Anti-Israel protesters marched through the streets ahead of the Academy Awards calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, criticizing Hollywood's support of U.S.-funded Israeli actions in Gaza. Police issued a dispersal order for unlawful assembly near the Oscars venue. Protests aimed to disrupt the event and highlight retaliation against industry figures critical of Israel.
