And the Oscar for being snubbed goes to … Ukraine

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 20:11:26 GMT

KYIV — For Ukrainians, this year’s Oscars left a bitter taste in the mouth.For the second time in two years, the Academy did not grant Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s wish to speak to the assembled Hollywood A-listers and millions of viewers. Why? Because it says it wants to stay out of politics.And yet Chinese actor Donnie Yen, who has ties to the Chinese Communist Party, was allowed to present an award, despite a public backlash.Worst of all, however, was “Navalny” — about the poisoning and imprisonment of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny — winning the Oscar for best documentary ahead of the Ukrainian co-production “House of Splinters,” which is about an orphanage that was destroyed by Russian forces. Navalny may be a hero to many in Russia but he does not hold the same position in Ukraine. “We really wanted to give a little joy to Ukrainians in these difficult times. We should have won not because we are from Ukrai...

The dispute is complicated by the 1963 British Museum Act, which still governs the institution and imposes strict curbs on sales, exchanges and disposals of objects in its care.Speaking to reporters during a trip to San Diego, Sunak appeared to stake out a position against a change in the law to ease relocation of the marbles.Sunak said the U.K. had “cared for the Elgin Marbles for generations.”And he added: “Our galleries and museums are fun...
