Oscars celebrate May, Jackson, Ullmann and Glover
Academy Awards.It was a celebration, after all. They were about to get something for the first time in their long Hollywood careers: An Oscar statuette of their own.Jackson, whose right foot was in a walking cast boot and his left in a black velvet slipper, sat at the base of an oversized Oscar statuette as everyone from Quentin Tarantino to Magic Johnson came over to congratulate him.But May, the 89-year-old writer, filmmaker and comedy legend, walked into the Ray Dolby Ballroom arm in arm with Bill Murray long after attendees had finished their chicken pot pies, accepted her honorary Oscar with grace and wit, then departed soon after — still linked to Murray.Yes, it’s the kind of move that could upend a live broadcast.
