The 2024 Oscars took place last night, and as always, the red carpet was filled with celebrities dressed in their best! Everyone makes sure to put their best foot forward for one of Hollywood’s biggest nights.
But some people noticed an interesting detail many celebrities shared…
Last night at the 2024 Oscars, singer Billie Eilish and her brother, producer Finneas. Actors Mark Ruffalo, Ava DuVernay, Ramy Youssef and Quannah Chasinghorse were all wearing a pin on their outfits that left a lot of people scratching their heads.
Later, actor Mahershala Ali, who did not walk the red carpet but stepped on stage to introduce this year’s nominees for the Best Supporting Actor award, was also seen wearing the pin.
Since none of these celebrities have seemingly worked on the same project together, it left a lot of people questioning what the pin signified. The pin in question was a circular red pin that featured a small black heart with the outline of a hand around it.
A lot of people were left wondering what the pin meant. The artists wore these pins to support the call for a ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza. Since Israel launched its war on Gaza, Palestinian health authorities report that so far over 30,000 have been killed since October 7th. Many of those affected by Israel’s attack have been children, as according to statistics, almost half of Gaza’s population are children under 18 years old.
