Actors Joaquin Phoenix and Elliott Gould, as well as directors Emma Seligman and Boots Riley are several of the 151 signers of a letter supporting director Jonathan Glazer.
Glazer’s controversial Oscar speech, given after he won Best International film for “The Zone of Interest, included comments on Israel-Hamas war and what he said was a misuse of Jewish identity and the history of the Holocaust.
“We are Jewish artists, filmmakers, writers and creative professionals who support Jonathan Glazer’s statement from the 2024 Oscars. We were alarmed to see some of our colleagues in the industry mischaracterize and denounce his remarks,” the letter states.
