Oscar 2022 Will Smith's aggression tarnishes an Oscar gala as boring as ever
Liza Minnelli
presented, along with the
singer Lady Gaga
, the award for Best Film during the
2022 Oscar Awards
gala. To the surprise of the attendees, the actress left
the ceremony stage
in a wheelchair .
This was one of the
most moving moments
.
But all that glitters is not gold.
His friend, the singer
Michael Feinstein,
during an
interview
on
The Jess Cagle Show
on Sirius XM, has assured that "
Liza was surprised and disoriented
by all the changes and
that is why she gave the impression that something bad was happening to her but it is not like this. Liza is very well"
,
"
It was sabotaged
. She only agreed to appear at the Oscars if she was in the director's chair, because
she has had back problems,"
Feinstein revealed.
At first,
Minnelli rejected the change, but there was no time to change the production idea
.
The disagreement caused many nerves and discomfort in the artist,
who won an Oscar for her role in the film
Cabaret
.
"Liza is a legend and she deserves to be at the Academy Awards"
, declared her friend, who was unaware that the appearance of the actress would be marked by one of the
most controversial editions
in her history.
In recent years, the 76-year-old actress has suffered from
various physical ailments
and has had to go through the operating room several times to undergo surgery:
four hip replacement surgeries, three knee surgeries and one spinal operation.
Her
former press agent, Scott Gorenstein
, has told the
New York Post
that "ever since Liza was born she was pressured to act and that's why the last few years she's been
able to relax, without pressure
."
He also added that he encouraged her to
accept the invitation
from the Film Academy, made at the express request of
Lady Gaga
.
