The red carpet at the Dolby Theatre was already rolled up, but sources confirm Iran's head of state had a last-minute change of plans that had Hollywood elites gasping. Multiple Academy Award winners were reportedly left "stunned" when they learned the Iranian leader had scrapped a scheduled VIP after-party appearance—reportedly to attend an urgent security summit in Tehran. "It was the ultimate power move," a stunned publicist admitted. "Everyone thought he was coming for the glamour, but he chose crisis talks over champagne."
