Political proclamations have not won the battle of the Oscars

The world's transversal geopolitical and human situation has not occupied the center of the gala presented by Conan O'Brien, beyond the clear clamour of Spanish actor Javier Bardem against war and for the freedom of Palestine.

Javier Bardem has positioned himself against the war and for the freedom of Palestine.

The 98 edition of the Oscars has thwarted last night's clearly political film "One battle after another," but political proclamations have been an exception on the red carpet and on stage, at an agile and moving gala reminiscent, among others, of the deaths of Rob Reiner and Robert Redford.

The Spanish actor Javier Bardem has made the clearest and most critical speech at the gala in front of 3,000 guests. On the red carpet, Bardem had made clear his commitment, as he appeared wearing a sticker that said "No to war" and a pin for peace in Palestine.

"No to war and free Palestine," Bardem has declared on stage when he has presented the award for the best international film.
