SAG actors express shock over Muslim ban

(30 Jan 2017) SHOCK OVER MUSLIM BAN EXPRESSED ON SAG RED CARPET Actors expressed shock over the travel ban President Trump signed over the weekend that restricts entry from seven Muslim countries. The actors were walking the red carpet Sunday (29 JAN. 2017) before the Screen Actors Guild awards in Los Angeles. Lifetime Achievement award winner Lily Tomlin was perplexed by how quickly President Trump has signed executive orders. "I don't know what we can expect! I mean in 10 days this has been like mind-boggling. We just got to hold fast. We've got so much to stand up to, stand up against. We've got to express ourselves and be forceful and vigilant and we have to be strong, we have to. In this nine or 10 days, however long it's been and the doomsday clock has moved up to 2 1/2 minutes. The last time I did a television special 'Lily for President,' Edith Ann was the secretary of the future and the clock was like about 10 minutes to midnight. But now it's closer than it's been in 65 years," Tomlin said. Nominated actor Dev Patel feels for the victims of the ban. "I just flew in from India like two days ago and to receive bad news, I mean it's truly heartbreaking. I mean the first image that went through my head was just these women and children turning up to these shores with hope in their hearts and dreams in their minds and just being turned away. It's just horrible. You know it's really sad that the voice of divisiveness you know can prevail over the one of unity. So I hope, I'm glad that there's people on the streets with courage to be out there expressing love, you know," Patel said. Six-time Tony-winning actress Audra McDonald seemed a little more optimistic. "You know, well I mean, it feels odd to be here and to be on the red carpet when you've got such things going on. But there's a part of me that keeps thinking, you know, art keeps us connected to our humanity. So in a way it's necessary to continue to make sure that art is out there because it will hopefully keep us you know more connected in a way that we need to be so we can empathize and sympathize' s and do it we can to help," McDonald said. Actor Matthew Modine expressed how the controversy has brought Americans together. "You know what? I don't think he knew that he would inadvertently show how great American democracy is. That those people in all those airports across the United States and all those wonderful women that came out to March are demonstrating their First Amendment rights and showing how great this country is and how wonderful democracy is. We got to tip our hat to Donald Trump for making America great again. He said he bring us together," Modine said. "Orange is the New Black" star Lea DeLaria spoke of Iranian director Asghar Farhadi. Since he comes from a banned country, he may not be able to attend the Oscars. "Well, of course he would boycott the Academy (Awards)! He can't get in the country anyways so of course he's going to! Yeah, anyway, of course he's going to boycott the Academy Awards. That's all. I'm just gonna say everyone knows where I stand about this. It's almost redundant for me to talk about it. We have an idiot that is the president of the United States and I do not stand behind this idiot. In fact, in fact, I just want to say Melania, honest, as a feminist I'm worried about you and just give me a sign if you need me to rescue you," DeLaria said. "Transparent" actor Jeffrey Tambor feels that actors have a duty to speak up.
