Protesters Calling for Ceasefire in Gaza Block Traffic & Delay Start of Oscars
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hundreds of protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza blocked traffic
on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood Sunday, forcing a short delay to the
start of the Oscars. Several actors and musicians wore red
Artists4Ceasefire pins, including Billie Eilish, Ramy Youssef and Mark
Ruffalo, who arrived late to the ceremony due to the protests.

Mark Ruffalo: "It's starting. We're late. We're late. The Palestinian
protests shut down the Oscars tonight. Humanity wins."
