Quinta Brunson's show Abbott Elementary renewed for season 4 at ABC

A group of influential actors, including Mark Ruffalo, Jessica Chastain, Cate Blanchett, Quinta Brunson, Rosario Dawson, Oscar Isaac, Joaquin Phoenix, Alyssa Milano, Jon Stewart, and many others, have penned an impassioned letter addressed to President Joe Biden, urging him to take swift action to secure an immediate ceasefire in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.

The letter, which includes signatures from prominent Jewish, Muslim, and Christian actors, reflects a shared humanitarian concern for the escalating violence and loss of life in the region. More than 5,000 people have lost their lives in the past week and a half, a toll that the signatories describe as catastrophic and morally unacceptable.

In the heartfelt letter, the actors call upon President Biden, as the leader of the United States, to use his authority to de-escalate the situation and facilitate a ceasefire without further delay. They emphasise that every life in the Holy Land is sacred, regardless of faith or ethnicity, and unequivocally condemn the killing of both Palestinian and Israeli civilians.

The letter not only appeals to President Biden but also implores all world leaders to join the efforts to stop the violence. The actors emphasise the urgency of ending the bombing of Gaza and ensuring the safe release of hostages.

The dire situation in Gaza is underscored by the fact that half of its two million residents are children, with over two-thirds being refugees and their descendants who have been displaced from their homes. The letter calls for immediate access to humanitarian aid to alleviate the suffering of the people in the region.

The actors express their belief in the United States' potential to play a pivotal diplomatic role in resolving the conflict and emphasise that saving lives is a moral imperative. They echo the sentiments of UNICEF and other humanitarian organisations by stressing the importance of compassion and adherence to international law.

The full text of the letter is below.

<blockquote>
Dear President Biden,

We come together as artists and advocates, but most importantly as human beings witnessing the devastating loss of lives and unfolding horrors in Israel and Palestine.

We ask that, as President of the United States, you call for an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Gaza and Israel before another life is lost. More than 5,000 people have been killed in the last week and a half – a number any person of conscience knows is catastrophic. We believe all life is sacred, no matter faith or ethnicity and we condemn the killing of Palestinian and Israeli civilians.

We urge your administration, and all world leaders, to honor all of the lives in the Holy Land and call for and facilitate a ceasefire without delay – an end to the bombing of Gaza, and the safe release of hostages. Half of Gaza’s two million residents are children, and more than two thirds are refugees and their descendants being forced to flee their homes. Humanitarian aid must be allowed to reach them.

We believe that the United States can play a vital diplomatic role in ending the suffering and we are adding our voices to those from the US Congress, UNICEF, Doctors without Borders, The International Committee of The Red Cross, and so many others. Saving lives is a moral imperative. To echo UNICEF, “Compassion — and international law — must prevail.”

As of this writing, more than 6,000 bombs have been dropped on Gaza in the last 12 days – resulting in one child being killed every 15 minutes.

Beyond our pain and mourning for all of the people there and their loved ones around the world we are motivated by an unbending will to stand for our common humanity. We stand for freedom, justice, dignity and peace for all people – and a deep desire to stop more bloodshed.

We refuse to tell future generations the story of our silence, that we stood by and did nothing. As Emergency Relief Chief Martin Griffiths told UN News, “History is watching.”

Hollywood actors urge President Joe Biden to propose ceasefire in Gaza and Israel

Jimmy Kimmel&nbsp;faced a lot of backlash for his comedy skit which he performed during Quinta Brunson's acceptance speech after she won her first Emmy for outstanding writing for a comedy series for 'Abbott Elementary'. 
 
However, now Kimmel is regretting his actions that turned out to be weird. On the recent episode of his show 'Jimmy Kimmel Live', the comedian took some time and apologised to Quinta, who was the guest of the evening.&nbsp; 
 
During the episode, Quinta was the first who interrupted Jimmy's opening monologue by showing off her golden trophy and telling how Kimmel's action&nbsp;took 45-seconds of her speech time.&nbsp; 
 
However, when she sat down on the couch, Kimmel first congratulated her for the historic win and said, “I feel like I just saw you. Congratulations on your Emmy. I missed it. How did it go?” 
 
