Several stars showed their support for a ceasefire in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war during the 2024 Oscars.
Billie Eilish, Finneas, Mark Ruffalo, Ava DuVernay, Ramy Youssef and Mahershala Ali were among the celebrities who wore red pins on their pricey garments Sunday night to show their support for Gaza in the deadly war.
The pin featured an outline of a hand around a black heart and was created for the celebrities to stand in solidarity with Artists 4 Ceasefire, a group of more than 400 artists and advocates who want an immediate end to the war, which has reportedly taken the lives of more than 30,000 people in the last five months.

Eilish, 22, proudly sported her pin on her black Chanel blazer as she posed on the red carpet with her brother, Finneas O’Connell.
Youssef, an actor who stars in one of the Oscars’ most-nominated films “Poor Things,” wore his pin on the lapel of his black tuxedo jacket.
“There’s a part of you that hopes it doesn’t have to get to pins,” he told PvNew in an interview on the red carpet Sunday.
“There’s a part of us that hoped we would already be at a cease-fire, and we’re not.”
Ruffalo, 56, wore his pin on the lapel of his black suit, while DuVernay sported hers on the chest area of her light-blue Louis Vuitton gown.
