. He even read out the letter Johansson sent, which fit perfectly in tone with the comedic/dramatic film.
"I am so saddened that I can not be here with you this evening," she wrote. "An hour and a half ago, I became violently ill right as I was about to leave the Miramar hotel for the theater. I was so looking forward to accepting this incredible honor in person, and to not be here on stage with Adam is deeply disappointing, to say the least."
Driver took the stage alone to a warm reception, and spoke about what acting means to him. "It’s a craft. It’s a political act, unfortunately, it’s a business, and it’s a service. I think acting is a service industry," he said. "I’m there in service of the director, the actors and the crew, and the story overall, which is more important. I very much believe in that. I believe in the potential effect of great collaboration.
Johansson and Driver are also both nominated for Academy Awards for their work in the Netflix film. Johansson, who is nominated for the first time in her career, is up for two separate awards on the night, getting the supporting nod for her work on "Jojo Rabbit."
