On the Emmys red carpet, the 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story' actor addressed the active warfare between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Javier Bardem took a moment on the 2025 Emmys red carpet to call on “Israel to stop this genocide” in Palestine.
While speaking with The Hollywood Reporter ahead of the 77th Emmy Awards ceremony, the actor didn’t want to talk about Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story but rather the ongoing active warfare between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
“At the end of August, the IAGS, the International Association of Genocide Scholars who studied thoroughly the concept of genocide, called what is going on in Gaza today a genocide,” Bardem said. “And that’s why we ask for the commercial and diplomatic blockade and the sanctions on Israel to stop this genocide. Free Palestine.”
He continued, “We are getting together Film Workers for Palestine. It’s a great union [and] group that is getting more and more people attached. It’s also important to clarify to Paramount that we do not target individuals by their identity. That’s absolutely wrong. Don’t send that message, that is a wrong thing. What we target are those complicit film companies and institutions that are involved in whitewashing or justifying the genocide of Israel in Gaza and its apartheid regime. And we stand with those who fight and stand in solidarity with the oppressed.”
Bardem added that he “will never work with some company now [who] are not condemning the genocide in Gaza.” And if that impacts the number of jobs he books, he said, “Me not getting jobs is absolutely relevant compared to what is going on there.”
Earlier this month, Film Workers for Palestine announced a new pledge to boycott working with Israeli film institutions and companies that are “implicated in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people.” More than 1,300 filmmakers, actors, creatives and other industry professionals signed the pledge.
Bardem is nominated for best supporting actor in a limited or anthology series or movie for Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. He portrayed Jose Menendez in the show, alongside Cooper Koch’s Erik Menendez, Nicholas Alexander Chavez’s Lyle Menendez and Chloë Sevigny’s Kitty Menendez.
Hacks star Megan Stalter also walked the Emmys red carpet wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, paired with a black bag displaying writing that read, “Cease Fire!,” seemingly referencing the ongoing war in Gaza.
The 77th Emmy Awards, hosted by Nate Bargatze, aired live from the Peacock Theater at L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday, Sept. 14. Check out all the red carpet arrivals and 2025 Emmy winners.

I guess I can't blame him, since his prime minister wants to nuke Israel.
Anton Chigurh is a Palestinian. Perfect.
Maybe this schmuck should have told Hamas to not slaughter innocent men, women, and children on Oct 7th, put babies in ovens, choke to death Kfir and Arial Bibas, and take HUNDREDS of innocent Israeli’s into Gaza to hold them as hostages so they can rape them every single second of everyday..maybe he should speak out about THAT but nah, so much easier to blame the Jews
Gaza stop your genocide of Israeli Jews!
There, fixed it.
The Emmys are on tonight?
How about trannies, illegals, and psycho blacks stop their genocide?
Stop putting Israeli babies in ovens.
They have been trying to stop the genocide, ever since 10/7.
Israel is stopping the genocide that Hamas started.
Not taking moral cues from people that celebrate murder.
That's pretty much the gist of his career.
If it wasn't for this stunt tonight, no one would even be thinking of him. Maybe that's why he's suddenly "outspoken".
Who cares.
Emmy, Oscar, Tony, Grammy.
It’s been so long since I cared, I had to look up the last two.
Javier Bardem can GTFO with that 💩.

Yeah, they’re on all right but they’re kinda off too.
Without contradiction from Gaza and Hamas supporters, many Gazans in the months after 10/7 called for “10 more October 7s.”
It seems they’re eager to dish it, just not take it, eh?
The Emmys are firmly in my “who the eff cares” category. Just another self celebratory, narcissistic circle jerk for people who are good at pretending they are other people.

Shut up
Sure... And lets bring back the Spanish Inquisition and get rid of all the Jews... Hypocrites will be hypocrites and Javier Bardem is a hypocrite.
Given the bloody anti-Semitic history of Spain, nobody from that country including any privileged Spanish actors, have any right to lecture Israel on any subject.
Javier: Shut Up and sing.
