– We call for an immediate and lasting ceasefire in Gaza. We call for peace and lasting justice for the Palestinian people, Youssef said on the red carpet, giving an interview to Variety’s Marc Malkin. The actor added:
It’s a universal message: ‘Let’s stop killing children.’ Let’s not take part in another war.’ No one ever looked back on the war and thought the bombings were a good idea. Because we are surrounded by so many artists who want to express their opinion, list [tych, którzy pojawią się z przypinkami – red.] it will be long. Many people will be wearing these pins tonight. There are plenty of talking heads in the news, this is the space of talking hearts.

“Artists for Ceasefire” pins were also shown on the red carpet by “Nimony” actor Eugene Lee Yang, director Ava DuVernay, director Misan Harriman (“The After”) and writer-director Kaouther Ben Hania (“Four Daughters”). They were also worn on the Grammy Awards red carpet last month by, among others: Boygenius members Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker. It is worth noting that in previous years during the Oscars, stars in a similar way supported, among others, Ukraine (blue and yellow ribbons) or the fight against the AIDS epidemic (red ribbons).

The signatories included, among others: Ramy Youssef, Mark Ruffalo, Joaquin Phoenix, Cate Blanchett, Jon Stewart, Kristen Stewart, Susan Sarandon, Mahershala Ali, Riz Ahmed and Quinta Brunson.
