i think there will be some who will speak up tonight

amyayers.bsky.social•1 day ago

People at the Oscars always speak up.

melissamalcolm7.bsky.social•1 day ago

They will speak...I will like to see you posting the resistance tonight

mbromsmith.bsky.social•1 day ago

They are going low key. So far there was the Adam Sandler bit about dressing inappropriately and Conan backstage with a map of Europe.

dsng480.bsky.social•1 day ago

In light of this, the decades spent sheltering Weinstein and his ilk, and the ever accumulating total of awards given to films now seen as mediocre, perhaps not watching or caring is an option?

Crazy talk, I know.

ggreen.bsky.social•1 day ago

I think you are right, but I wish you were wrong.

There's no genocide in gaza, you hamas-loving gnat. The only genocide is the one the Islamists are ready, able, and willing to inflict on Jews all over the world. Maybe your friends in gaza shouldn't massacre their Jewish neighbors. They ought to go back to their ancestral lands - Egypt, Syria, etc.

millermena.bsky.social•16 hours ago

This argument does not land since it is ahistorical and ignores the number of Israelis who are either from the US or Europe that ACTUALLY have done what you think Muslims do.

thestrawhatgamer.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Crazy to say this in 2025 after all the damning evidence

thestrawhatgamer.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Also rich to tell Muslims to go back to places that aren't their homelands like Palestine actually is whereas most Israelis come from Europe and the US.

I don't usually watch the award programs. I'm watching tonight though, I'm hoping Jane Fonda gave everyone confidence to use that platform re our country burning down and all the other atrocities happening around the world.

The Grammy’s were mostly disappointing in this regard,

The Oscars are notorious as a platform where celebs have spoken out publicly. Hang onto your hat.

nservantes.bsky.social•1 day ago

Oh, I have a feeling they`ll have a lot to say.....

bobbymax716.bsky.social•1 day ago

I hope they do but I watched CNN today and they won't. A major American media platform refuses to tell Americans the truth. Why would actors ?

Look to a short film or documentary winner to say something. Those are often the most striking speeches because they're not part of the machine.

happyboy108.bsky.social•1 day ago

Bet you’re wrong. Also who is Hollywood? Is Hollywood accepting an award? Bet you won’t address it when you’re wrong.

happyboy108.bsky.social•12 hours ago

During his acceptance speech, Basel Adra, a Palestinian activist and one of the filmmakers, called “on the world to take serious actions to stop the injustice and to stop the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people.”

dmcgo.bsky.social•1 day ago

I hope you’re wrong.

eveningscroll.bsky.social•1 day ago

It's not their words we need - those are as good as thoughts and prayers. We need them to stand up with us

Let's see what happens before jumping to conclusion. Actors and musicans were the most vocals against Trump before the election.

brionykidd.bsky.social•1 day ago

Hope you’re wrong. If there ever was an Oscar night where making political points is justified, this is surely it.

speediegatl.bsky.social•1 day ago

They will acquiesce like the majority of people. It’s exactly how Hitler came to power. They just didn’t want to give up their positions or money until suddenly it was too late.

tulamide.bsky.social•1 day ago

The only message loud enough would have been to cancel the oscars during these dangerous times. But bread and circuses always worked over the last 3000 years.

toria-in-the-sky.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’ve never known Hollywood not to say something. Literally never stay silent on politics. That’s the point of the arts.

yycshanni.bsky.social•1 day ago

There's a reason #oscarsowhite resonated. It was and still is white af

Turn off the Oscars. Don't give corporate media the views for it. Their advertisers won't like low ratings.

digitaldgodave.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’m not so sure…

ogsaigonbond.bsky.social•1 day ago

Hollywood had a 'Dembargo' after Biden's debate & were late to the party for Harris.
Musk spent $288 million to elect Trump & MAGA reps. Hollywood should've easily matched him. Instead, some in Hollywood actually profited off of Harris events.
Hollywood can kiss my middle class ass.

shelev.bsky.social•1 day ago

I hope you are wrong I hope at the Oscar’s they gave the guts to use the platform to speak out. Israel just blocked any aide going into Gaza and fat orange
Rewarded Bebe by giving Israel 3 billion in bombs for further bombing of Gaza now that they’ve all come home to Gaza.

There is a short film drama that might win it’s about ice …hope they do

A lien — it’s amazing
Together it means alien

aldonza1.bsky.social•22 hours ago

It didn’t win — I think it was political reason , it was a much better film but it’s very politically charged

kikiladoucette.bsky.social•22 hours ago

I will be looking for it..but i doubt that it lost cause politics...the other winning doc is about Gaza and Palestinian
resistance, so...

aldonza1.bsky.social•22 hours ago

It’s not a doc — have a look , see if you can find both :)
It is short drama

brad865.bsky.social•1 day ago

If “Hollywood” stays silent tonight, then they are complicit.

goestoeleven.bsky.social•1 day ago

To be honest I expect them to support Ukraine. But say little else. And that may be for the best. So much of the country resents their voice.

katieal.bsky.social•1 day ago

Won’t be watching because of this. Entertainment industry has been deafeningly quiet about the threat to democracy. “If you’re neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor”

kikiladoucette.bsky.social•1 day ago

My goodness i think you might want to brush up on your Oscar History...you might have missed some moments involving just off the top of my head..umm Marlon Brando Meryl Streep Susan Sarandon ...damn even the Streaker in the 70s. .!!😄 and how about the room when Elia Kazan got the life achievement?!😡

Jeff Bezos is going to be there.
If any of those people really cared about America & democracy they would stop working with amazon & tell him to F off.
They absolutely will never do that & will kiss his ass at every turn tonight.
Just like how Robert Deniro comes to Alabama & makes movies. No ethics

davysgirl66.bsky.social•1 day ago

YES!

pmosletov.bsky.social•1 day ago

Unlikely and a gross generalisation

shesellsseashells.bsky.social•1 day ago

When actors speak out everyone hates them & tells them to shut up; when they don't speak out everyone hates them & tells them they're complicit. Social media tries to bully them onto one side or another but only the 'right' side which is someone's 'wrong' side. It's absolutely a no win situation.

moderatelyangry.bsky.social•10 hours ago

That’s because when push comes to shove, social media has no cultural relevance. It’s just whoever is shouting the loudest and then immediately we all move on to the next thing regardless.

Stop with the genocide narrative. There is not, nor has there been a genocide. Lots of dead. That is war. The gazans are far wearing nice clothes and cheering as hostages, near death are paraded through the city.
