More than 5,000 actors and filmmakers, including Joaquin Phoenix, Javier Bardem and Mark Ruffalo, signed an open letter on Sept. 9 pledging to boycott Israeli film groups.

Now, more than 1,200 other Hollywood figures, among them Liev Schreiber, Mayim Bialik and Sharon Osbourne, have signed a similar letter rejecting the boycott.

The good news is that this list of d-list creeps is like 20% versus the letter from decent people.

It's nice that these awful people are putting their names on a list that's easy to look up.

Read through the full list of signatories. Of the very few names that I recognize, the only one that really surprised/bothered me is Amy Sherman-Palladino. So, I’m happy that this letter alerted me to what a giant piece of shit she is. Also, it’s lowkey hilarious that Sharon Osbourne is perhaps the only one on the list that has no job description next to their name.
