dailyloe.com – Sean Penn won his third Academy Award at the 2026 Oscars but chose not to attend the ceremony. He received the Best Supporting Actor award for his role in ‘One Battle After Another.’
This win adds to his previous Oscars for Best Actor in 2004 and 2009. Penn’s absence is linked to his ongoing protest regarding Ukraine support and his criticism of the Academy’s decisions.
Previously, Penn left an Oscar in Ukraine, stating it would remain there until the war ends. He also boycotted the 2022 Oscars after Volodymyr Zelenskyy was denied a speaking opportunity.
His decision to skip this year’s event reinforces his commitment to Ukraine and highlights his stance on social and political issues. Penn’s actions reflect his dedication to activism and may influence public opinion on critical global matters.
By not attending the Oscars, he continues to merge his artistic career with his activism. His example may inspire other entertainment figures to engage with important social issues.
