Earlier in this year’s awards seasons, nominees and presenters Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Jamie Lee Curtis were absent from the Critics Choices Awards after they tested positive for the virus.
Proof of Covid testing and vaccination, along with mask requirements, were not this year required by some film awards ceremonies, while the Globes and the Critics Choice Awards did require either testing, proof of vaccination or both.
For this year’s Oscars, media were required to test but did not need to provide proof of vaccination. Those seated for the show inside the Dolby in the orchestra or first balcony also had to test.
