‘Let People Wear Whatever Pin They Want’
Ahead of the Oscars, Hollywood is torn over a blistering letter that chastised Artists4Ceasefire’s invitation for celebrities to wear its pins.
In the final lead-up to Oscars Sunday, two tiny symbols of opposition have risen in prominence — each articulating a separate ideological response to Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza — setting the stage for a confrontation ahead of Hollywood’s splashiest awards extravaganza.
