Politics at the Oscars? A look at the films against Trump's policies!?

The 97th Oscars ceremony is set to be held grandly tomorrow. This time there is fierce competition in all the major categories like Best Picture, Direction, Actor, and Actress. india is eyeing the film Anuja in the live-action short film category. Several films are in the running for the oscar for Best Picture, including The Brutalist, the story of a sculptor who emigrated to America after overcoming the Holocaust during World war II, Anora, which sheds light on the life of a sex worker, and the Vatican thriller Con Clave. With so many female directors in the running, it's hard to predict who will win the Best director award.
Adrien Brody, who won a Golden Globe and a BAFTA for The Brutalist, is up against Ralph Fiennes, who played the Cardinal in Con Glebe, and Sebastian Stan, who played the young trump in The Apprentice. Mikey Madison's performance in Anora boosts her chances of winning the Best Actress Oscar. But hollywood icon Demi Moore, who shone in The Substance, and Fernanda Torres, who starred in I'm Still Here, are also in the running. Anuja, an Indian-American Netflix venture, is our favorite in the Live Action Short Film category. The film, which tells the story of a 9-year-old girl set in Delhi, is co-produced by actress priyanka chopra and Kuneet Monga. The Oscars are presented in 23 categories. Conan O'Brien is the host. The performances will begin at 7 am indian time at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. This is the first Oscars to be held after trump took office for a second time. What will happen this time on this starry night, which witnessed Oppenheimer's dominance and Gaza unity last time, is a suspenseful one. politics is a permanent guest at the Oscars. From the presenters to the award winners, the political situation will be reflected. It remains to be seen whether it will increase or decrease this time. Because trump is now president, politics cannot be avoided at the Oscars this time too, but we will make sure that it is not the centerpiece, says host Conan O'Brien.

Host jimmy Kimmel, who read out a recording of donald trump criticizing him during the 2024 event, mocked the president by asking if it was not time for a prison sentence. Actress Meryl Streep has criticized trump in harsh words, even though she was not on the oscar stage. trump downplayed Streep's performance. Political films and their actors are also in the running this time. But some of the executive orders signed by trump after becoming president are against these films and the politics in them. President trump rejected the film "The Apprentice", which is based on his life. But The Apprentice has two nominations, including Best Actor. Emilia Perez, a transgender woman, plays the role in the French film. She is the first transgender woman to receive an oscar nomination.

One of the orders trump signed was that only men and women could live in America. I Am Still Here, which has a protest theme against dictators, Wicked, The Brutalist, which tells the story of immigrants, Anora, Nickel Boys, which tells the story of racism in America, and Sing Sing, which is about American prisons where the black population is the majority, and the prisoners there, are many films that are against Trump's basic principles. But none of these should be revealed at the ceremony. It cannot be said that they will not be revealed. There are important influential stars in politics in Hollywood. It was reported at the time that actor George Clooney's withdrawal from the presidential election was the reason for Joe Biden's withdrawal. Many of Donald Trump's announcements are in a way that overturns all the policies that America has had so far. So we can expect politics on the oscar stage.
