The 2016 Academy Awards are airing tonight, February 28, and Decider has got all of your Oscars needs satisfied. You can live stream the 2016 Oscars here, and click here to check out the rest of Decider’s coverage.
Not every star in Hollywood is celebrating Oscars tonight. Some of the biggest names in film, television, and music are in Flint, Michigan to organize a star-studded benefit concert for the beleaguered city called #JUSTICEFORFLINT.
The event is being organized by Creed director Ryan Coogler‘s activist collective Blackout for Human Rights. Coogler told Buzzfeed that scheduling #JUSTICEFORFLINT on Oscar night was a coincidence. The idea only came to him at the end of last month and this is the final weekend of Black History Month. Coogler is being supported in the cause by Selma helmer Ava DuVernay, pop star Janelle Monae, actor Jesse Williams, and more. Comedian Hannibal Buress is hosting the event.
Coogler explained the event’s positive mission:
“With the #JUSTICEFORFLINT benefit event we will give a voice to the members of the community who were the victims of the choices of people in power who are paid to protect them, as well as provide them with a night of entertainment, unity, and emotional healing. Through the live stream we will also give a chance for people around the world to participate, and to donate funds to programs for Flint’s youth.”
You can catch the livestream for free on revolt.tv and you can also catch it on YouTube.
If you’d like to help the people of Flint, you can participate via twitter using #JUSTICEFORFLINT or text JUSTICE to 83224 to donate money to the cause.
