Industry pros, entertainers and civilians assembled by the hundreds today for United Talent Agency’s “United Voices” rally outside the company’s Beverly Hills headquarters.
Among the featured speakers at the event protesting Trump administration immigration policies was Oscar-winner Jodie Foster, who told the crowd that “it’s time to engage.”
“As the very, very dead Frederick Douglass one said, ‘Anytime is a good time for illumination,'” Foster said. “And this is the time for illumination. I believe this time is filled with light.” UTA canceled its annual Oscars bash and organized the event after Donald Trump issued an executive order temporarily banning immigration from several majority-Muslim nations. The ban was repeatedly halted by Federal courts and the administration eventually abandoned it. Trump is expected to unveil another executive order on immigration some time next week.
UTA Oscar Protest Among those present were Rodrigo Moran and Meron Semedar from the advocacy group Refugee Nation. The duo were invited to attend by UTA, and carried with them a large orange flag designed by a Syrian refugee named Yara Said. Said, said Moran, based the flag on the life vest she wore while escaping from the war-torn Middle Eastern nation.
“I’m here to hopefully lend some credence to the notion that Donald Trump doesn’t represent all of America,” said commercial photographer August Gering. “Hopefully, the majority of this country strongly disagrees with the things he’s trying to do, and we won’t stand for it.”
“Outlander” star Sam Heughan was also on hand, telling TheWrap. “We’re just here, not to bash anyone.” Europe, he said, wants “the best for this glorious country. America’s such a great country, we look up to you guys and we know you’ll do the right thing.”

She was ok when she was younger. Then she developed a taste for carpet.
Might be the least watched Oscars ever.
Yeah. Smug little bitch. My lady agent was mad at how I reacted like I’m supposed to bow down to this tart.
Brown has more years at it
Jody Foster - oh yes, the actress that was responsible for Reagan getting shot, wasn’t she?
Robert Davi, the actor, was on with Tucker Carlson tonight. He thinks it’s long past time for Hollywood to “invite” a bunch of illegals to be their “guests” at the Oscars and the follow on parties. And lastly, he thinks they should let them camp out at the star’s homes or in the local park in Hollywood over night!
A lot of celebrities think they should be worshipped and are shocked when they aren’t.
I elysium during a triple feature, which was a very bad movie. Her acting and fake couldn’t even place accent were the worst in the whole movie. I don’t know how she gets work.
Shut up and act you ungrateful rich a**es.
Hopefully her friend in Williamsburg is not paying attention.
Their ideas are as dead as poor ole Fred.
The CP asks me every weekend if there is a movie that I would like to see.
I always reply...
“NO”
Jodie, you need to accept the truth. Trump won the election, and he is your president, too.
Jodie has done well as a director and in certain movies.
I’m disappointed but unsurprised to discover that she sees her sexuality as her credo or personal religion.
It’s an very uncompromising type of faith.
Oh. Maybe she has a new movie coming out, or perhaps an ebook?
I can’t wait to get rid of the flu. I’ve had it for over three weeks now and it looks like I’m posting drunk or like a youtube commenter ;)
Actually, it was at the Elysium after-party LOL. One of the crew is a Freeper (promised not to name him) and he knew my agent, who was his ex-GF. Man, was she mad and I promised to bring her to In N Out to chill out haha.
Wow she has really,warped away from reality.
Goes to show a high iq score doesnt really mean anything if you fill your head with crap ideologies.
