Joaquin Phoenix has famously been averse to campaigning, however, this season he has jumped in, and has paired his Oscars pursuit with animal rights and climate change activism
Amid Oscar campaigning and protesting for animal rights, the 'Joker' frontrunner has been driving a covert movement that's transformed five events to meat-free menus:"He knows he's in a good position to push."
Behind the scenes, sources say Phoenix has spearheaded an effort to turn this season's awards shows vegan, beginning with the Golden Globes. After he lobbied the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to goat the event, it made a last-minute switch. When Phoenix took the Globes podium on Jan. 5, he acknowledged the HFPA for its "very bold move making tonight plant-based. It really sends a powerful message.
Since then, the Academy has jumped on board, offering a plant-based menu at its Jan. 27 Nominees Luncheon, then announcing that all food served in the Dolby Theatre lobbies Feb. 9 before the Oscars will be vegan. The Wolfgang Puck-catered Governors Ball, which previously offered a 50 percent plant-based or vegetarian menu, will upshift to 70 percent. Meanwhile, Phoenix's agency, WME, is going plant-based for its Oscars-weekend party.
