Nobody can blame a Will Smith slap for this shocking development!
A short lived power outage in Hollywood Saturday briefly threw a wrench into preparations for Sunday’s Academy Awards.
Shortly after 1 p.m., power dropped on a whole block along the boulevard that features the Dolby Theatre, where rehearsals were ongoing for the Oscars awards ceremony.
The blackout was temporary within the constructing, and rehearsals moved ahead, in keeping with the Hollywood Reporter.
Crew and awards insiders were stuck in elevators, and native shop owners were forced to shut early.
The news comes following days of heavy rains across the Los Angeles area which can be expected to clear up before the awards show.
Chris Gardener, who writes for the media outlet, tweeted video of individuals walking along stalled elevators.
He cited a source saying the scene inside Dolby was “chaotic” and that “It’s an excellent thing it wasn’t [Sunday].”
