It is also worth noting that one of the nominees for Best Supporting Actor was Russian actor Yuri Borisov for his role in the movie Anora, which caused a stir in the Russian media and outrage among the Ukrainian film community. By the way, the actor is an ardent supporter of Russian propaganda. In particular, he starred in propaganda films such as “Kalashnikov”, which was filmed in the occupied Crimea.
Borisov is also a member of the Myrotvorets database.
Oscar winners Emma Stone, Cillian Murphy, Davin Joy Randolph and Robert Downey Jr. will announce the winners in four main acting categories at the Oscar ceremony.

A significant part of the amount is related to construction services included in the package specifically for the stars whose homes were damaged by the Los Angeles fires.
