YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe 2026 Oscars came and went and despite the insane political times we are living in, Hollywood remained largely silent. Caroline Kwan joined Francesca to talk about the lack of bravery from the stars at the Academy Awards.
You would think with everything happening in the world right now that this year's Oscars would be full of political statements. The genocide in Gaza, the U.S. and Israel’s war on Iran, the war at home in the for of ICE goons kidnapping our neighbords. Take your pick! And yet, it was largely crickets.
There were a couple moments, like Javier Bardem saying, “No to war and free Palestine,” or David Borenstein, who won the Oscar for Best Documentary “Mr. Nobody Against Putin”, who used his speech to talk about media consolidation and fascism. But otherwise, it was a pretty weak showing. I guess now that the whole media landscape is controlled by the fascist tech oligarchs, they are too afraid to actually speak out.
