Megan Markle's close friend, Misan Harman, is making waves in Hollywood as his short film "The After" receives an Oscar nomination for Best Live Action Short Film in 2024.
Notably, Misan, currently the chair of the South Bank Center, played a unique role in Megan and Prince Harry's life, having shot the photograph the couple used to confirm their second pregnancy in 2021.
Misan's friendship with Megan and Harry extends beyond professional collaboration. He expressed gratitude for introducing Megan to a mutual friend, ultimately leading to her meeting Harry. Their connection, as described by Misan, is akin to reading the pages of a book. Megan supported Misan in November at an LA taste makers event, engaging with the director and lead actor, David Ooloo, from "The After."
"The After" revolves around a rideshare driver confronting grief after witnessing a violent crime. The film, Misan's directorial debut, premiered at the HollyShorts Film Festival in August, winning Best Live Action. It has also earned accolades at the Astro Film Awards and the African-American Film Critics Association.
Speculation arises about Megan attending the Oscars as Misan's plus one, potentially presenting an award in his category. However, concerns are raised about the potential impact on Misan's career, considering the scrutiny associated with being "Markled." The unpredictability of being associated with Harry and Megan in Hollywood is highlighted, suggesting potential risks for Misan's professional standing.
The discussion delves into Megan's awards history, pointing out that since stepping down as working Royals in 2020, she and Harry have received six awards. These include the NAACP Image Awards, President's Award, People's Choice Award, Pop Podcast 2022, Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope Award, Women of Vision Award, Gracie Award for Top Entertainment Podcast Host, and the Living Legends of Aviation honor.
Notably, Harry and Megan were recognized for their commitment to social justice and equality at the NAACP Image Awards in February 2022. They received praise for leading by example and inspiring the next generation of activists through the NAACP Archwell Digital Civil Rights Award.
As the couple continues to make waves in Hollywood, the analysis raises questions about Megan's potential involvement in the Oscars, emphasizing the ongoing narrative of their impact on both the entertainment industry and societal causes.
