Lin-Manuel Miranda Skipping Oscars After Wife Tests Positive For Covid
Lin-Manuel Miranda I'm taking an Oscars Pass ... My Wife has COVID
We're not saying they're dropping like flies, but COVID is getting in the way of the Oscars ... at least as far as Lin-Manuel Miranda is concerned.
The "Hamilton" mastermind is staying home Sunday night, after his wife tested positive for the virus.
He said ... "Made it to Hollywood … This weekend, my wife tested [positive] for COVID. She's doing fine. Kids & I have tested [negative], but out of caution, I won't be going to the Oscars tomorrow night."
Nonetheless, he was cheering on "Cheering for my Tick, Tick... Boom!" ... which could end up with some hardware ... Andrew Garfield is up for Best Actor.

There are a lot of nervous actors ... to gain entry into the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, they have to produce proof of vaccination and not one but 2 negative PCR tests. There are exceptions -- performers and presenters don't have to show proof of vaccination, which is weird, right?
The requirements go way beyond L.A. County Health Dept. guidelines ... most of which have been lifted as numbers continue to go down.
