The Oscars gala has been bringing together many cinema enthusiasts for years. It is also a good opportunity to draw the world’s attention to urgent problems. During the event, the president of war-torn Ukraine wanted to make an important appeal. The Film Academy did not consent to the participation of the former actor in the broadcast.
The president of Ukraine appeals for help. Zelensky has performed at many international events
Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky has used large-scale events to draw the world’s attention to the plight of his war-torn nation and appeal for help for his people. The president has already spoken remotely, e.g. at the festival in Cannes or in Venice. His appeal was also heard during the Grammy Awards, the Berlin International Film Festival and the Golden Globes. The politician can also count on the support of many representatives of the artistic community, because he gained popularity and support of the society when he was still a full-time actor. Although many are in favor of him, Zelensky cannot count on the help of the Film Academy, which again refused him to participate in the Oscars gala.
The Film Academy rejected Zelensky’s request. The president of Ukraine will not speak at the Oscars
As reported by the portal, Volodymyr Zelensky applied to participate in the broadcast during this year’s Oscars gala. Unfortunately, like last year, his request was rejected by the Film Academy. The reasons for this decision are unknown, as the organizer of the event, producer Will Packer, did not speak on the matter and declines to comment. According to the information provided, VME agent Mike Simpson intervened in this matter to obtain permission to include Zelensky’s performance, but these requests also ended in a fiasco.
