Actor Sean Penn says he will destroy his Academy Award if Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy isn't allowed to speak during the broadcast.

In an interview with CNN, Penn, 61, said having Zelenskyy speak during Sunday's broadcast was of the utmost importance.

"There is nothing greater that the Academy Awards could do than to give him that opportunity to talk to all of us," Penn said.

I’d prefer he hold his breath until...

[Behind Liberal Lines]

The human trafficker should shut up

[JudyinCanada]

If ever there was an indication that Zelensky was a crooked, corrupt puppet, the slobber and drama of Sean Penn is it.

[Zathras]

Is he taking requests....I have a few.

Didn't he threaten to leave the country if Ronald Reagan won the election?…if George H.W. Bush won the election?…if George W. Bush won any election?…if Donald J. Trump beat Hillary? (I love asking that. lol). Who let him back in?

[TnTnTn]

Alright!!!! Fire up the forge…c’mon man

[Chickensoup]

Does he actually think that any one cares if he destroys his statue?

Ego there?

[al baby]

And proclaiming im so wasted

[Hawleyish]

he who smelt it, dealt it

[Blue Collar Christian]

You’re right Sean, it surely would be tragic if all 250 viewers of the Hollywood Mutual Admiration Society’s annual suck off missed the man’s speech.

Z has more important things to do.....Like hide all the evidence of Ukranian money laundering to pay off corrupt American politicians and their children before it falls into Russian hands.

[McGruff]

They still have Oscars?
