She’s one of the presenters at the 92nd Annual Academy Awards in Hollywood on Sunday.
But things were not going smoothly for Salma Hayek as she got ready for Tinseltown’s biggest night.
The 53-year-old actress tweeted a photo of herself in full glam mode but it must have taken longer than she’d planned to get ready because she added in the caption: ‘Late for the #Oscars but almost there!’

Rushed: Salma Hayek is a presenter at Sunday’s Oscars but getting ready for the event must have taken longer than she’d planned as she tweeted: ‘Late for the #Oscars but almost there!’
In the end, it seems The Grown Ups and Ugly Betty star made it to the Dolby Theatre with time to spare.

The full-length gown had one silver sparkly strap and one diaphanous sheer sleeve.
Her hair was styled high on top of her head and fastened with a silver and pearl half-laurel wreath.
She wore matching silver and pearl earrings, a silver coiled armband with leaf motif and a statement ring.

While dark comic book movie Joker goes into the ceremony with a leading 11 nominations, it’s the immersive World War One movie 1917 that has emerged as the film to beat in the best picture race after winning a slew of accolades in the last five weeks.
Yet a win for 1917 is far from a foregone conclusion, with South Korean social satire Parasite and sentimental favorite Once Upon a Time in Hollywood from Quentin Tarantino also jostling for attention from the 8,000 voters of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The best director category, a controversially all-male affair, is equally hard to call according to Oscar pundits, with a lineup featuring Sam Mendes (1917), Scorsese, Todd Phillips (Joker), Tarantino and Bong Joon Ho (Parasite).

Some races appear to be already locked up. Brad Pitt has never won an acting award, but he has charmed awards audiences with his witty speeches and supporting actor performance as a laid-back stunt double in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Joaquin Phoenix has dominated best actor prizes for his terrifying portrayal of an isolated loner in Joker, while Renee Zellweger seems to have locked up best actress for playing an aging Judy Garland in Judy.
A win by Zellweger would defeat Harriet star Cynthia Erivo, the only person of color in the acting lineup that has renewed the #OscarsSoWhite furor despite four years of efforts to diversify the academy’s membership.
Taking place without a host for the second year, Oscar organizers have given few details of the ceremony, other than to announce live performances by original song contenders Elton John, Idina Menzel, Randy Newman, Chrissie Metz and Erivo.
