Oscar Winner Stands Up to Putin: Jared Leto Waves Ukraine Flag in Kiev Performance

(Language Warning) At the 86th Academy Awards when Jared Leto received an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role in “Dallas Buyers Club,” he thanked the dreamers in Ukraine and Venezuela during his acceptance speech.

Last night he backed up those words with action by waving the Ukraine flag and leading the audience in a “Glory to Ukraine!” chant. During his band’s “30 Seconds to Mars” concert at the Sports Palace in Kiev, Leto thanked the crowd for their fight.
