Kill Bill star Daryl Hannah was the first celebrity to bring Ukraine to front of mind at the Oscars on Sunday when she took to the stage and began her remarks by showing her support on the world famous stage. Hannah presented the award for Best Editing, but before she could read the carefully chosen words on the teleprompter and hand the award to director-editor Sean Baker for Anora, she said “Slava Ukraine,” which translates to “Glory to Ukraine.” Hannah was greeted with applause from the crowd for her call out to the country, after its president Volodymyr Zelensky was subjected to a shouting match with Donald Trump and JD Vance in the Oval Office on Friday. The Blade Runner star is known for her environmental activism and has been vocal about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the ensuing war since it began three years ago. Hannah is a consistent critic of Trump and his right-hand Elon Musk on the platform Bluesky.
