While the world’s attention remains on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, stars headed to Santa Monica’s Barker Hangar for the 2022 SAG Awards on Sunday night.
But plenty of stars — including Tyler Perry and Michael Douglas — showed that their minds were overseas by wearing blue-and-yellow ribbons in a show of support for Ukraine on the red carpet.
“This is not the LA Rams,” Douglas told “Access Hollywood” of his two-tone pin.
“If ever there was a time for us to appreciate what true democracy is, I’m just so proud of what these people of this country have done.”
Lady Gaga and Andrew Garfield both mentioned the Russia-Ukraine war during their red carpet interviews with Laverne Cox, while “Hamilton” actor Leslie Odom Jr. made a statement supporting the latter at the start of the telecast.
Jean Smart asked the crowd to “pray for peace” while accepting her award for her work in “Hacks,” and while celebrating the Best Ensemble in a Drama Series win for “Succession,” star Brian Cox delivered a powerful speech supporting Ukraine.
Many celebrities have spoken out in support of the country on social media as well, including Milla Jovovich (who was born in the country’s capital city of Kyiv), Ashton Kutcher (whose wife, Mila Kunis, is Ukrainian-born), and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Sean Penn, meanwhile, is currently in Ukraine filming a documentary about the crisis.
