Oscars
2022
Red
Carpet
saw
some
of
the
most
stunning
looks
of
2022
from
stars
like
Lady
Gaga,
Jessica
Chastain,
Nicole
Kidman,
Jason
Momoa,
Zendaya
and
others.
However,
most
celebs
also
took
time
to
show
their
solidarity
with
Ukraine
through
the
use
of
ribbons
and
pin
of
their
outfit.
Benedict
Cumberbatch,
who
walked
the
red
carpet
with
his
wife,
was
seen
wearing
a
pin
of
Ukrainian
flag
on
his
black
suit.
Youn
Yuh-jung,
last
year's
Best
Supporting
Actress
for
'Minari',
also
sported
a
blue
ribbon
as
a
mark
of
support
for
Ukraine
refugees.
Nicholas
Britell,
nominated
for
his
Don't
Look
Up
score,
wore
a
blue
ribbon
on
one
lapel,
along
with
Nicole
Kidman
and
Jessica
Chastain.
Meanwhile,
Jamie
Lee
Curtis
spoke
about
the
importance
of
a
blue
ribbon
during
a
Red
Carpet
interaction.
He
said,
"The
ribbon
is
about
the
refugee
crisis.
It's
an
incredibly
important
moment
given
what's
happening
in
Ukraine,
the
displacement
of
human
beings
in
the
world.
The
exodus
of
human
beings
is
a
crucial
story
for
our
time
right
now."
The
Godfather
director
Francis
Ford
Coppola
wore
a
pin
with
the
Ukrainian
flag
and
Jason
Momoa
donned
a
handkerchief
in
the
colours
of
the
Ukrainian
flag
-
blue
and
yellow
-
in
his
suit
pocket.
Producer-director-actor
Tyler
Perry
marked
his
presence
on
the
red
carpet
by
wearing
a
Ukrainian
flag
ribbon.
Oscars
2022
producers
had
revealed
that
the
ceremony
will
be
acknowledging
the
ongoing
but
will
maintain
an
apolitical
stance
about
the
Russia-Ukraine
war.
However,
many
actors
talked
about
the
humanitarian
crisis
and
there
was
also
a
moment
of
silence
after
the
emotional
performance
by
Reba
McEntire
of
the
Best
Original
Song
nominee
'Somehow
You
Do'
from
Four
Good
Days.
The
Dolby
Theatre
also
featured
slides
with
a
message
of
support
and
officially
acknowledged
the
War
in
a
statement
by
actor
Mila
Kunis,
who
was
born
in
Ukraine.
"Recent
global
events
have
left
many
of
us
feeling
gutted,
yet
when
you
witness
the
strength
and
dignity
of
those
facing
such
devastation,
it's
impossible
to
not
be
moved
by
their
resilience.
One
cannot
help
but
be
in
awe
of
those
who
find
strength
to
keep
fighting
through
unimaginable
darkness,"
She
said.
The
94th
Academy
Awards
took
place
on

Theatre
in
Los
Angeles.
