Show to address 2022’s Slapgate incident in ‘comic fashion’

Lady Gaga will not be performing her Oscar-nominated song, Hold my hand, from Top Gun: Maverick at the 95th Academy Awards on Sunday. During the press conference on Wednesday, the creative team — which included executive producer-showrunner Glenn Weiss, executive producer-showrunner Ricky Kirshner, musical director Rickey Minor, writers Dave Boone, Nefetari Spencer and Agathe Panaretos and producer Sarah Levine Hall — also addressed the Will Smith factor.
Traditionally, the previous year’s Best Actor winner presents the Best Actress award. However, Smith, who resigned from the Academy after he slapped host Chris Rock, is banned from attending the Oscars for 10 years.
