Richard E Grant News

Can You Ever Forgive Me star Richard E Grant said he was ‘living the dream’ as he joined the stars gathering for the annual Oscars Nominees’ Luncheon at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles.

Lady Gaga, Glenn Close, Amy Adams, Regina King and Rachel Weisz were just some of the A-list faces in attendance.

Richard tweeted delightedly “You’ll understand why I am blurred and enduring ‘Smiling-rictus’ syndrome after meeting all these folk at the Academy Awards Nominees lunch today!!!” and posted a number of selfies where he was pressing the flesh with the Hollywood great and good.

He followed up by saying “This is now getting beyond ‘pinch yourself’ – more like ‘punch yourself ’ SwaziGuy!!!! Living the dream.”

Richard is nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category for his performance in literary comedy Can You Ever Forgive Me?

He plays flamboyant drug dealer Jack Hock, who is drawn into a plot to forge and sell letters purportedly written by famous authors but in fact ghosted by washed-up writer Lee Israel (Melissa McCarthy.)

The film, based on the true exploits of Lee Israel, has been nominated for dozens of awards and currently holds a 98% positive review status on Rotten Tomatoes. The real Jack Hock was according to Israel only a minor figure in her forgery scam.

This year’s Academy Award ceremony – The 91st – will take place on February 24th. Unusually, the show will not rely on one presenter, instead employing a rotating cast of comperes including British star Daniel Craig
