Many of television’s biggest stars displayed signs of support for Palestinians on Sunday at the Emmy Awards ceremony. Several actors wore red Artists4Ceasefire pins, including “White Lotus” stars Aimee Lou Wood and Natasha Rothwell, Ruth Negga of “Presumed Innocent” and Chris Perfetti from “Abbott Elementary.”

The Spanish actor Javier Bardem wore a keffiyeh and said on the red carpet that he “cannot work with someone who justifies or supports the genocide.”

Hannah Einbinder, who won an Emmy for her role in “Hacks,” criticized ICE and called for a free Palestine during her acceptance speech.

Hannah Einbinder: “I just want to say — I just want to say, finally: Go Birds, fuck ICE, and free Palestine!”

Other Emmy winners included Stephen Colbert, whose late-night program was recently canceled by CBS. His show won for best talk series for the first time.
