Vanessa Redgrave Wins Supporting Actress: 1978 Oscars

[@8lifeisamovie8]

She is a smart woman. She knew very well that there is no better place to draw the world's attention to a situation than the Oscars, where the whole world is available, if only for a few minutes.

[@raeconteur]

Here after Jonathan Glazer's acceptance speech at the Oscar's several days ago...the parallels are absolutely uncanny. Both the films 'Julia' and 'Zone of interest' are about WW2 and the evils of the Nazis. In both speeches, both antisemitism and sionist aggression was denounced. In both cases, it took a great deal of courage. The only difference being, Glazer is jewish himself and was not booed, not on stage at least. And so, almost half a century later, maybe that was an improvement.

[@lesleyvivien2876]

This is from 1978, while Gaza was Israel proper. It wasn't till 2005 that Gaza was emptied of Israelis so that Arabs could move in. It was called "land for peace" - that went well, didn't it? 😒 So your comment says nothing for your knowledge of history, and even less for all the halfwits who upvoted it.

I guess it comes down to how we come to our decisions. Most people gage by awards. I guess since McDormand has three best actress Oscars many might now start saying she's better than Streep. They both have three, but Alan Rickman said it best: actors don't win Oscars, roles do, and this is so true, and echoed in a statement by the great Glenda Jackson who is as good as ANY who had e ever lived, and I summarize: Many who should have won didn't win because the role wasn't showy enough, and she ended it with a classic statement: they certainly don't make you act any better.

Because unless you're Meryl Streep or Tom Hanks it would be a very bad business decision.

Normally, I detest when stars politicize their moment in the spotlight but not with this. Nowadays, it's the "cool" thing to do with celebrities and they proceed with these cringey, disingenuous rants in front of a room full of cheering supporters. Not Ms. Redgrave. This took serious guts and she did it with authenticity and grace to a room of stunned silence and boos. She's the real deal.

[@thomassperduti4500]

Indeed!

[@kaledafif7972]

Yes

[@lesleyvivien2876]

Bullshit. It's no more acceptable from her than it is from anyone else. Paddy Chayefsky was right.

A woman of Rare Courage...!! I Salute You Vanessa, with my undying love...!

[@amirleo2051]

I'm a bit confused, in the comments everyone praised her for her speech, aren't Americans fond of Israel and Zionism??

[@lloydchristopher5408]

She is GOATED for this 💃

[@particleboy3584]

The point is that she was absolutely right in everything she said.

[@roseb.6771]

Very gracious and courageous woman. While all of this was going on inside there were people protesting her outside by burning effigies of her. It was so serious that police had sharp shooters on rooftops just in case. And yes, she did end up being black listed because of her opinions.

[@lakiglasgow]

Only now i know how brave this woman is

[@jchan9761]

I came here after a zionist channel complained about her speech. I dont disagree with what she said.

travolta is so freaking young!

Yes, Vanessa was brave and I love her for her speech. Having said that: DAMN, John Travolta! Too beautiful for words.

[@rebeccaquinn6925]

God Travolta's so gorgeous here

God, I loved those "boos" - not that I liked having Vanessa Redgrave suffer any fallout from her comments and/or beliefs, but the booing just struck me funny.
