Idris Elba pulls out of Golden Globes

Idris Elba has had to pull out of the Golden Globe Awards due to injury. The British actor - who is nominated for Best Actor in a TV Movie or Limited Series for his role in 'Luther', and for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for 'Beasts of No Nation' - was advised against flying to Los Angeles after injuring his back. Idris' representative told Entertainment Tonight: "On doctor's orders [he] cannot get on a plane to attend the Golden Globes." While Idris, 43, won't be at Sunday's (10.01.16), Harrison Ford is a late addition to the line-up of presenters. Just hours before the ceremony, a message on the Golden Globes' official Instagram read: "BREAKING! EXCLUSIVE! Harrison Ford will be presenting at tonight's #GoldenGlobes (sic)." Other previously announced presenters include America Ferrera, Lily James, Orlando Bloom, Channing Tatum, Jim Carrey, Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez. Ricky Gervais is returning to host the show for the fourth time.
