Lin-Manuel Miranda Will No Longer Attend Oscars After Wife Tests Positive for COVID-19 - Hollywood Reporter

Lin-Manuel Miranda will no longer attend the 94th Annual Oscars on Sunday night at the Los Angeles Dolby Theatre in person after his wife tested positive for COVID-19.

The award-winning singer-songwriter announced he would miss this year’s ceremony via his Twitter Saturday afternoon. “Made it to Hollywood… This weekend, my wife tested ➕ for COVID. She’s doing fine. Kids & I have tested [positive], but out of caution, I won’t be going to the Oscars tomorrow night,” he said.

“Cheering for my TickTickBoom & Encanto families w my own family, alongside all of you, ALL of you,” he concluded in his tweet.

Miranda’s directorial debut, Tick, Tick … BOOM! is up for two Oscars at the 2022 ceremony, including Andrew Garfield’s best actor nod. Also up for the annual honors is the Disney animated film Encanto, both in the best animated feature, best original score, and best original song, the latter of which earned Miranda a nomination.

The animated film’s record-smashing song, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” is slated to be performed on the Dolby Theatre during the Sunday night ceremony, and if he wins for his work on another Encanto song’s music and lyrics (“Dos Orugutias”), the multihyphenate could become an EGOT winner.

The Academy released updated COVID-19 protocols and guidelines on Friday following a spike in positive cases among attendees at this year’s BAFTAS. According to the new protocols, “those who tested positive for COVID-19 and are within a zero to five-day window from the date of their first positive test are not permitted to attend under any circumstances,” among other requirements.

Previous protocols established on March 11 required attendees to be fully vaccinated and take two PCR tests ahead of the ceremony. Masks are still not required for attendees inside the Dolby Theatre on Sunday, but according to the Academy’s updated rules are strongly recommended, as is social distancing.

Elizabeth Hurley said it was a "nightmare" working with Matthew Perry on their 2002 film "Serving Sara," which was shot at the height of his drug addiction.  The production had to be abruptly shut down because the "Friends" star needed to enter rehab for two months.  Still, the "Royals" actress doesn’t hold it against Perry, who detailed his addiction struggles in his new memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."  Hurley recently told Yahoo! Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her
