'The Brutalist' Star Shows Support For Palestinians With Subtle Oscar Accessory
Guy Pearce made a silent show of solidarity with the Palestinian people during Sunday's Oscars. During his time on the red carpet, the 'Brutalist' actor donned a pin of a white dove holding an olive branch with the phrase 'Free Palestine' written on it. Pearce has previously used fashion to make a political statement. In fact, his accessories caused a bit of controversy during last year's Cannes Film Festival. When Pearce sported a Palestinian flag on the lapel of his tuxedo, Vanity Fair France decided to photoshop the pin out of an image the outlet published online. The 'Memento' star criticized the choice in a statement to CNN, writing, 'As the Palestinian people are already suffering great trauma and loss due to the vengeful regime of Netanyahu, it is most unfortunate that a reputable publication like VF attempts to eliminate support that I or anyone chooses to offer.' Pearce was not the only person who stood up for Palestinians during Sunday's awards ceremony. When 'No Other Land,' a documentary about the occupation of the West Bank, won Best Documentary, Israeli co-director Yuval Abraham used his acceptance speech to condemn his country's treatment of Palestinians. While on stage, the filmmaker and journalist said, 'There is a different path, a political solution. Without ethnic supremacy, with national rights for both of our people.' Outside of the awards, pro-Palestinian protesters shut down traffic while demonstrating not far from the entrance of Hollywood's Dolby Theater. The protest came amid Israel's decision to halt aid to Gaza after a ceasefire in the region expired at midnight on Saturday.

Oscars: Guy Pearce Wears 'Free Palestine' Pin on the Red Carpet
As a protest supporting Palestinians in the ongoing Hamas-Israel conflict took place outside the Dolby Theatre at Oscars 2025, Guy Pearce brought his statement onto the red carpet, pairing his tuxedo with a small pin that depicted a white enamel dove embossed with 'Free Palestine.' A best supporting actor nominee for The Brutalist, Pearce has been wearing pins at several public appearances since early last year and indicated before the 2025 Academy Awards that he would indeed include a pin as part of his Oscar Night attire, as The Hollywood Reporter previously reported.

After wearing a pin depicting the Palestinian flag at the Cannes Film Festival in 2024, an uproar occurred after it was discovered that Vanity Fair France photoshopped the pin out of an image that ran on the magazine's site. 'As the Palestinian people are already suffering great trauma and loss due to the vengeful regime of Netanyahu,' Pearce wrote in an email to CNN, 'it is most unfortunate that a reputable publication like VF attempts to eliminate support that I or anyone chooses to offer.' The timing for Pearce's solidarity at Oscars 2025 is also notable: Israel and Hamas talks stalled over the weekend, with no indication that a ceasefire set to expire will be extended. Dove pins have become a popular item to wear, symbolizing peace and expressing solidarity with Gaza civilians who have been bombed by Israel as a response to Hamas launching its own attack on October 7, 2023. The 97th Academy Awards, hosted by Conan O'Brien, were held Sunday at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood. Find the full winners list here, and check out the A-list red carpet arrivals here.
