, with an ultimatum for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences: Approve Zelensky’s invitation or face a potential walkout.
“Now, it is my understanding that a decision has been made not to do it. … If the academy has elected not … to pursue the leadership in Ukraine, who are taking bullets and bombs for us, along with the Ukrainian children that they are trying to protect, then I think every single one of those people, and every bit of that decision, will have been the most obscene moment in all of Hollywood history,” he told CNN’s Jim Acosta.
and “Milk” , called on people to boycott the ceremony in protest if Zelensky is not on the program, saying: “I will smelt [my awards] in public.”ICYMI: Actor Sean Penn says the Oscars should be boycotted if the ceremony’s planners have decided against having Zelensky on the program.
Who cares?-Does anyone really watch that shitshow anymore?
The Oscar awards is the perfect example of American inequalities and a double standard of judicial law. Smith should be charged with assault. Can’t take a joke? Remove yourself from the industry Smith. You’re a has-been.
Oh no don’t melt the Oscar!
Lots of Oscar smelting going on post ceremonies
And
Whatever.. I think Zelensky is a bit busy
Smelt too for the Iraqis, Afghans...
The big question: does anyone really care what Sean Penn thinks or does? Why would WAPO even waste ink on this?
Sean Penn is an actor with low education. He talks about things that he doesnt have clue. Overrated person stealing role on stage.
Chavez venezuela dictator lover.
Have to respect Sean Penn. He doesn't just write checks but shows up.
👍👍👍👍🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Ridiculous

Who tf watches the Oscars?
Faltou esse amor com o povo do Afeganistão, a hipocrisia reina e parte da imprensa segue feito patinhos
This is stupid. Zelensky has more important things to do. Invite him when this is all over, if you want.
Oh no sean penn's oscars
This is not newsworthy.
I get he's trying to make some kind of political statement, but the guy is leading a country in the middle of a war. Seems pretty dumb to stop what he's doing and fly across the world to speak to a bunch of actors at an award show

Personally, I don't need to see zelensky at the Oscars, nor do I need to see the Oscars because in context, the Oscars are nothing
Sean Pean can shut up. NO he shouldn't be on the Oscars. Zelensky has enough exposure already. It has nothing to do with the Oscars. This is getting ridiculous.
Who cares about what happens at the Oscars?
Who cares…
So boycott! Who cares what Sean Penn feels anyway? Few know the history of Zelensky, and if they did they most likely wouldn’t regard him so highly. It’s the Ukrainian people that truly seek democracy.
To be honest Zelensky does deserve an Oscar
Is Penn trying to become the center of attention? What has Zelensky to do w/ the Oscars? He’s not acting. He is real.
Sean, no. This is Hollywood. What 🇺🇦is battling is too real. Men, women and children are fighting for their lives and dying for their freedom and democracy. They need resources, love and prayers.
Hmmmm…. totally behind Ukraine & in general a big fan of Sean. But why would Zelensky want to be on the Oscars? Kinda think he had bigger fish to fry right now?
He did the same for the Syrians Slaughter by Obama and Putin, hypocrisy
whoever smelt it it dealt it
The Oscars are a joke and Zelenskyy (stop misspelling his name!) has much more important things to do 🙄
RanaAyyub SeanPenn, this is an even stronger message from USA to Russia after the move to rename Moscow mule cocktail to show support for Ukraine After all, ZelenskyyUa is a war hero & he neither shaves nor his beard is growing !! usatoday RussianArmy
He who smelt it..
I watched the interview that NOT what he said. He said if he wasn’t on because the Academy nixed it for political reasons he would boycott. Not if Zel didn’t go on.
RanaAyyub
RanaAyyub
Go away
Sean Penn is not in his senses.
So Sean, is Zelensky going to win for best picture, best actor, what?
I have no intention of walking the Oscars because I never do, but I would happily watch a YouTube clip of Penn smelting his awards. That would totally make my day
ok
Stop giving him attention. Give the people of Ukraine attention. Write more on Ginni Thomas trying to overthrow democracy.
‘Penn would ‘smelt’ his own Oscar for Zelensky’ — you don’t make this stuff up. Where’s the popcorn? This is getting good.
Why are actors so dumb?
It’s possible the leader of a country fighting a foreign invader might have more important things to do than feed the sense of righteousness of a bunch of Hollywood egos.
Let him. Get politics out of Oscars, it is the only way to save the awards shows. People look to entertainment to escape their troubles and those of the world. Hollywood forgot that.
The sanction does not work and we need to get the diplomacy going rather than using Hollywood propaganda...
President Zelensky has bigger things on his plate and a different audience to appeal to from those who watch and attend TheAcademy awards
He is fighting for his country, who the fuck cares about an over glorified award ceremony
Sean Penn won an Oscar?
Sean Penn is so unfathomably based
Why people kiss this guy's butt is beyond me.
Who is Sean Penn? Does he even have Oscars?
Support !!!
I was truly living with the impression that Penn is a clever guy. Booy was I deceived.
Ya because he really cares to be on a fucking award show while his country is getting invaded
“…but Ted Cruz went to Cancun”
seanpenn Almost everyone is with ukraine. But you fail to see that if you call a plumber to fix your toilet: you dont expect he arrives for a political lecture. Your job is to entertain. Get a position in politics and help if thats what you want!! Oscars
Not helpful
This guy🙄.
What are the Oscars?
Melt your award down if you want, Sean. Pres. Zelensky is busy trying to save his country and his people. He doesn’t have time to appear on the Oscars so Amy Schumer can make some creepy sex joke.
Makes no freaking sense for Zelensky and the show
