Summary
- Ridley Scott will miss the Governors Awards ceremony due to recovery.
- He will accept his honorary Oscar via a prerecorded speech.
- Scott's family will attend the Los Angeles event in his stead.
Ridley Scott, the acclaimed 88-year-old director, will not be present in person to receive his honorary Oscar at this year's Academy Governors Awards. He recently underwent a minor medical procedure last week and is currently recovering in London, with his doctors advising against travel.
Scott recorded his acceptance speech in advance, which will be played during the ceremony. His family, including his wife, children, and grandchildren, are still scheduled to attend the event in Los Angeles and will accept the honor on his behalf.
The filmmaker, known for classics like 'Alien' and 'Gladiator,' has earned four Oscar nominations throughout his nearly five-decade career. The Governors Awards will also honor actress Glenn Close and animator Floyd Norman with honorary Oscars.
