The whole world is with Ukraine today. Western artists make donations for Ukrainians, are not silent about the war and admire how the Ukrainian people defend their land. Of course, the awards were not without words about Ukraine.
Many of the stars who appeared on the red carpet of the award complemented their images with a blue-yellow badge or a pocket square in the colors of the Ukrainian flag. At the ceremony itself, they also remembered the war, but they did not say that Russia had attacked Ukraine.
Hollywood actress of Ukrainian origin Mila Kunis took the stage to announce the performance of Rebi McIntyre with the song Somehow You Do. Before that, she gave a speech.
Recent global events have left many of us feeling devastated. However, when you see the strength and dignity of people facing such devastation, it’s impossible not to admire their resilience.
The Oscar producers decided to support Ukraine with a moment of silence. During the broadcast, it was written on the screen that millions of families in Ukraine are now in need of food, water, shelter and medicine. The organizers asked to support Ukraine in any way possible. They did not mention Russia as an aggressor, and the war was called “a conflict, an invasion.”
The host of the ceremony, Amy Schumer, who offered to give Vladimir Zelensky the opportunity to make a speech at the Oscars, announced one of the nominations, mentioned Ukraine
There is a genocide happening in Ukraine, women are losing all their rights and transgender people… now please welcome Anthony Hopkins,” Schumer said.
Producer of the film “Power of the Dog” Emil Sherman also reminded about Ukraine.
It’s very, very strange to be here in tuxedos knowing what’s going on in Ukraine. Now is a difficult time when you are trying to cope with what is happening in that part of the world, and at the same time, as if there is nothing, you are celebrating the achievements of all those who made this film and all those films that are presented here today, – quotes producer for the New York Post.
