Sean Penn: I’ll smelt my Oscars if Academy doesn’t let Zelenskiy speak

Sean Penn has described any potential lack of backing by the Academy Awards for the Ukrainian people as “the most obscene moment in all of Hollywood history”.

Earlier this week Amy Schumer, one of the three hosts for this year’s ceremony, said she had pitched “a way to have Zelenskiy satellite in or make a tape” but implied that her input had been unwelcome..” Other sources reported that Zelenskiy had declined an invitation to contribute via Zoom. “If it comes back to it, I will smelt mine in public,” Penn said. “I pray that’s not what’s happened. I pray there have not been arrogant people, who consider themselves representatives of the greater good in my industry, that have [decided against checking] with leadership in Ukraine. So I’m just going to hope that that’s not what’s happened. I hope [every attender] walks out if it is.”

Penn, who has won the best actor Oscar twice – for Mystic River in 2003 and Milk in 2008 – is not personally nominated this year, but does appear in Paul Thomas Anderson’s Licorice Pizza, which is seen as a leading contender for best original screenplay.

Precisely what would that achieve exactly? Please explain just how a showbusiness narcissistic pat on the back show is going to elevate the platform of Ukraine's message? This is purely another one of those depraved idiots trying to make money off of 'standing with'.
