Javier Bardem used the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards red carpet to call for sanctions on Israel and denounce the genocide in Gaza. The Oscar winner arrived at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, wrapped in a keffiyeh and voiced unequivocal support for Film Workers for Palestine.<\/p>\n
\u201cHere I am today, denouncing the genocide in Gaza,\u201d Bardem told Variety<\/a> without mincing words. \u201cI am talking about the IAGS, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, who study genocide thoroughly and has declared it is a genocide. That\u2019s why we ask for a commercial and diplomatic blockade, and also sanctions on Israel to stop the genocide. Free Palestine.\u201d<\/p>\n On Friday, Paramount publicly opposed<\/a> a pledge<\/a> \u2014 signed<\/a> by over 4,000 film and TV workers \u2014 not to work with Israeli film institutions and companies implicated in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people.<\/p>\n It issued a statement that read, \u201cAt Paramount, we believe in the power of storytelling to connect and inspire people, promote mutual understanding, and preserve the moments, ideas, and events that shape the world we share. We do not agree with recent efforts to boycott Israeli filmmakers. Silencing individual creative artists based on their nationality does not promote better understanding or advance the cause of peace. We need more engagement and communication \u2014 not less.\u201d<\/p>\n Bardem directly addressed Paramount\u2019s statement, saying Film Workers for Palestine \u201cdo not target any individuals based on identity.\u201c<\/p>\n \u201cThe targets are those film companies and institutions that are complicit and are whitewashing or justifying the genocide and its apartheid regime. We do stand with those who are helping and being supportive of the oppressed people,\u201c he added.<\/p>\n The actor continued, \u201cI cannot work with someone who justifies or supports the genocide. That\u2019s as simple as that. We shouldn\u2019t be able to do that, in this industry or any other industry.\u201d<\/p>\n Bardem was at the Emmys as a nominee in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie category for his portrayal of Jos\u00e9 Menendez in Netflix\u2019s Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.<\/p>\n While he didn\u2019t win, Bardem\u2019s keffiyeh and words on the red carpet ensured his presence was one of the most talked-about moments of the ceremony.<\/p>\n Hacks star Hannah Einbinder, who has signed the pledge by the Film Workers For Palestine, also used her Emmy-winning speech to denounce ICE and chant Free Palestine.<\/p>\n Accepting her first career Emmy win in the Supporting Actress Comedy category for Hacks, the actor cheered the Philadelphia Eagles (who won their football game against the Kansas City Chiefs earlier in the day), before calling out immigration raids by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.<\/p>\n \u201cGo birds, F*** ICE, and free Palestine!\u201d the 30-year-old Los Angeles native yelled at the Peacock Theatre.<\/p>\n Einbinder\u2019s speech went over the recommended 45-second limit, causing host Nate Bargatze\u2019s $100,000 donation to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America to drop by a few thousand dollars. However, she assured during her speech that she would pay the difference.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source images.dawn.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Javier Bardem used the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards red carpet to call for sanctions on Israel and denounce the genocide in Gaza.
