@starline.buzz: Ridley Scott is about to receive his FIRST Oscar — but he won't be there to pick it up. The 88-year-old director will miss the Governors Awards on Sunday, November 15, after a minor procedure. His doctors advised him not to fly while he recovers. He pre-recorded his acceptance speech, which will be played at the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Hollywood, while his wife Giannina Facio travels to Los Angeles with their children and grandchildren. After directing Alien, Blade Runner and Gladiator — and four Oscar nominations without a win — Hollywood is finally honouring him.
