We’re talking 1,000 private security guards, LAPD SWAT teams, bomb-sniffing dogs, and a fleet of surveillance drones circling overhead. Why the sudden affection for “law and order” and &#8220;border security&#8221; from the crowd that usually spends its awards speeches demanding we abolish both?</p>

These are the same people who vowed to boycott Israeli film institutions for &#8220;apartheid.&#8221; Now they’re relying on U.S. federal intelligence to ensure an Iranian drone doesn&#8217;t crash their red carpet.</p>
