"Oscars Reject Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Bid to Appear on Telecast. For the past year, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been greeted with open arms by awards shows, film festivals and even the New York Stock Exchange" #Ukraine #Oscars #Oscars2023 1/ variety.com/2023/film/news…
"But when it comes to landing airtime on the most coveted telecast of all — the Oscars — the Ukrainian leader is being met with a cold shoulder. For the second year in a row, the Academy has snubbed Zelenskyy, who was hoping to follow up his Berlin Film Festival appearance." 2/
"Zelenskyy has popped up via satellite at both the Cannes and Venice film festivals as well as the Grammy Awards and virtually rang the Opening Bell of the New York Stock Exchange in September. At the Golden Globes in January, Sean Penn introduced Zelenskyy." #Ukraine #Oscars 3/
"Meanwhile, the Academy isn’t the only group to refuse Zelenskyy. In September, Zelenskyy’s team reached out to the Toronto Film Festival about the leader appearing via satellite, but they were denied." #Ukraine #Oscars #Zelensky #Oscars2023 4/
