The Oscar ceremony took place in Los Angeles on March 10, 2024. Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan were not present, but they must have kept their fingers crossed for a good friend – but in vain.
The Oscars were awarded for the 96th time on March 10, 2024. Hollywood’s biggest stars gathered at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles hoping to win a prestigious Academy Award. One of the big winners was “Oppenheimer,” which was named best film. Prince Harry, 39, and Duchess Meghan, 42, have had a few eventful days in the US state of Texas. She probably followed the Oscars on television and was particularly excited about the “Best Short Film” category. The reason: Her good friend Misan Harriman, 46, was nominated.
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan are excited about the Oscars
Misan Harriman is extremely close to the Sussexes; in 2021 he was the only photographer who was allowed to photograph the pregnant Meghan and thus announce the pregnancy with Princess Lilibet, 2. In 2023, the 46-year-old made his directorial debut with “The After”. The short film, in which “Selma” star David Oyelowo, 47, takes the lead role, is about a man who loses his wife and daughter in a shooting spree. The moving 18-minute work was nominated for an Oscar, but Harriman was unable to win. Instead, “The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar” by Wes Anderson, 54, which stars Benedict Cumberbatch, 47, and Ralph Fiennes, 61, won.
A bitter blow for Misan Harriman, but he doesn’t let it dampen his mood. During the award ceremony, the photographer posts a lot of behind-the-scenes impressions on his Instagram account. Including a photo that shows him in a green velvet suit next to his partner and Oyelowo – at the front of the picture – in the Dolby Theater.
Misan Harriman released new portrait of Meghan
Just a few weeks earlier, Misan Harriman published a previously unseen portrait of Duchess Meghan. The photographer accompanied the Sussexes at the Invictus Games in Düsseldorf last year and captured some special moments with his camera – including the new photo of the Duchess of Sussex. It shows her in a gray tank top with a high collar, leaning against a wall with her arms crossed.
In the past, Harriman and the exit royals have always supported each other. Therefore, it is very likely that Harry and Meghan were affected by their close friend’s Oscar bankruptcy.
