According to The Hollywood Reporter, the blue ribbon effort is part of the new "Stand with ACLU" initiative launched this week. The ACLU reached out to all of the major nominees to participate in the initiative. Nominees Ruth Negga and Lin-Manuel Miranda were seen early on Sunday wearing the ribbons, and "Manchester by the Sea" star Casey Affleck was seen wearing the ribbon when he won for Best Male Lead at Saturday's Independent Spirit Awards.
Woo! Love Ruth Negga, who portrayed our client Mildred Loving in @lovingthefilm. #ThisisLoving #Oscars https://t.co/t9xxxbv8KF

Thanks @Lin_Manuel, glad you gladly join the fight. And when our children tell our story, they'll tell the story of tonight. #Oscars https://t.co/k5wgvUFRlt
