This weekend, Los Angeles hosted the 96th Oscars. Academy Awards 2024 The award of the year is the highest award in cinema. Not only all actors dream about this award, but also directors, screenwriters, costume designers and many others. Winning an Oscar means reaching a certain level of professionalism. Many people never get this award in their careers, no matter how hard they try.
GettyImages The decision of the judiciary does not always coincide with the opinion of the public. They evaluate the performance of a team or individual actor according to strict criteria. Films that win an Oscar touch human emotions, experiences and feelings. Such films remain cult for a long time, they can be reviewed again and again. I don’t know if it will be possible to watch 20 Days in Mariupol over and over again, but this year it won an Oscar.

GettyImages Academy Award 2024 Best Documentary, shot in 2023, featured films such as "Bobby Vine: People's President," "Four Daughters," "Kill a Tiger," "Eternal Memory" and "20 Days in Mariupol." The jury decided to give the Oscar to the Ukrainian film “20 Days in Mariupol”. The film, directed by Mstislav Chernov, tells the horrors of Russia’s repeated invasion of the Ukrainian city of Mariupol. Russia first attempted to seize the city in 2014. The film tells how houses were destroyed, people died, how the defense of the city stood to the last.
Mstislav Chernov together with Vasilisa Stepanenko and Evgeny Maloletka filmed the events that took place in Mariupol in February-March 2022. They remained living witnesses to everything that happened in that period in the city on the shore of the Sea of Azov. The film is based on their photos and short videos that they shot in the occupied city. They saw with their own eyes the horror going on around them. As once beautiful, a modern Ukrainian city has turned into ruins under constant bombardment.
During the presentation of the award “Oscar” Chernov said that this is the first statuette, which received the cinema of Ukraine. And he’s probably the first filmmaker in the history of cinema to wish this movie never happened. I would like to be able to trade this statuette for Russia never to attack Ukraine. Never invade our cities. So that tens of thousands of my compatriots remain alive in Ukraine. I would give this award for the Russians to release all prisoners of war, all civilians they forcibly removed. But I cannot change the course of history. I can't change the past, but today, here among the most talented people in the world, we can all work together to fix the future so that the truth wins. Those who died in Mariupol will never be forgotten. After all, cinema forms memories, and memories form history, Chernov said in his speech.
GettyImages Ukraine received its first Oscar As it became known a little later, the American organizers of The Walt Disney Company Limited cut the award Mstislav Chernov from the shortened version of the award. The Ukrainian side has already expressed its indignation on this occasion. Not everyone watched the live broadcast of the award. Namely, the television version will be broadcast on all TV channels of the world. It is important that as many people as possible see this nomination. Last year, when Alexei Navalny's film also won an Oscar for its documentary, that moment was not cut for the short version of the award.

Thanks to this film, the whole world will be able to see what is really happening in Ukraine. Mariupol, once a beautiful city on the coast of the Sea of Azov, is now under Russian occupation. The fiercest battles were fought in the city in early 2022. Those who managed to get out of the city tell terrible stories of their survival in a city that was surrounded and cut off from the world. Thanks to such documentaries as “20 Days in Mariupol”, Ukrainians have a chance to be heard around the world. Sooner or later, the truth always triumphs, and the lie remains a lie, no matter how much it is repeated.
