Hollywood A-listers will be supporting more than their favorite films on Sunday at the Academy Awards.
Patricia Arquette, Steve Carell, Bryan Cranston and others will add a specific piece of jewelry to their wardrobes for the night, as they promote a campaign against gun violence in the United States.
"This awards season, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence is teaming up with Hollywood to lift up the stories of the 90 Americans killed every day by gun violence," a press release from the campaign states. "On the red carpet, high-profile celebrities will join the effort to shed light on the human cost of gun violence by wearing unique, hand-crafted bracelets that commemorate Americans killed or injured by gun violence."
The bracelets decorated in a simple black and gold design are a part of Brady's #ENOUGH campaign which encourages celebs and other influencers in the entertainment industry to call attention to the "critical need" to stop gun violence. (For more information, go to SayEnough.org.)

P.S. News flash 'a-holers'....the brady's are dead.
And I think the best way to limit gun violence is to allow law-abiding citizens to carry firearms.
I’ll be doing a boycott of the Oscars this year. Just like I do every year. If I want to hear a bunch of commie lib BS, I’ll turn on FNC.
Oh...so no ARMED SECURITY at the Oscars?
And they show up with armed security. Hypocrites
Hollywood celebrities, in their protected environments, are against gun ownership.
Never saw that coming
Sheeplettes.
Since most non-suicide “gun violence” is perpetrated by young black males, they are RAYCISS!
You (editorial you) just have to know that they won’t speak one syllable to the *color* of gun violence.
So will there be a significant “pro gun violence” side?
I mean this is as stupid as saying there’s a pro hungry child lobby, a kicking puppies lobby and a kicking granny off the cliff lobby.
Oh and all behind the guise of armed security. Ain’t hypocrisy grand?
Oscar night is when I miss Drudge’s old Sunday night radio show. His take was always entertaining and I sure won’t be watching. Haven’t watched for many years.
Never mind that “gun violence” was decreasing for thirty years up until the community agitator in the White Hut manufactured “Hands up! Don’t shoot!” out of whole cloth.
The FBI has a special report they produce called - The Color of Crime
They need to revamp all their action flicks and use pea shooters, rubber band shooters, and strong words and letters of reprimand when the good guys and bad guys duke it out.(can I use duke?)
“And I think the best way to limit gun violence is to allow law-abiding citizens to carry firearms.”
Been proven time after time.
The tedium and pc nonsense of the oscars should finally do them in.
I’m sure this will make the terrorists and whack jobs want to turn in their guns.
Every year they’ve got to do something to atone for the fact that they play make believe for a living. Just ignore them. Boycott their movies as i do. Deprive them of the attention they crave.
