Rivalry star Connor Story did not attend tonight’s Oscar ceremony with co-star Hudson Williams. Story is not a presenter and there are no nominated works this year. He was photographed with Williams at a pre-Oscar party earlier this weekend.
Rivalry star Hudson Williams made his Oscar debut tonight, but co-star Connor Story wasn’t in attendance. Story did not appear at the Los Angeles ceremony, but attended CAA’s pre-Oscar party with Williams on March 13.
