Actress Glenn Close will not be attending the Oscars after she tested positive for Covid-19.
The 75-year-old actress was among more than 40 other Hollywood stars who were due to present an award this evening.
A representative for the actress told the Associated Press that she was currently isolating and resting.
All of the attendees for tonight’s Oscars ceremony at the Dolby Theatre are required to test for Covid-19.
Here are the films with the most Oscar nominations:
- Everything Everywhere All at Once - 11
- All Quiet on the Western Front - 9
- The Banshees of Inisherin - 9
- Elvis - 8
- The Fabelmans - 7
- Top Gun: Maverick - 6
- Tar - 6
- Black Panther: Wakanda Forever - 5
- Avatar: The Way of Water - 4
A full list of the nominations can be found here.
To Colin's point - the decision to go from red to champagne-coloured has been met with mixed reviews.
In a thinly veiled reference to the Will Smith slap heard around the world last year, the host of this year's show, Jimmy Kimmel, joked: “I think the decision to go with a champagne carpet rather than a red carpet shows how confident we are that no blood will be shed."
I'll be bringing you updates from the Oscars winner's room tonight in the Dolby theatre here in Hollywood.
For the first time in history, the red carpet is not red.
Officially it is champagne. When I was down there last night the word beige was being bandied about a lot. As were comparisons with your grandma's front hall.
The Oscars first introduced a red carpet for the 33rd Awards in 1961.
The decision to change the red carpet this year was made by a red carpet creative consultant. Lisa Love explained that a “champagne”-coloured carpet would help with “the change from daytime arrivals to an elegant evening setting”.
News presenters are simply never going to say: “Let’s cross live to the champagne carpet.”
I would like to predict here and now, that the red carpet will be back next year. In fact, Will Smith has more chance of returning to the Oscars than this carpet, which simply puts the “no” into Champagne Supernova.
