLA will have reports with the stars on @nbcla. #Oscars pic.twitter.com/9QYUW1gz5b
