Liza Minnelli has claimed that she was forced to sit in a wheelchair to present the award for Best Picture at the 2022 Oscars. "I was inexplicably ordered - not even asked - to sit in a wheelchair or not appear at all," Minnelli, 79, writes in her upcoming memoir, Kids, Wait Till You Hear This!, according to an excerpt shared by People on Friday, February 20. Minnelli, who presented the Best Picture award alongside Lady Gaga at the awards ceremony, added that she was expecting to sit in a director's chair, but the plans changed at the last minute.
