There will be a little less star power at the Oscars this year. Halle Berry has canceled her appearance at Hollywood's biggest night, People reports. The Oscar-winner, who was due to present an award, is blaming her broken foot for keeping her from the ceremony.

Berry broke her foot on the set of her new film Cloud Atlas last September, while chasing her daughter Nahla on the streets of Majorca, Spain. Not sure why a nearly six-month old injury would be keeping Berry from the red carpet tonight, but it's probably safe to say it's a little more complicated than needing a pair of orthopedic shoes.

Berry has been embroiled in an increasingly ugly custody battle over Nahla with ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubrey, and was recently denied sole custody rights to her daughter.
