Protesters Calling for Ceasefire in Gaza Block Traffic & Delay Start of Oscars

HeadlineMar 11, 2024

Hundreds of protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza blocked traffic on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood Sunday, forcing a short delay to the start of the Oscars. Several actors and musicians wore red Artists4Ceasefire pins, including Billie Eilish, Ramy Youssef and Mark Ruffalo, who arrived late to the ceremony due to the protests.

Mark Ruffalo: “It’s starting. We’re late. We’re late. The Palestinian protests shut down the Oscars tonight. Humanity wins.”
