Celebrities talk about what they've missed this awards season
NEW YORK (Reuters) - This year's Hollywood awards season has swapped the buzzing red carpets and swanky parties for empty auditoriums and celebrities joining ceremonies virtually from home.
ACTRESS GAL GADOT:
ACTOR RIZ AHMED:
"There's something quite grounding and humbling about it ... swanning around from glamorous party to glamorous party, you do an interview where people are patting you on the back and then you’ve got to go and do the laundry and go and do the dishes and just get on with your daily life."
"I will miss that sense of camaraderie that you do get with award ceremonies and the ability to share a particular moment of cinematic history with the other people involved in that year. That’s always a very rewarding experience. But that is not to be this year."
ACTRESS KATHERINE HEIGL:
ACTOR MADS MIKKELSEN:
ACTRESS CYNTHIA ERIVO:
"I miss being able to look a person in the eye, face-to-face, in-person and say, 'Well done and I've missed you. I haven't seen you for ages, how are you?' And sometimes those awards are really the only place that we get to do that because we're everywhere."
"It's strange to celebrate online. Luckily, I have a great family and great close friends who can come by and drink champagne with me occasionally."
ACTRESS MARSAI MARTIN:
"I miss the energy and the love on red carpets and getting to see people that I don't usually see. ... And I love getting dressed and being all girly and cute. But ... during Zoom I can wear sweats and all that, and it's good - the pros and cons."
