The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, is in talks with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to appear via video at the Oscars on Sunday, according to The Post.
“Academy officials are still debating whether Zelensky will actually appear on the show for a while,” sources said. It is also not clear whether it would appear live or in a recorded message. “Sources said that the discussion is focused on whether the Oscars should not take a political position, as the Russian invasion of Ukraine is raging”, the publication notes.

ABC, which broadcasts the show, is said to be in favor of the Ukrainian president making a statement.
Meanwhile, it is almost certain that Ukrainian-born actress Mila Kunis, who raised $ 35 million with her husband, Aston Kutcher, for Ukrainian refugees, will make a statement during the awards show.
At the same time, a Daily Mail article emphasizes that the possibility of Zelenski appearing at the Oscars is not unlikely. After all, before becoming president of Ukraine, he marked an important career as an actor.

For her part, one of the presenters of this year’s awards, Amy Sumer, when asked about it while invited to a TV show, openly stated her desire for Volodymyr Zelensky to appear at this year’s award.
“I want to find a way to have Zelensky either satellite or videotaped. “I believe that everyone’s eyes will be on the Oscars, so it would be a good opportunity to say some things,” he said.
