Over 700 Hollywood Professionals Condemn Artists4Ceasefire Pins Amid Gaza Conflict at 2025 Academy Awards

The upcoming 2025 Academy Awards is facing controversy over protest pins related to the ongoing conflict in Gaza. A coalition of over 700 Hollywood professionals, organized by the Jewish advocacy group 'The Brigade', has condemned the initiative by Artists4Ceasefire, which promotes wearing a bloody hand pin on the red carpet. This backlash follows the recent release of hostages in the region and highlights tensions within the entertainment industry regarding political stances. Jewish Hollywood figures have expressed their outrage, questioning the morality of such protests during a sensitive time, particularly after the release of the Bibas bodies. The situation is poised to impact the Oscars, scheduled for Sunday, as discussions around the intersection of entertainment, politics, and social advocacy intensify.
