Receiving an award from your peers for years spent in the film industry would likely leave you feeling grateful for the acknowledgment of your talent.

By transforming an awards ceremony into a political statement, she establishes a problematic trend for future award shows in the weeks ahead.
Allow actors to perform and let the public choose their President without interference.
