Problems are continuing to pile up for this year’s Oscars ceremony, the showpiece TV event of the awards season.
A Star Is Born is Cooper’s directorial debut, and has been nominated for eight Oscars, including a best actor nod for Cooper, best actress for Gaga, and best adapted screenplay.
Meanwhile, Cooper has revealed that he was “embarrassed” after not being nominated for the best director Oscar.
However, that appears to have meant a break with the Oscar tradition of the previous year’s winners presenting the acting awards.
