During his acceptance speech for « The Zone of Interest, » Glazer spoke about « the victims of October the 7th in Israel » and « the ongoing attack on Gaza. »
« Our film shows where dehumanization leads at its worst. It’s shaped all of our past and present, » said the movie’s director and writer during his acceptance speech onstage at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre.
« Right now we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people, » he added. « Whether the victims of October the 7th in Israel or the ongoing attack on Gaza—all the victims of this dehumanization, how do we resist? »
Following the Academy Awards telecast, it was claimed in a post shared on X, formerly Twitter, by @AlsikkanTV that other acceptance speeches had been uploaded onto the Oscars YouTube channel, save for Glazer’s.
Screenshots of other uploaded acceptance speeches were shared to support the assertion, alongside the caption stating that « the Academy’s YouTube is posting all the winners and speeches but they haven’t posted Jonathan Glazer’s yet. »
As of press time, the post has been viewed more than 800,000 times.
