Actor Sean Penn Wants Viewers to Boycott the Oscars Over Ukraine

Sean Penn, who has currently fled to Warsaw, Poland, for safety reasons, insists that Zelenskyy must speak at the Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday, March 27. He told Deadline, “If it turns out [Zelenskyy is not on the program], I would encourage everyone involved, though it may be their moment, and I understand that to celebrate their films, it is so much more importantly their moment to shine, and to protest and to boycott that Academy Awards.”
