The 97th Academy Awards exhibited a notable lack of political engagement, with winners primarily expressing thanks instead of leveraging their platform for advocacy. While a few brief mentions of issues like anti-Semitism and support for Ukraine emerged, most speeches remained formulaic. Notably, the documentary 'No Other Land' directors offered a significant political perspective on Israeli-Palestinian issues, contrasting with the overall apolitical tone of the event. This shift may reflect broader societal apprehensions about political expression among celebrities.
