Spread of Covid-19 at British Academy Awards – BAFTA Awards earlier this month has raised concerns that some of London’s Oscar nominees will not be attending the American Academy Awards on Friday night. March 28.
According to press reports in the US, the discussions at the American Producers Guild Awards nominees’ breakfast last weekend were largely devoted to concerns that the BAFTA Awards at the Royal Albert Hall in London on March 13 was a Covid-19 superbroadcast event.
One of the attendees, who tested positive for Covid-19 a few days after the ceremony, told THR: “It looks like the weekend may have been a big event.”
Another claimed: “Literally everyone I speak to right now says they have been infected.”
Many of the attendees of the ceremony were also present at many entertainment industry parties over the weekend that were not organized by the British Film Academy. A large number of the guests also traveled from other countries and probably stayed in hotels, took taxis and ate in restaurants.
The director-producer of the film “Belfast” Kenneth Branagh and its protagonist, Kieran Heinz, tested positive for the cornea virus.
Phil Lord and Chris Miller, producers of the Oscar-nominated sci-fi comedy “The Mitchells vs the Machines,” also contracted the virus, as did the National Geographic team behind “The Rescue.”
A negative antigen test was required to enter the ceremony, but the use of a mask was not mandatory. Attendees of the Oscars must take two PCR tests and guests are required to wear masks.
