There was some turmoil at the Oscars, according to ALLOD inside sources familiar with the incident. Kevin Costner was slated to present the Lifetime Achievement Award to this years recipientuntil he found out who it was.
The set manager said Its Whoopi and within about half a second, Costner said, Oh hell no. He handed the envelope to Cheryl and went back to his seat. Cheryl, who really had nothing to do with anything, handed the envelope to the next closest person, who happened to be Keanu Reeves.Keanu took the envelope, handed it to Joe Barron, and followed Costner back to his seat.When you cant even get Keanu Reeves to present your award. said Barron, Theres a good chance you should just retire. Hes likethe nicest guy alive. He told me handing her the award would put a target on his back at the marina. He doesnt even go to the marina
At first glance, the story makes no sense. Its almost as though we did this with Keanu already and it went so well that we figured wed drop another fave they think is on their side and see what happensAnyway, good for you, Costner and Keanu. Youve kept this nonsense alive for yet another day. God Bless America.
