True story - that nearly happened to Judy Garland. She was up for Best Actress for
A Star Is Born, and had just given birth to her third child the day before the Oscars. How to deliver what should have been her shoo-in win? From her hospital bed. They glammed her up in a beautiful satin bed-jacket, brought in stylists for her makeup and hair, wired her up with a microphone and got the cameras ready right there in the room. When Grace Kelly took the win for
The Country Girl, the tech guys unceremoniously and without a word yanked the wires off of poor Judy and wheeled the cameras out of the room without so much as a word.
The moral of the story? Maybe if J-Lo had any talent, that might have actually happened to her too!
