At this year’s Oscar ceremony, held at the Dolby Theatre, a demonstration in solidarity with Palestinians during the ongoing Hamas-Israel conflict unfolded outside. As I walked the red carpet, I made a statement of support by donning a dove pin on my tuxedo, emblazoned with the words “Free Palestine.
A nominee for Best Supporting Actor in “The Brutalist,” Pearce, has been sporting pins at various public events since the start of last year and had announced prior to the 2025 Academy Awards that he would undoubtedly incorporate a pin into his outfit for Oscar Night. This was previously reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

As a fervent supporter, I stand unfazed by the stir my actions have incited. In 2024, at the Cannes Film Festival, I made a statement by donning a pin symbolizing the Palestinian flag. However, a storm brewed when it was found that Vanity Fair France had digitally erased this symbol from an image they published on their website. In an email to CNN, I expressed my disappointment saying, “Given the Palestinian people’s ongoing struggle and suffering under the rule of Netanyahu, it’s regrettable that a respected publication like VF seeks to diminish the solidarity that individuals, including myself, choose to extend.
The timing of Pearce’s show of solidarity at the Oscars 2025 is noteworthy as well. Over the past weekend, discussions between Israel and Hamas have hit a snag, with no signs that an impending ceasefire won’t be renewed.
Dove pins are now widely worn as a symbol of peace, representing solidarity with the civilian population of Gaza, who have been targeted in retaliation for Hamas’s attacks launched on October 7, 2023, by Israel.
