Actress Natasha Rothwell went off-script and condemned ICE when she spoke at the Independent Spirit Awards on Sunday.
Similar to the Grammys earlier this month, many celebrities used the awards ceremony as an opportunity to condemn the men and women in uniform at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as President Donald Trump’s administration works to enforce immigration law.
Natasha Rothwell, a writer and actress known for her involvement in “The White Lotus,” “Insecure” and “Saturday Night Live,” went a step further than just wearing an anti-ICE pin.
“Hello everyone! I’m going to the prompter, but I just want to say, ‘f— ICE,'” she said, as applause erupted from the audience. She then introduced the series ‘Chief of War’, which went on to win the award for Best Ensemble Cast in a New Scripted Series.

The same newspaper noted that another celebrity used this awards ceremony as a moment of political reflection.
“Train Dreams” director Clint Bentley mused on the purpose of art in today’s political climate as he accepted the award for best director, saying, “I’ve been thinking a lot, I think like all of us, what’s the point sometimes?”

He continued, “And yet, in a world where so many people are trying to build walls, put people in cages, and divide people, we form little communities and bring goodness into the world. And if there are a lot of people trying to do the opposite, I think it’s worth it. Who knows where it will lead us, but I think it’s worth it to try to make the world a little better with every little step.”
