After a new U.K. study voted him the best hope to take on a alien invasion , Arnold Schwarzenegger says he's "ready to serve". The action star and former politician was voted number one by 2,000 British adults, though Will Smith was apparently a close second choice, thanks to his work in Independence Day . As for Schwarzenegger, he was chosen because of his Hollywood roles and his stint as Governor of California. A spokesperson for Blaze TV, who commissioned the study, says, " Arnold Schwarzenegger is a strong choice for dealing with an alien invasion, bearing in mind he's not only a screen action hero but was also Governor of California." The spokesperson went on to say that it was a bit worrisome to see celebrities like Schwarzenegger, Will Smith, Sigourney Weaver, and Tom Cruise dominate over real-life public leader like Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris.

The Academy has been trying to figure out the best way to push forward with this year's broadcast in the safest way possible for months now. The recent Golden Globes broadcast suffered several technical difficulties throughout, including Daniel Kaluuya's acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actor delivered while his Zoom was on mute. Nominees were allowed to participate from their homes, but the Academy isn't going to allow that for the Oscars.
