Academy Governors Hold Urgent Meeting On ‘No Other Land’ Crisis As Oscar Winners Blast Tepid AMPAS Response To Filmmaker’s Beating

Oscar winners are demanding the Academy strengthen its defense of 'No Other Land' director Hamdan Ballal after he was attacked by Israeli military.

As that meeting nears an 11am Pacific Time start, Deadline can report a new statement has been signed by leading members of the Academy – including actors Olivia Colman, Joaquin Phoenix, Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz, Emma Thompson, and directors Ava DuVernay, Errol Morris, Adam McKay, Jonathan Glazer, and writer Tony Kushner – that demands a more forceful response to Ballal’s treatment by Israeli authorities.
