Oscars ceremony delayed as attendees blocked by protesters against Israel-Gaza war

The annual Oscars broadcast kicked off several minutes behind schedule after hundreds of protesters obstructed the red carpet and entrance to the Dolby Theatre, preventing many of Hollywood’s biggest stars from getting to the show on time.

Ahead of and during the red carpet, pro-Palestinian protesters shouted at fans and stars alike: “Ceasefire now! Free Palestine.”

There was once actors like Marlon Brando who had a conscience well enough to boycott the Oscar's in protest of the treatment of Native Indians and look at these actors today . Shameful .

I wouldn't have notice Oscar if not for the protest. Still Oscar is pointless anyway.

[mixro]

it's so dystopian. people in tuxedos shoving the protesters out of the way.

Let's be fair, without this protest, Oscar would've been very boring.

But what are they pretending to get from those puppets at the ceremony? They mean nothing, they're nothing.

People have to be made uncomfortable. They have to feel some emotional pain from what they allow to happen by who they choose to support

"The tragedy of the people of Palestine is that their country was “given” by a foreign power to another people for the creation of a new state. The result was that many hundreds of thousands of innocent people were made permanently homeless. With every new conflict their numbers increased. How much longer is the world willing to endure this spectacle of wanton cruelty?" ~ Bertrand Russell

[hebagally]

thousands in the streets suffering from extreme cold, rain, hunger, and discomfort, and under constant bombardment, to die?
The war of annihilation of this people must be stopped because it is humanity and respect for international law, and the trial of Netanyahu, the killer of innocents and children, and the massacres that continue under diplomatic and military support

Boycott Hollywood and the Oscars and you'll see some real acting. Ask yourself, when was the last time you watched a movie and remembered the title two weeks later?

[dootscat]

Holding this kind of self aggrandizing event in the middle of a genocide is obscene.

[stenyethanmathews]

the actors represent the rich elite in this country. they want to continue the charade. at what cost?

[Deonara]

The ceremony was delayed? Well, that's awfull 😅

[eogbcqd]

So beautiful to c people standing up for justice round the world

[chlorophyllmorelikeboraphy]

Omg those ppl walking through with their nice clothes were so hilarious😂😂😂

[fairuzmaileen]

Oscars=snooze-fest... Palestina libre!

[jacford]

There is no justification for an American veto that supports Netanyahu to continue killing children in Gaza
And what negotiations are Mrs. Linda talking about?
Aren't you aware that Netanyahu stated that there will be no negotiations?
Isn't this a prolongation of Netanyahu's continued aggression against Gaza?
The American people are loved by the world, so we must always strive for peace

"After 30 years as a USA politician I learned to never believe Israeli figures" - Colonel Larry Wilkerson

Several minutes delay are more important to you than a noble cause.Justice is more important than oscar shmoscar.

All the women in the audience are worrying, "I hope I don't miss the gowns". 😂
