Entertainment Weekly first reported.Ford, who was announced as one of the show’s presenters on Wednesday, is doing okay and resting after the diagnosis, the outlet reported.The Mayo Clinic describes shingles as a non-life-threatening viral infection that causes a painful rash.Shingles occurs years after a person gets the varicella-zoster virus, which is the same virus that causes chickenpox.After a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus hides in their nerves and can reactivate as shingles later in life.On Feb. 23, Ford appeared to be in good spirits when he was spotted at the Screen Actors Guild Awards alongside his “Shrinking” castmates.In a clip from the ceremony, he jokingly interrupted the opening introduction of his co-star Jessica Williams and received a big laugh from the audience.Ford was nominated for outstanding performance by a male actor for the comedy series about a blunt, grieving therapist but lost the SAG Award to Martin Short, who stars in the Hulu hit series “Only Murders in the Building.”“Shrinking” was also nominated for the SAG Award’s best ensemble in a comedy series but the show, once again, lost to “Only Murders in the Building.”The “Star Wars” star was newly announced to present at the Academy Awards with stars like Gal Gadot, Andrew Garfield, Samuel L.

Consequently, both voted instead for The Brutalist‘s Adrien Brody (who did win an Oscar for The Pianist).Obviously, Academy voters often get things wrong.

Funny Face Bakery is serving up sugar cookies that look just like the Hell’s Kitchen native, who is nominated for an Oscar for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in “A Complete Unknown.”They named it the “Freewheelin’ Heartthrob,” a nod to the title of Dylan’s second album, “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan,” whose cover famously features the singer and his girlfriend Suze Rotolo, played in the film by Elle Fanning, walking arm in arm on Jones Street in the West Village.Janelle Morillo, who was friends with Chalamet at LaGuardia High School, from which they graduated in 2013, loved seeing the sugary replica, which retails for $15.“This is both amazing and hilarious,” she told The Post.“I’m very happy he’s being recognized and celebrated because he has dedicated his life to his art and he truly deserves it.”The out-of-the-box bakery — which has two locations, one on Lafayette Street in NoHo and the other on Fulton Street in the Seaport — also handed out the sweet treats at the Chalamet lookalike contest, held in Washington Square Park on Oct. 27, where the actor made an appearance.The 29-year-old actor, who received his first Academy Award nomination at 22 for “Call Me by Your Name,” has another connection to the bakery — his girlfriend Kylie Jenner’s mother was its first celebrity customer.“In our early days, Kris Jenner helped put us on the map when we gifted cookies to all of her grandkids,” said Funny Face’s head of growth Olivia Nickel.“We were even featured in the final moments of the ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ series finale.

Watching his journey unfold has been incredible.”During his LaGuardia commencement, where he sang “Willkommen” from the musical “Cabaret,” the announcer said, “Your teachers describe you as the real deal.

Blackpink is making moves with her debut solo album “Alter Ego,” which was released on Friday, and she’ll perform her “Born Again” single with Doja Cat and Raye at the Academy Awards on Sunday.She’s also making a name for herself as an actress as Mook, a health mentor at the resort on Season 3 of “The White Lotus,” which was filmed in her native country of Thailand.As she gets set to take the Academy Awards stage hot off of her new LP, here’s everything you need to know about Lisa.Lisa’s real name is Lalisa Manobal, which she uses as an actress on “The White Lotus.” But she was actually born Pranpriya Manobal in Buriram. At the advice of a fortune teller when she was 13, she legally changed her name to Lalisa, which means “one who is praised.”At 13, the Thai native auditioned for the South Korean agency YG Entertainment, and after being selected as the company’s first international recruit, she moved alone from Bangkok to Seoul when she was 14 — without knowing how to speak Korean.

Will Win, Should Win: “Anora”The sensational stripper Cinderella story has won a convincing combo of lead-up prizes: The Cannes Palme d’Or, Producers Guild, Directors Guild, Writers Guild and Critics Choice. Possible upset “Conclave,” about the election of a new pope, took the BAFTA and SAG, yes, but it’s the colder, thinkier movie of the two. Will Win: Demi Moore, “The Substance”In recent years, the Oscars have loved feel-good career awards. Think Michelle Yeoh and Brendan Fraser. This would be 62-year-old Moore’s first Oscar ever, and she hasn’t been shy about that. The one thing going against G.I. Jane is the divisiveness of her body-horror flick. That could swing it to Madison or even Torres.Should Win: Mikey Madison, “Anora”The 25-year-old phenom is pure magic in a performance that, while surrounded by superb actors, carries the movie of the year.Will Win, Should Win: Timothée Chalamet, “A Complete Unknown“The 29-year-old actor winning the SAG Award felt like a big deal. Eighteen of the last 20 have gone on to win the Oscar. Yes, the also-excellent Adrien Brody of “The Brutalist” has gobbled up everything else, but those honors have been from critics and overseas voters (the Globes are more pinky-out than ever). It’s a toss-up, but I can’t help but feel that the 80% domestic Academy voters are somewhat indifferent to Brody’s movie.Will Win, Should Win: Zoe Saldana, “Emilia Pérez”“Emilia Pérez” has been hit by controversy after controversy. But well-liked Saldana has kept winning regardless. She gives an intense and deeply felt turn as a lawyer whisked on a musical (and soap-operatic) journey.

Mikey Madison. The 25-year-old actress has been garnering recognition during the 2025 award show season thanks to her critically acclaimed role in the 2024 film “Anora.”Madison took home a BAFTA for Best Actress for her portrayal of the exotic dancer Anora and was also nominated at the Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild Awards and Academy Awards.Speaking with the Los Angeles Times in December about how her life has changed since her rise to fame, the star admitted, “I think some of it doesn’t seem super genuine.”“Like old friends coming out of the woodwork.

“Arroyo Grande” podcast Raymond Arroyo told Fox News Digital.“I think most people haven’t seen any of these movies to be excited about them,” he continued, citing films like “Emilia Perez,” “Anora,” and “The Brutalist” as some of the contenders bringing in awards at other shows this season that haven’t drawn the kind of excitement from regular viewers.“‘Wicked’s’ really the only movie that’s been a box office success that’s nominated for best picture. All these other films, they’re small arthouse movies at best,” Arroyo said.Per BoxOfficeMojo, only two of the best picture nominees, “Wicked” and “Dune: Part Two,” cracked the top ten in ticket sales last year.
