Who Skipped the 2024 Oscars?

Eva Mendes

Eva has voiced her support for her husband Ryan Gosling throughout awards season, and while she constantly pens super sweet messages for him on Insta, she's not keen on hitting up red carpets with her man. That doesn't mean she wasn't fully in attendance, though.

While Ryan sat in the crowd with his sister, Eva posted a photo where she appeared to be in his dressing room. "You took Ken all the way to the Oscar’s, RG. Now come home, we need to put the kids to bed," she captioned the pic where she rocked his performance outfit.

Taylor Swift

Tay is currently embarking on the international leg of her Eras Tour, which means traveling alone can take up almost an entire day. Plus, she's still re-recording her last two albums and releasing a whole new one, The Tortured Poets Department, in April.

Oscars producer Katy Mullan told IndieWire that the singer was more than welcome to join if she changed her mind. "Listen, we all love Taylor. She's the best cheerleader you could ever possibly have in any audience, whether it's the NFL or an award show, so if she wants to get on a plane and come to the Oscars, then we'll hold a seat for her, 100 percent," Katy said.

K-Stew wasn't nominated for any Oscars this year, so that's probably why she didn't pull up. However, she and her fiancée Dylan Meyer attended Chanel and Charles Finch's 15th annual pre-Oscars dinner at the Polo Lounge a few days before.

Though Dua Lipa played a small role in Greta Gerwig's Barbie, her megahit for its soundtrack "Dance the Night" wasn't nominated for Best Original Song. So, it makes sense that she skipped out on the Oscars this time.

Timothée Chalamet

Timmy has made his rounds this awards season thanks to Wonka, and some of his Dune 2 co-stars even pulled up to the Oscars this year. Although he fully packed on the PDA with Kylie Jenner at the Golden Globes (whose attendance sparked a bunch of drama 🫣), he probably skipped out on the Oscars to avoid a similar situation from happening.

Although Leonardo DiCaprio's Killers of the Flower Moon co-star Lily Gladstone and director Martin Scorsese were nominated at this year's ceremony, Leo likely skipped out on the festivities since he didn't receive a nod for Best Actor.

Hayao Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki

Studio Ghibli filmmakers Hayao Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki won Best Animated Feature at this year's Oscars, and according to a statement published in USA Today, they skipped the show this year because of their age.

"I am very appreciative that the work that was created after overcoming these difficulties has been seen by so many people around the world," Kiyofumi Nakajima, chief operating officer for Studio Ghibli, said. “Both Hayao and I have aged considerably. I am grateful to receive such an honor at my age and taking this as a message to continue my work."
