Some of his LA fans said he was also announced for a screening the day before the SAG awards there so yeah, he surely will be at the ceremony! remember I was slightly worried because all those award pundits claimed they will be checking who and who wouldn’t go to SAG awards because they had a strict COVID policy and the Oscars don’t and I thought that it wasn’t fair with foreigners who are obviously vaccinated (you can’t enter the USA without the three vaccines) but they also can be easily absent if they are working in something else in their native country as BC is doing right now!

It just occurred to me that J.J. Abrams was Star Trek. Star Trek part isn’t part of Disney, is it? So it looks like different studios got together to sponsor his star.

Who knows? Maybe it’s Disney and they want him to win the Oscar but it could also be Netflix just inviting some Disney people. They already did it with Tom Holland and that TPOTD Q&A. Also remember that a few days ago Adam McKay received his star and his Netflix’s movie Don’t Look Up is also nominated.

Anyone else find it very weird/interesting that Kevin Feige is his guest speaker ? I'm not familiar with this procedure but that's...interesting/pretty cool that Benedict gets such a big figure as his guest speaker. Has Feige ever done that for any other actor ? Maybe he genuinely likes him/respects him the most out of all the actors. I'm just going to pretend that's the case .

One to receive his own star alongside The Avengers, And apparently also for Zoe Saldana but he wasn’t a speaker. According to the official site, those were James Cameron and Mila Kunis. Who knows? Maybe there are other but that’s what I found with a quick search! If that’s true then yes, it would be his first time as speaker.

They only worked together in STID and J.J. Abrams didn't cast him in the Star Wars movies, not even as a stormtrooper.
Feige changed Doctor Strange schedule for him.

Maybe JJ’s looking for work and wants to raise his profile? (God, my cynicism is in full force tonight). Or maybe because Hollywood considers STID BC’s first blockbuster? So he was there “at the beginning?”

Maybe J.J. Is planning to defrost Khan and bring Benedict back to do a sequel?

I hated Abrams when he seemed to throwing BC to the wolves because the fake polemic around the Khan character but they also seem to be friends. I remember there was a James Rhodes photo , BC’s friend, on social media of him hanging out with BC and JJ Abrams.
