Her diagnosis was confirmed by her spokesperson to the Associated Press hours before the red carpet started on Sunday, March 12. Close, 75, was set to present the Academy Award for Best Picture with Harrison Ford. It was designed to be an Air Force One reunion ahead of the blockbuster film’s 26th anniversary in July.

Ford will present the award to one of the 10 films nominated for the coveted prize at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood in Los Angeles. The nominees include All Quiet on the Western Front, Avatar: The Way of Water, The Banshees of Inisherin, Elvis, Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Fabelmans, Tár, Top Gun: Maverick, Triangle of Sadness and Women Talking.

Though red carpets and awards shows have returned in full force, the coronavirus pandemic still affects the big events. Close’s absence comes two months after many stars missed the Critics’ Choice Awards after testing positive. Jamie Lee Curtis and Colin Farrell were among the stars to miss the January festivities.

“F—K COVID! Sadly, this head cheerleader is not going to be at all the weekend festivities cheering on her friends and colleagues. Life on life’s terms,” the Everything Everywhere All at Once actress, 64, wrote alongside a picture of three tests with positive results at the time. “I’m glad that there are all these home tests available so that I didn’t go to the @americanfilminstitute lunch and spread my germs.”

Curtis is expected to attend the Oscars and walk the red carpet — which isn’t going to be red this year. The 94th annual Academy Awards has a champagne carpet.

Farrell, meanwhile, revealed he has an important guest with him at the show — son Henry, 12. “My youngest fellow will be my plus one. So the two of us are wearing the same tuxedos and we’re looking forward to it,” the Ireland native, 46, told IndieWire earlier this month.

Jackson, Dwayne Johnson, Michael B. Jordan and Zoe Saldaña.

The 95th annual Academy Awards are being hosted by Jimmy Kimmel and will air live on ABC Sunday, March 12, at 8 p.m. ET.

Red Carpet Date! Sophia Bush and Grant Hughes Attend WHCA Dinner

Finding The One! Sophia Bush has kept her romance with Grant Hughes relatively private since the pair were first spotted together in Malibu in May 2020. However, the FocusMotion Health founder has shared a few photos of the couple. Ever since landing the role of Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill in 2003, Bush’s personal life has made headlines. That is something that the actress and activist has intentionally changed, she explained in June 2021. “It’s hard to have nothing that’s yours. And when you are a person who lives in the public eye, everybody wants to pick over everything and that can be really tricky,” the False Positive actress told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I also grew up in the early aughts when girls were raked over the coals for any choices that they made. And I just was like, ‘I don’t think I like this.’ I didn’t like having my private life lied about. There were times where someone would send through an article and be like, ‘Well, supposedly you’re dating t...
