Why wasn't Meryl Streep at the Oscar's tonight?

I know she wasn't nominated but still, she is a major Hollywood star. Hope she's OK...

I think Meryl Streep supports the Palestinians' plight.

no longer live as husband and wife and haven't for several years. He was always her regular escort and she hasn't done a film since Don't Look Up in 2021. She's been seen having dinner with Martin Short, but they say they're just close friends. Maybe this was just a good year to stay home.

When I saw Paul Giamatti being interviewed at the beginning of the program I thought that she'd be there, too, as a fellow Yale Drama School alum. I'd hate to think her career is over now.

likely was asked to present but probably declined for whatever reason -- busy or just didn't want to do it.

so, I doubt it is anything more than a desire to "skip" all the hoopla this year.
