While the Academy has tried to avoid setbacks at the Oscars with a crisis committee, there will always be last-minute issues. The 95th awards ceremony was left without a presenter for the night’s top award: Best Film.
As reported by Deadline, Glenn Close will not be able to attend the most important event in Hollywood because he tested positive for COVID-19. The actress would present nothing less than the top award alongside Harrison Ford.
The Academy didn’t reveal whether it will be looking for a last-minute replacement for Close, who would star with Ford in one of those mythical bouts the organization has enjoyed in recent years. in this case ‘Air Force One (The President’s Plane)’ by Wolfgang Petersen.
THE list of Oscar presenters it’s quite spectacular. On stage at the Dolby Theater we will see artists such as Antonio Banderas, Pedro Pascal, Jessica Chastain, Halle Bailey, Nicole Kidman, Florence Pugh, Andrew Garfield, Sigourney Weaver, Dwayne Johnson, Michael B. Jordan, Jonathan Majors, Riz Ahmed , Jennifer Connelly , Salma Hayek, Hugh Grant and many others. Jimmy Kimmel will be the master of ceremonies.
Lady Gaga yes, Tom Cruise no
The gala will also see performances by Best Song nominees, including “Hold My Hand” from “Top Gun: Maverick.” Lady Gaga, who in principle should have attended the ceremony only as a guest but would not have acted, ended up confirming her participation in the gala at the last minute. Good breaking news that will compensate for the fact that Tom Cruise will not be present at the gala because he is already busy filming ‘Mission Impossible 8’ in Europe. ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ didn’t have many options, but despite this, Cruise was one of the most sought after at the nominees dinner, and it’s a shame he didn’t close the great career that his film has had, especially at the box office, all at the Oscars.
