In a rare public disagreement, Hollywood A-listers George Clooney and Angelina Jolie have found themselves on opposing sides of a heated debate surrounding the Oscars’ perceived woke policies. The clash began when Clooney, known for his activism and humanitarian work, criticized the Oscars for what he described as excessive political correctness and virtue signaling.
“We’ve reached a point where the Oscars are more about checking boxes and pandering to agendas than celebrating genuine talent and creativity,” Clooney remarked during an interview on a late-night talk show. His comments drew swift reactions from industry insiders and social commentators, with some applauding his candor and others accusing him of downplaying important social issues.
