“Heated Rivalry” star Hudson Williams is going to the Oscars.

Sources tell me that the actor will be attending the 98th annual Academy Awards on Sunday.

Williams and his “Heated Rivalry” co-star Connor Storrie made their awards show presenting debut at the Golden Globes in January. I’m told Storrie is not expected to be at the Oscars. Fellow “Heated Rivalry” actor Robbie G.K. is on the guest list for the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party.

Williams, who was recently spotted at the Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week on March 7, is currently filming the drama series adaptation of the play “Yaga” for Canadian streamer Crave. Co-stars include Carrie-Anne Moss (“The Matrix”), Noah Reid (“Schitt’s Creek”) and Clark Backo (“Letterkenny”).

He and Storrie are set to return for “Heated Rivalry” Season 2. Shooting is expected to begin this summer, according to series creator Jacob Tierney. “I’m in a room all day writing,” Tierney told me at the GLAAD Media Awards on Thursday.

Hosted by Conan O’Brien, the Oscars will take place on March 15 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood and will be televised live by ABC and streamed on Hulu.

Presenters include Paul Mescal, Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Will Arnett, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Gwyneth Paltrow, Adrien Brody, Javier Bardem, Kieran Culkin, Chase Infiniti, Mikey Madison, Demi Moore, Kumail Nanjiani and Zoe Saldaña.

A “Bridesmaids” reunion is in the works during the ceremony with Rose Byrne, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Melissa McCarthy and Ellie Kemper.

Barbra Streisand is likely to perform during the In Memoriam segment in honor of her “The Way We Were” co-star Robert Redford. Billy Crystal will lead a tribute to Rob Reiner.
