Celebrities transformed awards show close-ups into political spaces in recent years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most infamous example? Leonardo DiCaprio used his Best Actor speech to promote Climate Change alarmism.<\/p>\n

Lately, the stars have dialed back on political posturing during awards season. Even the recent Golden Globes telecast featured few overtly political messages. A certain real estate mogul’s name didn’t even come up.<\/p>\n

Indie director Jim Jarmusch didn’t get the memo.<\/p>\n

The man behind “Broken Flowers,” “Stranger than Paradise” and “Paterson” used his time at Wednesday’s New York Film Critics Circle Awards gala to speak out on the raging L.A.-area fires.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are all worried about our friends in LA,\u201d said Jarmusch at the gala. \u201cClimate crisis is brought to you by climate deniers \u2026 They are telling us that woke is a negative thing, and I would just like to say it\u2019s time we wake the f*** up!\u201d<\/p>\n

There’s no evidence at this point to pin the blame on Climate Change. We do know L.A. Mayor Karen Bass slashed the L.A. Fire Department’s budget by a whopping $17.6 million<\/a> and that state officials did little to prepare for such an emergency.<\/p>\n

Instead, firefighting officials praised internal DEI efforts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jarmusch made the comments while presenting NYFCC\u2019s Best Screenplay award to Sean Baker\u2019s “Anora,” a favorite to snag more than a few Oscar nominations later this month. Other stars at the gala struck more conciliatory notes, wishing those in harm’s way well and sharing hopeful messages.<\/p>\n

Not Jarmusch.<\/p>\n

His comments came after Bass stood by silently as a European journalist pelted her with tough but fair questions about her role in the crisis. It’s the most uncomfortable exchange in recent memory.<\/p>\n

\n

WOW! You can actually see the exact moment Karen Bass realizes her political career is over\u2026<\/p>\n

Watch her stunned silence when she\u2019s asked if she regrets cutting the LA fire department\u2019s budget.
