This is entertainment and celebrity news today. Every story, every day.
Sigourney Weaver teamed up with Pedro Pascal to present awards at the Oscars on Sunday.
The two stars from the upcoming Mandalorian and Grogu movie shared a fun moment on stage involving Grogu, also known as Baby Yoda.
Weaver playfully acted protective when she spotted Grogu sitting with Kate Hudson in the audience.
The lighthearted exchange started as they praised production designers for creating entire worlds on screen.
Weaver blew a kiss toward Grogu, who was with Hudson, nominated for Best Actress.
She channeled her famous aliens character, jokingly warning Hudson to back off in a nod to that
classic scene. Pascal cracked up and admitted it gave him a scare, while Weaver called it
her maternal instinct kicking in. She doubled down on the joke, standing firm, even as Pascal
apologized to Hudson. The crowd loved the banter between the sci-fi legends. They went on to
hand out the Best Production Design Award to the team behind Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.
Later, they presented Best Visual Effects, which went to Avatar, Fire and Ash, where Weaver
reprises roles as a knobby teen and a scientist's spirit. Looking ahead, Pascal returns as the
Mandalorian in the new Star Wars film, with Weaver joining the cast for the first time as a
new Republic military, leader named Ward. Fans are excited for her entry into that galaxy. Support for
