Piers Morgan has proposed that the Oscars should be cancelled and replaced with a ceremony to celebrate “real heroes” such as those working in the NHS.
The 54-year-old Good Morning Britain star says the nation should praise the health service and those who work tirelessly in it - and says the current coronavirus pandemic should put the work they do into perspective.
The broadcaster thinks more should be done to celebrate those putting their own lives at risk for others - and makes his rallying call just days after the nation took time to applaud the work of the NHS with the “clap for carers” campaign on Thursday.
