Gary Oldman, recent Best Actor winner, is a notoriously private person, however, some indicators point to a conservative worldview. Oldman objected to the editing of his film ‘The Contender’, allegedly saying it was liberal propaganda. Oldman’s manager called the film a “Goebbels-like piece of propaganda.” Oldman defended Mel Gibson’s drunken anti-Semitic rant, saying “He got drunk and said a few things, but we’ve all said those things. We’re all f***ing hypocrites. That’s what I think about it. The policeman who arrested him has never used the word ‘n**ger’ or ‘that f***ing Jew’? I’m being brutally honest here. It’s the hypocrisy of it that drives me crazy.”


Clint Eastwood

Clint Eastwood spoke at both the 2012 and 2016 Republican National Conventions. In his 2012 speech, he spoke to an empty chair that signified Barack Obama. In 2016, he came under fire for calling Pesky Whipper-Snappers “the Pussy Generation.” During the 2016 campaign, he never really fully supported candidate Trump, telling The Los Angeles Times, “I’m just astounded … I think both individuals and both parties backing the individuals have a certain degree of insanity.”

Allen is also an unabashed conservative who has complained that the failure of his most recent TV show, “Last Man Standing,” was because of his strong conservative views. His cancelled sitcom was known for its conservative slant and constant anti-Obama jokes. After his show’s cancellation, Allen compared being a conservative in Hollywood to the Jews in WW2 Germany. Fans of the show threatened to boycott ABC unless they brought the show back, but ABC confirmed that the show was not cancelled for political reasons, saying “Politics had nothing to do with it.” Allen originally supported Ohio Gov. John Kasich for president in 2016, but ultimately voted for Donald Trump and attended his inauguration in 2017. However, Allen has gone on record to say that he’s not a fan of some of Trump’s extreme rhetoric, especially his anti-Muslim and anti-Mexican views.