Later, calling his actions “dumb comedy bit”, he added, ''And then people said I stole your moment and maybe I did, and I’m sorry I did do that,”&nbsp; 
 
“Also, the last thing I would ever want to do is upset you because I think so much of you. I think you know that. I hope you know that.”

Brunson generously replied and said, ''Jimmy let me just say thank you.” Further adding, “It’s very kind of you to say that. Honestly, I was in such a moment of having a good time. I won my first Emmy! I was up there like, you know, happy! And I was wrapped up in the moment, just having a good time. I didn’t see any of that ….honestly, I had a good night. It was a good night and a good time.” 
 
This all happened after Kimmel and Will Arnett appeared on the Emmy stage to present the award. As part of his comedy skit, Kimmel was passed out. However, after the award was announced, the late-night show host remained in the same position, despite all the efforts Arnett and Quinta did to&nbsp;remove Kimmel from the way. 
 
"Jimmy, wake up. I won," Quinta said, to which, Kimmel only gave her a thumbs-up but he continued to lie down.&nbsp;

Jimmy Kimmel apologises to Quinta Brunson for his Emmys skit, 'That was a dumb comedy bit'

Jimmy Kimmel's latest joke on the Emmy stage was not considered funny by many viewers. The popular TV show host and comedian lay on the stage, seemingly 'passed-out' as Quinta Brunson went up on stage to accept her award for best writing in comedy series.&nbsp; 
 
Kimmel and Will Arnett appeared on stage to present the award but Kimmel appeared passed out. Arnett quipped to the crown that this is the "13th time in a row that he’s lost and he just got into the skinny margaritas back there."&nbsp; 
 
As Brunson's name was announced for her work in 'Abbott Elementary', Kimmel lay on the ground with Arnett trying to push Kimmel out of the way. Brunson also quipped, "Jimmy, wake up. I won." Kimmel gave her a thumbs-up but continued to lie down on the stage throughout the speech, and it wasn’t until after Brunson was done that Arnett dragged him back off. 
 
Arnett tried to push Kimmel out of the way to make room for the winner, with Brunson telling him, “Jimmy, wake up. I won." For her part, Brunson appeared to be a good sport about the bit, adding the late-night host’s name to the end of her list of thank-you’s. 
 
Later backstage when Brunson was asked about the moment she said it didn't bother her much but that she wasn't sure how the internet would react.&nbsp; 
 
She revealed that Kimmel was the host who provided her first major late-night appearance and had previously told her he considers Abbott Elementary to be one of TV’s great comedies. 
 
"I think in that moment, I was just really happy that it was Jimmy up there,” she told reporters. “I kind of consider him one of the comedy godfathers; I’m a huge fan of Will Arnett, so I was wrapped up in the moment. I don’t know — tomorrow maybe I’ll be mad at him. I’m gonna be on his show on Wednesday, so I might punch him in the face. I don’t know. We'll see what happens.”

While Brunson seem to have taken it sportingly, the internet was not happy with Kimmel's idea of a practical joke.&nbsp;Many felt it didn’t appear to be a respectful decision to remain on the stage during her big moment.

Emmys 2022: Jimmy Kimmel slammed for lying onstage during Quinta Brunson's acceptance speech 

Hollywood actor Quinta Brunson has joined&nbsp;director Eric Appel’s upcoming biographical drama&nbsp;‘Weird: The Al Yankovic Story’ opposite ‘Harry Potter’ fame Daniel Radcliffe. Brunson will be seen playing the legendary talk show host Oprah Winfrey, while Radcliffe will play the character of the American musical maestro in the movie which is touted as a musical comedy-drama.&nbsp;

A recent picture from the film shows the 'Abbott Elementary’ creator fully transformed into Oprah Winfrey in her signature 80s hairstyle. Given the period setting for the movie, Quinta can be seen wearing a burnt orange midi dress featuring a large belt, cinched to her waist.&nbsp;

The image shows Radcliffe standing next to her wearing a colourful, eccentric beach shirt, a curly wig, and tinted vintage shades. While he also has a necklace which seems to be made of CD discs.&nbsp;

Sharing the photo on Twitter, Quinta wrote, "Let's get #weird."
