Iranian director Asghar Farhadi might not attend the Academy Awards because of President trump’s ban on people from Middle Eastern nation, like Iran, from entering the United States.
Farhadi is nominated for best foreign film for his movie “The salesman.”
National Iranian American Council President Trita Parsi broke the story on social media.
Confirmed: Iran’s Asghar Farhadi won’t be let into the US to attend Oscar’s. He’s nominated for best foreign language film…#MuslimBan

The awards are still about a month away but rather than waiting to see if an exception is made for the director, social media went off on the president.
@tparsi omg are you serious? Wowwww I sure hope those who voted for asshole Trump realize what they have done

A director might not attend an awards show. Whatever will America do?
@tparsi @Str84NOH8 Travesty. Narrow-minded ignorance. / As the sign read at the #WomensMarchOnWashington All DT’s wives were immigrants.

Counterpoint. None of President Trump’s wives ever participated in a terrorist attack.
Second counterpoint. Marla Maples was born in the state of Georgia.
@IranNewsNow @tparsi exactly. Maybe they can get Meryl Streep to announce

@tparsi Oscars should not be held in show of solidarity.

Yes. Don’t give millionaire Hollywood liberals trophies for doing their job. That will teach those Trump supporters.
If the Academy of motion picture arts & sciences decides to CANCEL the Oscars,
Change WOULD occur!!!#NationalUnion

This is the greatest idea liberals have had in years.
@tparsi @makhondlovu how will Hollywood react? Last year they called for a boycott because of representation issues. Will it happen again?

And CNN’s Brian Stelter was one of the first to comment, asking Parsi for more information.
@tparsi hello, CNN reporter here, can you tell me how you’ve confirmed this?

Meanwhile, several Middle Eastern travelers were prevented from coming to the United States on Friday, but one of them, an Iraqi who worked as a translator for the American government, was allowed to enter on Saturday.
