The Academy Awards were held in Los Angeles Sunday, where “Sinners” made history with Autumn Durald Arkapaw becoming the first woman to win in the Best Cinematography category. Michael B. Jordan took home the Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of twin brothers Smoke and Stack, while the film’s director Ryan Coogler won for Best Original Screenplay. “Mr Nobody Against Putin” won for Best Documentary Feature. Meanwhile, actor and presenter Javier Bardem called for a free Palestine on stage.
Javier Bardem: “No to war, and free Palestine.”
The Palestinian actor Motaz Malhees, who had a starring role in the Oscar-nominated foreign film “The Voice of Hind Rajab,” was unable to attend the ceremony after his U.S. visa was denied. He said on Instagram, “I am not allowed to enter the United States because of my Palestinian citizenship.”
