After delivering a series of epic speeches in legislative chambers such as the House of Commons in the United Kingdom, the European Parliament in Brussels and the United States Congress, the President of Ukraine, Volodímir Zelensky, could also appear at the next Oscar awards ceremony.
That is at least the wish of the comedian Amy Schumer, who has acknowledged having contacted the organization of the event to try to materialize your project. However, the interpreter herself has now admitted that her initiative, also linked to Zelenski’s past as an actor and comedian, has little chance of succeeding.
“Yes, really I have proposed it. He wanted to find some way that Zelensky could appear via satellite or with a pre-recorded speech, because the Oscars have a million-dollar audience around the world. I would have no problem doing something like that, but unfortunately I’m not the one who produces the gala”, explained Schumer as she passed through her good friend Drew Barrymore’s ‘talk show’.
The movie star thus wants to recover the vindictive nature of the Oscars, especially at a crucial moment for the survival of Ukraine’s democracy and sovereignty. The artist also wants to highlight the human drama that emerges from a Russian invasion that has already left thousands dead and millions displaced.
“I think there is a certain pressure in the sense that many they want that It’s like a vacation where everyone forgets what’s going on for one night. But there are so many eyes and ears on the Oscars. I think it’s a great opportunity for certain comments to be made, even jokes that highlight the current panorama”, he reflected.
