Emmys 2025: Stars, incl. Javier Bardem, condemn 'Israel's' genocide in Gaza

The 2025 Emmy Awards turned into an unprecedented platform for condemning the ongoing genocide in Gaza, with actors and actresses using speeches, fashion statements, and interviews to express solidarity with Palestinians. Award-winner Hannah Einbinder declared "Free Palestine" on stage, later explaining her duty as a Jewish artist to distinguish Judaism from "Israel" and endorsing the Film Workers for Palestine boycott targeting complicit institutions. Javier Bardem echoed her stance, citing the International Association of Genocide Scholars and urging sanctions and boycotts against "Israel" while asserting that he would refuse work to work with institutions that support the genocide in Gaza. Before the ceremony, Einbinder’s co-star Megan Stalter carried a "Ceasefire" pin on her bag on the red carpet, and actors Ruth Negga, Chris Perfetti, and Aimee Lou Wood wore Artists4Ceasefire pins, amplifying calls to end "Israel's" war on Gaza.
