Trump travel ban attacked at Screen Actors Guild awards
BBC News ^ | 30th January 2017 | BBC News

Hidden Figures was the surprise winner of the top prize at this year's Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, which was dominated by anger over Donald Trump's policies on immigration. The film, which tells the true story of black female mathematicians during the 1960s space race, won the best ensemble prize at the Los Angeles ceremony. Denzel Washington was named best actor for Fences. Several winners attacked Mr Trump's ban on immigration from seven countries. The tone was set by host Ashton Kutcher, who began the evening by greeting "everyone at home and everyone in airports that belong in my America". "We're in a really tricky time in our country and things are very inexcusable and scary," said Emma Stone as she won the best actress prize for La La Land. Mahershala Ali, meanwhile, spoke about his Muslim faith as he accepted the best supporting actor prize for Moonlight. Mr Trump's executive order, signed on Friday, halted the entire US refugee programme for 120 days, indefinitely banned Syrian refugees, and suspended all nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus called the immigration ban "a blemish" and "un-American" as she won best comedy TV actress for Veep. And there were cheers for actress Taylor Schilling when she described the award-winning cast of Orange is the New Black as "a diverse group of people, representing generations of families who have sought a better life here". Denzel Washington's Fences co-star Viola Davis was named best supporting actress at an event where several actors of colour were honoured. Yet the actress told reporters that every black nominee had been shortlisted "because they deserve to be" and "not... because of the colour of their skin." Meanwhile, Lily Tomlin was presented with a lifetime achievement award by her 9 to 5 co-star Dolly Parton at Sunday's ceremony.

Those that suffer from Stockholm have a constant need to put their neurosis on public display.

Being an actor means never having to think for yourself.

So many non-thinking idiots ready to give the country and culture away.

The full impact of the disastrous 1965 immigration law hasn’t hit the wealthy elites yet.

let them move out of their ivory towers in protected enclaves into the real world and see how long their snobbish, arrogant views last.

Twice tuned in briefly to what I thought was an awards show. What I got instead was actor brain flatulence before quickly switching away. Really wondered if they ever got around to handing out awards last night.

Celebrities like to tell us how self-important they are.

I simply want them to get lost.

As usual the holywood gods re trying to influence the weak at mind with their stupidity. They have no idea what the action contains and who implemented it. Obama is a big piece of it in his actions and signed documents accomplished months ago. Where was holywood then?

Here’s a good site to understand what happened:

I’ve never understood these awards shows. Millionaires and multi-millionaires slapping each other on the back and telling each other how great they are at performing in a fantasy world all the while protected by their money and private ARMED bodyguards........Gimme a break.
