Emmy winners Hannah Einbinder, Bardem used the stage and red carpet to call for an immediate cease of hostilities
Television's biggest night was marked not only by glitz and accolades but also by pointed political statements, as several stars at this year's Emmy Awards used the stage and red carpet to demand an end to Israel's war in Gaza.
From symbolic fashion choices to fiery speeches, celebrities amplified calls for peace and solidarity with Palestinians.
Hannah Einbinder, who won Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy for her role in Hacks, set the tone by wearing a red Artists4Ceasefire pin. She was joined by fellow nominees and actors including White Lotus stars Aimee Lou Wood and Natasha Rothwell, Ruth Negga (Presumed Innocent), and Chris Perfetti (Abbott Elementary).
The pin, which has become a recurring sight at major Hollywood ceremonies, urges the US government to "call for an immediate deescalation and ceasefire in Gaza and Israel before another life is lost," according to a report in The Guardian.
