Feb 3 2017 - 12:30am

When The Big Bang Theory star Simon Helberg got ready for this year's SAG Awards [1], he wasn't worried about his hair or his stylish tuxedo; he was determined to make a political statement on the red carpet, and it definitely worked. While posing for photos, Simon held a sign reading "REFUGEES WELCOME," while his wife, actress Jocelyn Towne, had "LET THEM IN" written in bold letters across her chest.

While many presenters and nominees alike have been speaking out against Donald Trump [2]'s recent Muslim Ban and the huge protests his executive order caused [3], Simon and Jocelyn's statements had all eyes on them, as they proudly brought the protests to the red carpet.
