If only there was a time travel machine or the beam-me-up thing from “Star Trek”!
The last weekend of April is going to present some problems for the show biz crowd.
On April 27th, things will be really rough. That’s the night of the Nicole Kidman tribute in Hollywood from the American Film Institute. Most of Hollywood will be in attendance as Kidman has worked with every major player and has lots of friends. The whole cast of “Big Little Lies” would be just a beginning, not mention Hugh Grant, George Clooney, Hugh Jackman, and on and on.
The same night, the White House Correspondents Dinner takes place in Washington, DC. Although attendance from celebs has been spotty in recent years, this is an election year. The pressure will be on to turn out for Joe Biden. The WHCA hasn’t announced a host for the night yet, but the pressure is on there, as well.
Now the Film Society of New York has announced Jeff Bridges for its annual Chaplin Award. That will be given out on Monday, April 29th in New York. Bridges also has worked with every top actor and director. So his list of presenters should be a good one. Possible names would be Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jane Fonda, Karen Allen, Beau Bridges (of course), Chris Pine, Ben Foster, et al.
So fuel up the private planes!
