Oscar parties
are reserved
for
Hollywood ’s
elite,
especially
when it
comes to the
Governor ’s
Ball. So why would Sean Penn,
last year’s Best Actor winner, be
banned from such an exclusive
party?
According to E!, Penn was
banned from entering the
Governor ’s Ball last night after
getting into an argument with
The Hurt Locker producer Greg
Shapiro backstage during the
Oscars. And the reason for the
beef between the guys may
have something to do with the
fact that Shapiro is now dating
Robin Wright Penn.
Mark Malkin reports, "Academy
officials...said he was banned
from the Ball. ”
Penn’s rep insists a
confrontation never occurred.
An Academy rep then said this
morning, "Sean Penn chose not
to attend the Governors Ball."
But we still don ’t know if that
was by choice or not!
We’d imagine it would be a little
awkward for Sean and Greg to
meet backstage. And Penn did
act a little strange during his
presentation of Best Actress last
night.
He said during his speech, "I
never became an official
member of the Academy, but the
Academy and I do have in
common that we neglected to
acknowledge the same actress in
our own ways two years
running. So I'm going to start
fresh with the Academy and
acknowledge these wonderful
actresses."
He was talking of course about
his ex-wife, who wasn ’t
nominated for her role in The
Private Lives of Pippa Lee.
Regardless, we can ’t see an A-
lister getting denied at the door
at an Oscar party. Most likely
Penn just opted out of going so
he wouldn ’t have to see Shapiro
again!
