The Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky has requested several times to join in the Oscars ceremony. Unfortunately for him, the Academy members appear to be

snubbing the President. It could potentially mean that the Oscars is trying to remain neutral with the Russia vs Ukraine situation.states, Mike Simpson, a power agent at WME, pleaded with the Academy to consider including the comedic actor-turned-politician, but his efforts were rebuffed. The Academy is not commenting on the matter.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Zelensky’s attempts to connect with the Oscars coincide with a decline in American support for providing aid to Ukraine. After the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Zelenskyy has appeared via satellite at various events, including the Cannes and Venice film festivals.Now he can focus on his country instead of looking for fame.The popular opinion on Zelensky is that he is looking for fame in America.

Because he's a rat that's why i don't like Zelenskyy It's money he wants and those NATO war criminals are uselessAnother Twitter user discusses the possibility that he seemingly is focusing on his acting career as a comedian rather than as a President. Following that, they are speculating that this is the reason why he badly wants to attend the ceremony. Others are accusing the Ukrainian President of wanting more money.

Regardless, the Oscars can provide good exposure for the President and his inputs about what is happening to Ukraine. Despite this, the Oscars are meant for art and are not a political platform. The Academy members have made it crystal clear to the world that it is as such.
