Oscars 2025: The winners: Inside could have set so many characters - but simply wasted this chance
Everywhere it burns: very literally in the forests of LA (because of climate change), in the(because of three years of war), in Gaza (because of a decades of conflict) - and there is currently more than a fire to be extinguished on the global political parquet.
The biggest fire accelerator is up to date. He denies climate change, insults Ukrainian President Wolodimir Selenskji describes him as a “dictator” and war driver. He wants to convert the Gaza strip into a kind of “Trump-Riviera” for the rich and obedient., his politics, manners and his followers shak the old world order known to us for 80 years. It is extremely worrying that this happens - for everyone all over the world.
But what does that have with theto do? Quite simply: a lot!
Hollywood is a stage for influential people with a lot of power and millions of fans. It is the place for artists: inside, among other things for those who are not always the opinion of the mainstream who use their free spirit to expand the horizon of an audience.
It is all the more disappointed that this stage with theExcept for a few people remained unused. At this point I ask myself: Is the majority of the Hollywood crowd so in love or wrote down that you were lost empathy? Or did she get a muzzle from the transmission transmitter ABC? Or did she even convert it herself? Everything unclear. Like our current world politics, that was different.
Oscars 2025: Why did only a few celebrities draw attention to the current world situation?
At the end of the long and time also boringOnly a few people stay in their heads who have made a clear position.
Adrien Brody cannot be forbidden
Adrien Brody, for example. In his acceptance speech, he said that he was given his second Academy Award for it because he represents people in films, the victims of, War and anti -Semitism.
When the orchestra wants to play him off the stage, he forbids himself to start a call: that hatred must not remain unpunished. That people should deal with each other more empathetically.
Anyone who then scroll through Instagram and Co. also found criticism of his speech: she would have been too long. Are you crazy? Just for the information: The speech took less than five minutes. Have we all really lost the attention span of a goldfish and any sense of humility and empathy?
Mikey Madison and Zoe Saldaña draw attention to minorities in the 2025 Oscars 2025
Oscar winnerthanked the sex worker: inside, who, with their lives and stories, the clearer of the evening,, would have made it possible.
The actress demanded more respect for women who are often treated by her customers simply like dirt. And Zoe Saldaña, the “best supporting actress” of the Oscars 2025, reported in tears how her grandmother immigrated to the USA and thus shaped her own life as a migrant.
Saldaña is the first actress with Dominican roots that an Academy Award (for) received.
And then? Then it becomes quite manageable with the open criticism:
Sure, the fire brigade of Los Angeles called everyone in the hall and in front of the screens, like that was in January 2025, when thousands of people were dependent on the largest forest fires in the history of California on the run and help.
Criticism of the environmental andHowever, nobody expressed the United States and disaster aid, which the incumbent president initially made to demands. It was only six weeks ago, but the trauma of those who have lost everything (and I really mean: everything!) Will take forever.
After all: The winners of the best documentation, Yuval Abraham and Basel Adra, made themselves strong for more understanding, empathy and peace in West Bank, Daryl Hannah expressed their Ukraine support in two words, and Peter Straughan (winner for “Beste Adapted script”) carried a loop in the national colors of the Ukraine on the lapel.
Was the Oscars moderation too subtle to make their criticism visible to everyone?
And the moderation? Was good, smart and sometimes pretty safe too subtle to pick up the width mass: who thoughtAnd his athleisure outfit was only meant funny, probably no longer read any messages since February 28, 2025:
On this day, Donald Trump insulted the Ukrainian president in the White House, orchestrated a scandal and also reorganized the world (not in the sense of previously valid and correct democracy and freedom, it is certain).
At the meeting of the presidents, Trump and his vice, JD Vance, also made fun of the fact that Selenskji had no suit that he would not be dressed in accordance with the occasion.
And come hereAnd Adam Sandler into play: That she has been able to incorporate this into the Oscars show, whose script has been standing for weeks in just two days after the scandal, is great. (If only it is a coincidence: anyway.)
ThatThe scene so subtleWas that they didn't understand many, but it's a shame. But that's the way it is if we all have a short-term memory that from Trump fans such as Mark “Facebook and Instagram” Zuckerberg or other uncensored social media apps such as Tiktok and theirsis significantly fed. If that is the case, the future will really be pretty dark.
Oscars 2025: Hollywood's problem with criticism and opinion
The fact that Hollywood stars rarely relate to clear positions when it comes to politics is standard in 2025. The fear of a shit storm on social media, a reduced range, a PR scandal is too great.
I do not ask for everyone to have an actor: in an opinion on everything and which also states constantly. But I actually thought that we live in a world and the present in which one for freedom, democracy,and uses diversity.
No matter whether, but especially when you pursue an artistic activity. Because art (and that also includes films and series) falls victim to censorship, threaten all catastrophic, dictatorial conditions. But you also have to open your mouth and make it clear what art can: exceed borders, let people think freely, create a better world. But many Academy Aawarders simply forgot that, it seems to me.
Gone are the days when George Clooney was nominated for the black and white drama “Good Night, and Good Luck”, in which a small group rebelled against incumbent politicians. The constant, real fight against the authorities as a warning example was brought to the screen-of course the drama did not win an Academy Award.
Also the times whenhis Oscar speech not only used to thank the producer: inside and other participants in “The Revenant”, but on theAnd its effects on our planet and its residents: to draw attention to the inside.
2025? See the protagonists: Inside at the Academy Aawards stage apparently hardly the big picture that affects all people alike, the focus of a thank-you speech is more like private happiness, which may consist of receiving two children with their own wife. Agenda for everyone? None.
Are films about trauma only made of profit will?
So why are films nominated and awarded in 2025 that deal with the trauma of Holocaust and exclusion from society - and yet the majority of Hollywood keeps their mouths? I have the feeling that the Academy after all of themSimply propagate entertainment, lightness and escape from reality and forbids opinion and criticism of the world situation by his guests.
And then there would be ABC, the transmitter who hosts the Oscars and belongs to Disney. And Disney, in turn, has only removed one in the past few weeksFrom an animated series for children. Is there an courteous obedience before the new ultra -conservative policy, for example, the new attitude to life in Hollywood?
Perhaps it would have been better to simply put the money that the Academy Awards cost, to put California and Hollywood's reconstruction. Because if you do not use a globally observed event to get up for freedom and democracy, you can also leave it.
I do not ask for actors to discuss political fundamental discussions or changes in tax law on the red carpet. However, I expect you to hold up the values and on theRepeat over and over again that make your work possible: freedom, democracy, diversity, freedom of expression, free thinking.
The Wiener Secession art school has as a motto: “The time its art. Art its freedom. " But if privileged Hollywood stars can no longer appreciate their and our freedom, to stand up for them on a large stage and to bring a minimum of freedom and their own democratic opinion to award shows, then miss their actual goal: to make the world a better one for the duration of a feature film.
