Lee, who is Chief Creative Officer at Walt Disney Animation Studios, credited Groff, 36, for introducing her to her now-husband. Rannells met his boyfriend, actor Tuc Watkins, when they starred in the Broadway show The Boys in the Band in 2018.

"The big metal belt looked like it would be very heavy but Sanja Hays, the designer, did a very clever thing," Molina said. "She cut the back out of the leather part of the costume, which you couldn't see, which basically meant I could breathe a bit." "It was surprisingly comfortable," added Molina, who first appeared as Doc Ock in Spider-Man 2, recently reprising his role in Spider-Man: No Way Home. "The nice thing about the design was it looked good but it felt like clothing, it didn't feel like a costume." Molina went on to present the award for Excellence in Sci-Fi /Fantasy Film to Jacqueline West and Robert Morgan for their costume design for in Dune.
