Irish stars who are up for gongs at the Oscars will not need to be vaccinated as organisers will only insist on negative antigen tests at this year’s ceremony.
Best Supporting Actress nominee Jessie Buckley, multiple nominated Belfast director Kenneth Branagh and the cast of Belfast, as well as singer Van Morrison won’t need to show proof of vaccination at this year’s 94th Academy Awards on March 27 at the Dolby Theater.
But according to US reports, Hollywood’s biggest A-listers will have to provide a negative rapid antigen test or a negative PCR test to get onto the red carpet – but it is not yet known if masks will be a requirement at the glitzy Los Angeles event.
