The upcoming 97th Academy Awards on March 2 has reignited the debate about the role of Hollywood in political discourse. Producer Linda Ann Watt asserts that celebrities should leverage their platforms for social change, drawing parallels to historical political theater. Critics, however, argue that many stars are out of touch, focusing more on their lavish lifestyles than meaningful commentary. With a surge in films featuring violence and a rise in societal issues, the challenge remains: should the Oscars embrace political discussions or retreat to entertainment?
"One voice can spark change," says producer Linda Ann Watt. "Celebrities have a responsibility to address societal issues. Art's an avenue for social change."
