Benedict Cumberbatch Shows His Support For Ukraine On 2022 Oscars Red Carpet

Actor Benedict Cumberbatch walked Sunday’s Oscars red carpet accompanied by his wife, Sophie Hunter. Theater director Hunter wore a Dior Haute Couture Grecian style one-shoulder floor-length gown while supporting her movie star husband for his nomination for Best Actor award for his leading performance in the multi-nominated The Power of the Dog.

Cumberbatch wore a classic Giorgio Armani tux with a yellow and blue lapel pin, once again showing his support of Ukraine, as its people are suffering during Russia’s invasion. This was Cumberbatch’s second nomination for an Academy Award; he was previously nominated for Best Actor back in 2014 for his work in The Imitation Game. Though the actor didn’t receive an award on Sunday, he was able to witness his director of The Power of the Dog, Jane Campion, winning for Best Director.
