”Monsters” star Javier Bardem wore a Palestinian scarf on the red carpet, and made it clear in interviews that he does not collaborate with people who support Israel in the war, writes Omni.

I cannot work with anyone who justifies or supports the genocide, he said to Variety.

Hannah Einbinder, who won the award in the category of best female supporting role in a comedy for ”Hacks”, devoted a large part of her acceptance speech to drawing attention to the situation in Gaza.

The situation in Gaza is close to my heart for many reasons. It is my duty as a Jewish person to distinguish Jews from the state of Israel, she said in interviews afterwards.

Einbinder's ”Hacks” colleague Megan Stalter wore a bag with the text ”cease fire” on the red carpet.
