Jim Carrey gets emotional at Oscars 😂

[news4dzhozhar]

The heated discussion surrounding director Jonathan Glazer’s speech at the Oscars last night is mostly missing the point. His main message was simple and yet vital: empathy is not a zero-sum game.

Glazer did not "deny his Jewishness", as some seemingly purposely misunderstood. He took an unequivocal stance against the cynical utilization of Judaism and the Holocaust in the name of justifying the occupation. These "misunderstandings" sadly aren't new.

It’s possible to oppose the killing of innocent civilians in Gaza and still care for the safety of Israeli hostages. One can worry about Israelis who were evacuated from their homes after October 7th and still be horrified by the conditions in which so many are currently living in Gaza.

We refuse to let this harsh reality make us less human, and that we refuse to accept the ease with which the blood and lives of civilians is used as a justification for political ideologies, or as a bargaining chip.

Joaquin Phoenix’s full speech

Hum, stop.

I’m full of so much gratitude right now. I do not feel elevated above any of my fellow nominees, or anyone in this room, because we share the same love: the love of film. And this form of expression has given me the most extraordinary life. I don't know what I'd be without it. But I think the greatest gift that it’s given me and many of us in this room is the opportunity to use our voice for the voiceless. 

I've been thinking a lot about some of the distressing issues that we are facing collectively and I think at times we feel or we’re made to feel that we champion different causes. But for me, I see commonality. I think whether we're talking about gender inequality or racism or queer rights or indigenous rights or animal rights, we're talking about the fight against injustice. We're talking about the fight against the belief that one nation, one people, one race, one gender, or one species has the right to dominate, control and use and exploit another with impunity. 

I think that we've become very disconnected from the natural world. And many of us, what we're guilty of is an egocentric world view: the belief that we're the center of the universe. We go into the natural world and we plunder it for its resources. We feel entitled to artificially inseminate a cow and when she gives birth, we steal her baby, even though her cries of anguish are unmistakable. And then we take her milk that's intended for her calf and we put it in our coffee and our cereal. And I think we fear the idea of personal change, because we think that we have to sacrifice something, to give something up. But human beings at our best are so inventive and creative and ingenious. And I think that when we use love and compassion as our guiding principles, we can create, develop and implement systems of change that are beneficial to all sentient beings and to the environment. 

Now, I have been a scoundrel all my life. I've been selfish, I've been cruel at times, hard to work with and ungrateful. But so many of you in this room have given me a second chance. And I think that's when we're at our best: When we support each other, not when we cancel each other out for past mistakes, but when we help each other to grow, when we educate each other, when we guide each other toward redemption. That is the best of humanity.

I just, I want to.. When he was 17, my brother wrote this lyric.. He said 'Run to the rescue with love and peace will follow.'

Thank you.

LOS ANGELES | Warner Bros. and HBO adopt company-wide inclusion policy

LOS ANGELES — Six months after Frances McDormand introduced the world to the concept of an inclusion rider in her Oscars speech, Warner Bros. and its sister companies are announcing a company-wide commitment to diversity and inclusion.

WarnerMedia says Wednesday that it is pledging to make sure that diverse actors and crews are considered for film and television projects at all stages of the production process going forward.

WarnerMedia companies include Warner Bros., HBO and Turner.

The first production to fall under the policy will be the Michael B. Jordan film “Just Mercy,” which begins shooting this week. Jordan was an early advocate of the idea of inclusion riders at his production company and helped craft the framework for WarnerMedia.

WarnerMedia also says it will issue an annual report on its progress.
