Sean Penn has called for a boycott of the Oscars if Ukrainian President Zelenskyy does not give a speech.
According to initial information from the agencies, Selenskyj was not switched on. Actor Sean Penn has threatened to “melt down” his two Oscars.
Penn criticized the organizers even before the ceremony. In an interview with CNN, the 61-year-old said: A speech by Zelenskyj at the show in front of an audience of millions would be a great opportunity for a speech. Even before the award ceremony, Penn feared that the film academy would not pursue it further. If so, it would be “the most shameless moment in Hollywood history,” Penn said.
