Last night’s Oscar’s (Sunday February 26th) was filled with jokes, inspiring speeches, a quick tour through the Oscars for unsuspecting tourists and a mix up for Best Picture. Oscar envelope person you had one job!
One of the most empowering speeches of the night came astronaut/engineer Ansari who accepted the award for Best Foreign Language Film on behalf of Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi (The Salesman), who boycotted the ceremony in light of Trump’s controversial travel ban. She read a statement from the director that said: “Filmmakers can turn their cameras to capture shared human qualities and break stereotypes of various nationalities and religions,” Ansari read. “They create empathy between us and others — an empathy we need today more than ever.”
