“There were a thousand people waiting for answers on things, and you couldn’t tell them anything except ‘Yeah, that guy’s in it.’ That was about it. That was really all we knew”. Sometimes these sorts of requests are fulfilled with the shortest, yet most prestigious, of roles – the cameo.

“It ended up being an unnecessary hot potato”, said Abrams.

He said adding the film to the best picture nominees was considered to be “the best compromise in the best interests of the movie, members and our audience”.
