Award Ceremonies and Politics

Are award ceremonies the place to express political views?

Are award ceremonies the place to express political views? Following Meryl Streep's Golden Globes acceptance speech in which she criticised Donald Trump we hear the conversation around celebrities using award ceremonies as platforms for their political views.

Also, after yesterday's lorry attack in east Jerusalem in which four Israeli soldiers were killed, we hear from residents in the region about what life is like there.
