Talent agency scraps Oscars party, holds rally instead In lieu of its traditional Oscars Party, United Talent Agency holds a rally in honor of refugees. Hundreds gather in front of the agency's headquarters for music and speeches from Hollywood names like Jodi Foster, Michael J. Fox, and Iranian director Asghar Farhadi. The Oscar nominated director addressed the crowd via Skype from Tehran, as he will not attend the ceremony out of protest of Trump's immigration policies. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
