Hollywood stars Chris Pratt and Emma Stone have made headlines by announcing their joint boycott of the Oscars, citing the awards’ “woke” policies that they believe prioritize political correctness over genuine artistic merit.
Stone, an Academy Award-winning actress, echoes Pratt’s sentiments, emphasizing the importance of recognizing talent based on artistic achievements rather than conforming to societal pressures. “We stand for real artistry,” she states, “and we won’t participate in an event that undermines that.”
Their boycott has ignited discussions about the role of politics in entertainment awards and has raised questions about the future of prestigious ceremonies like the Oscars in an increasingly polarized industry.
