It’s such a non-statement! The film industry is in such a bad shape that they’re afraid of saying anything that’s out of step with the current US foreign policy. It doesn’t excuse the cowardice or putting politics before their commitment to the arts but that’s the state of things.
I don’t even think it’s related to the current Administration because they were completely silent & many of their members endorsed Biden/Harris (who armed and provided diplomatic cover for this genocide in the first place). The Academy needs to divest from Zionism.
I don’t think Biden/Harris had much choice since Israel is technically a US vassal state, with powerful lobby groups to make sure it stays that way. Then why give awards to No Other Land in the first place? To pat themselves on the back? It’s all so disgusting.
