Less than a month after a school shooting that killed 17 people, several celebrities are reportedly planning to use the Oscars as a platform to raise awareness for gun control.
People magazine reports that a group of A-listers will don orange pins from Everytown for Gun Safety, a nonprofit organization that advocates for gun control and works to reduce gun violence.
Orange is the unofficial color that has come to be associated with various gun-control causes. Everytown sells orange American flag pins on its website, but it's not immediately clear if those are the exact pins that will be worn during the demonstration.

... and conversely.
Beavis: "Heh, heh. What's with all these ribbons people are wearing?"
Butthead: "Uh...that's so we'll know that they're famous."
I won’t watch either. Used to LOVE the oscars but since they keep insulting me I’ve decided to withdraw from the destructive relationship.
Does Bloomberg have any armed security personnel?
“Wonder if they have armed guards at the Oscars?”
Wonder if they check ID at the door
If you offer a fat kid candy, don’t be surprised when he eats it.
The intention is to take guns from non-violent people and deliberately leave them in the hands of violent criminals.
“Nuts and fruits for Gypsy Boots.”
Orange? I thought that was the color to protest Anita Bryant and her stance on homos.
I am so confused. :-)
...as they enter their heavily armed, locked-down perimeter with their personal armed bodyguards, police, and hired security personnel.
I would suppose at this point Hollywood is running out of colors, so they are going to have to recycle.
What a joke. They all have armed guards.
When you put it like that, it’s amazing that God hasn’t rained fire and brimstone upon L.A. the way He did with Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding plain.
They may have to resort to that to get anyone to watch, if they keep up this nonsense.
Shut up and act.
It has become comical. A month or so ago, all the stars decided they would dress for a funeral in head to toe black at the Golden Globes. The ladies brought along their #MeToo chaperones in tow. Host Seth Meyers looked pained at every lame joke he cracked, wondering if he'd crossed the line and torpedoed his career. The men all cringed, knowing each of them were guilty for using their star power at some point in the past to bed a nubile young hottie.
One star, I forget her name, less well-known, decided she would be an individual and dress in a sexy red number, lots of cleavage and legs. She made the mistake of thinking entertainment awards shows were supposed to be fun, not mournful.
She was roasted over the coals. "WE ARE TO BE WEARING BLACK! NOT RED!"
I won't be watching tonight but I'd bet there will not be a single attendee on that stage who forgoes the orange ribbon.
Yep. They don't get it. Hollywood has one job. Entertain us. And they can't even do that.
Orange pins? I suggest they wear orange jumpsuits.
Can someone please post a picture of the Juden star gun control advocates used in the 1930s and 1940s. Thanks.
We need a new movie rating system. Any movie with a gun it should have a minimum viewing age of 21.
