Iranian director Asghar Farhadi will not attend the Oscars this year. Although he is nominated for the movie The Salesman, he will not be at the gala for Donald Trump's recent immigration order that prohibits Iranians and other nationalities from entering the United States. Instead, Farhadi will send as his representatives the Iranian-born American engineer Anousheh Ansari, the first female space tourist, and Iranian-born American doctor Firouz Naderi, NASA's director of Solar System Exploration.
Trita Parsi, the president of the American Iranian National Council - an organization that promotes relations between Iran and the United States - announced on Twitter that the filmmaker would be absent from the gala this year. Likewise, the protagonist of The Salesman, the Iranian actress Taraneh Alidoosti announced that she will not go to the awards either as a protest to Trump's new policies. Farhadi already won an Oscar in 2012 for the foreign film Nader and Simin, a separation.
In addition to Iran, other countries affected by this presidential decree are Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Iraq and Yemen. At the recent Golden Globe ceremony, several Hollywood actors protested against the new policies of the US president. "An actor's only job is to bring to life the lives of different people," said award-winning actress Meryl Streep. "If they expel foreigners we will only see soccer and martial arts," he added.
In his applauded speech, Streep emphasized that "disrespect causes more disrespect, and violence invites violence." Others who also spoke out against this new policy that prevents Iranians and other predominantly Muslim nationalities from entering the United States, were actors Ashton Kutcher and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who used the Actors Guild Awards (SAG) platform. to be heard. Will we hear more speeches against Trump during the Oscars this year? We will find out this Sunday.
