British Andrea Riseborough won a best actress nomination at the 2023 Oscars for her performance in “To Leslie.” With no big studio budget, Riseborough’s Oscar campaign relied on A-listers to spread the word, with Kate Winslet, Charlize Theron, Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, Amy Adams, and Courteney Cox hosting film screenings and praising Riseborough’s performance online. Despite sparking controversy, and with no public evidence that Riseborough or anyone on her behalf broke academy regulations, the Academy has determined on Jan. 31, 2023, to keep the film’s nomination.

They’ll use a lottery-style system.

Ticketmaster plans to ensure sales for the North American leg of the Renaissance World Tour run smoothly using their Verified Fan system. A lottery-style process determines which registered Verified Fans receive a unique access code and which are pushed to the waitlist.
