Renowned
Hollywood
celebrities
like
Barry
Jenkins
and
Ruth
Negga
marked
their
protest
against
the
US
President's
recent
travel
ban
issue
at
the
89th
Annual
Oscar
Awards
Ceremony
at
the
Dolby
Theatre
in
Los
Angeles,
by
sporting
a
blue
ribbon.
The
Blue
Ribbon
actually
signifies
the
American
Civil
Liberties
Union
(ACLU).
And
it
has
been
the
organisation
that
has
been
fighting
against
the
recent
travel
ban
issue
initiated
by
Donald
Trump.
Many
of
the
Hollywood
celebrities
have
shown
their
frustration
over
the
travel
ban
issue
by
Donald
Trump
and
thus
they
found
the
Oscars
stage
apt
to
show
their
resentment
towards
the
US
President.
Irish-Ethiopian
Hollywood
star
actress
Ruth
Negga,
who
will
be
looking
forward
to
grab
the
Best
Actress
Award
for
her
role
in
Loving,
has
been
the
first
to
appear
at
the
Red
Carpet
wearing
the
blue
ribbon
on
her
dazzling
red
Valentino
dress.
Negga
then
soon
followed
by
another
celebrity
Lin-Manuel
Miranda
along
with
his
mother,
both
of
them
spotted
with
the
political
accessory.
Miranda
has
been
nominated
Best
Music
and
Lyrics
for
the
"How
far
I'll
go" song
from
the
animated
film
Moana.
Later
on,
Moonlight
director
Barry
Jenkins
was
seen
wearing
a
blue
ribbon
pinned
to
his
suit.
Other
major
celebrities
to
wear
the
blue
ribbon
this
award
night
were
Casey
Affleck,
Karlie
Kloss
and
Benj
Pasek.
