Thank you,” Sean responds. The “IronOscar” has an engraving: “This steel once carried millions of people away from war. Then a Russian missile came. We did not melt it into a weapon. We forged it into gratitude — for you. For your talent. For your courage to stand with Ukraine.” Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy added on social media: “Sean, thanks to you, we know what a true friend of Ukraine is. You have stood with Ukraine since the first day of the full-scale war. This is still true today. And we know that you will continue to stand with our country and our people.” If you didn’t know, Sean has been spending a lot of time in Ukraine and offering his assistance since Russia invaded the country in 2022. With his win for One Battle After Another, Sean has joined one of the most exclusive clubs in Oscars history.
