But when it comes to landing airtime on the most coveted telecast of all the Oscars the Ukrainian leader is being met with a cold shoulder. For the second year in a row, the Academy has snubbed Zelenskyy, who was hoping to follow up his Berlin Film Festival (remote) appearance last month with a virtual spot on Sundays Oscar telecast on ABC. Sources say WME power agent Mike Simpson made a plea to the Academy to include the comedic actor-turned-politician but was shut down. The Academy declined comment. Zelenskyys overtures to the Oscars comes as polls show Americans support for providing assistance to Ukraine has weakened. --- Hey now. <cite>BlueTigerLion posted [p:972142576] in Oscars Rej...

theAteam 03/13/23 11:35:57 AM #6:	It seemed to me like they were actively trying to avoid any controversy at all this year.

It was almost like they set out to prove they can do a show without incident, which they did. --- Buffalo Bills <cite>theAteam posted [p:972142880] in Oscars Rej...
