Actress protests naked at France’s Oscars ceremony over Covid arts support
A French actress stripped naked at the country’s prestigious César Awards to demand more support for the country’s struggling arts industry, which has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic.
Actress Corinne Masiero, 57, took to the stage at France’s equivalent of the Oscars wearing a fake donkey skin and a blood stained dress to present the award for the best costume, before undressing.
The actress had “no culture no future” written on her torso, and “give us our art back, Jean” on her back, in a direct address to French Prime Minister Jean Castex.
