Jane Fonda has questioned the Academy’s decision on why Barbara Streisand-and not her- was asked to pay a tribute to Robert Redford on the Oscars stage on Sunday night during the In Memoriam segment at the Oscars.&nbsp;&nbsp;On Sunday night, veteran singer-actress Barbara Streisand paid a warm tribute to actor Robert Redford, who died in September 2025.&nbsp;<h2>‘I have more to say’</h2>During the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, Jane Fonda was asked by Entertainment Tonight about her thoughts on this year’s In Memoriam montage, specifically about the late Diane Keaton. Keaton and Fonda worked together in Book Club in 2018 and then later its 2023 sequel.&nbsp;&nbsp;“Oh, I didn’t see that!” Fonda said, referring to the moment when Rachel McAdams paid tribute to her “The Family Stone” co-star Keaton. “Oh God, her passing really hit me hard. We lost a lot of talented people.”&nbsp;Fonda then playfully quipped, “I want to know, how come Streisand was up there doing that for Redford? She only made one movie with him. I made four! I have more to say.”<h2>Jane Fonda remembers Robert Redford</h2>When the veteran star was asked to talk about Redford, Fonda laughed and said, “I was always in love with him.”&nbsp;Redford died on Sept. 16, 2025, at the age of 89. He and Fonda starred in four films together, including The Chase, Barefoot in the Park, The Electric Horseman, and Our Souls at Night.&nbsp;Fonda also described Redford as the “most gorgeous human being” who had “such great values.”&nbsp;“He did a lot for movies.

He said, "If I can be serious for just a moment, everyone watching right now around the world is all too aware that these are very chaotic, frightening times.

Netizens slam after Demon Hunters' Golden speech cut midway at Oscars British actress Charithra Chandran, who is best known for her role as Edwina in the second season of Bridgerton, was among those wearing the badge during the ceremony. She said, 'What we are demanding is a ceasefire in Gaza. I think that I am so blessed to have a platform, and this is the least I could do to use it. Sometimes the news cycle is so fast and people move on, but the people in Gaza and the West Bank are still suffering, according to a report by The Hollywood Reporter. Actor Javier Bardem, who was a presenter alongside Priyanka Chopra, had called for 'No to war and free Palestine'. In addition, he also noted that the pin he wore was the same one he used 23 years ago to protest the 2003 Iraq war. His comment garnered huge applause from the audience. This comes out amid the regional tensions and reported US-Israel strikes in Iran. He wore a patch that said “no a la guerra” – Spanish for “no to war” – as well as a Handala pin on the carpet, a symbol originally created by cartoonist Naji al-Ali that has come to represent the Palestinian people and their resistance.

What's happening with ICE? It's all connected. We are all the same; we are all human, and hatred is a cancer. People should open their hearts; our governments should acknowledge the other and be accountable for their atrocities everywhere." Norwegian director Joachim Trier used his acceptance speech after winning Best International Feature for Sentimental Value to reflect on society’s responsibility to protect children. He stated, “All adults are responsible for all children. Let’s not vote for politicians who don’t take this seriously,” he said, noting that he was invoking the words of writer and activist James Baldwin."

Tell me it’s Academy things without telling me it’s Academy! Interrupting speeches midway is something that the Oscars organisers have been doing for a while now, and continuing the tradition, they did it again today at the 98th edition of the awards when the K-pop Demon Hunters song “Golden” made history by becoming the first Korean song to win Best Original Song.&nbsp;“Golden” is sung by Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami. To receive the trophy, Ejae, along with fellow songwriters Mark Sonnenblick, Joong Gyu Kwak, Yu Han Lee, Hee Dong Nam, Jeong Hoon Seo and Teddy Park, went on stage to accept the award and share in the honour. But as they were celebrating, their happiness was cut short abruptly.
