The 64th annual Grammys is planning to raise awareness about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
In the wake of 2010’s devastating earthquake in Haiti, Andrea Bocelli, Mary J. Blige and David Foster performed Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” In 2018, following the mass shooting at the Route 91 festival in Las Vegas and a bombing at an Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena, Eric Church, Maren Morris and Brothers Osborne sang Eric Clapton’s “Tears in Heaven.”
Amy Schumer, one of the Oscars’ three co-hosts, and two-time Oscar winner Sean Penn, publicly called on the Oscars to invite Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy to speak either by satellite or in pre-taped form. The Oscars instead called for a moment of silence. Kunis, who was born in Ukraine, addressed the struggle her home country is currently facing. “Recent global events have left many of us feeling gutted,” the actress said. “Yet when you witness the strength of those facing such devastation, it’s impossible not to be moved by their resilience. One cannot help but be in awe of those who find strength to keep fighting through unimaginable darkness.”
Zelenskyy recently appealed to the international community on behalf of his citizens who have been displaced and injured by the war, saying, “On April 9, the biggest online event ‘Social Media Rally’ will support people who were forced to flee Ukraine. I’m inviting everybody: musicians, actors, athletes, businessmen, politicians, everybody. Everyone who wants to join this movement and ‘Stand Up for Ukraine.
