During the Oscars, Ramy Youssef and other guests and nominees made a public call for an immediate, permanent ceasefire in Gaza. Youssef, on the red carpet, emphasized the need for peace and lasting justice for the people of Palestine, wearing an 'Artists for Ceasefire' pin to symbolize this stance. This act of solidarity was part of a larger movement, as about a thousand protesters gathered on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, chanting 'free, free Palestine' and 'While you’re watching, bombs are dropping.' The demonstrators waved Palestinian flags and reminded attendees and viewers of the violence occurring simultaneously with the ceremony. This collective action at the Oscars, including the wearing of Palestine flag pins and 'Artists for Ceasefire' pins by various attendees, underscored a significant moment of advocacy for peace in Gaza. The event was part of 'Variety On the Carpet presented by @DIRECTV'.
