The conservative provocateur who calls himself Sabo took aim at Hollywood days before the Academy Awards.
With a nod to the Oscar-nominated Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, conservative street artist Sabo has hijacked three billboards in Hollywood to attack the entertainment industry for allegedly shielding pedophiles.
Reminiscent of the signage in the Martin McDonagh film, which is up for seven Oscars including best picture, with black text on a field of red, three consecutive billboards in Hollywood sprang up Wednesday, each calling out the industry.

“And the Oscar for biggest pedophile goes to…” reads one sign.
Another says, “We all knew and still no arrests.”
A third billboard reads: “Name names on stage or shut the hell up!”
Until the artist, who goes by the name Sabo, took over the signage early Wednesday, the billboards were legitimate advertisements. Sabo manufactured fake overlays measuring as large as 48 feet across by 14 feet high and hired a crew of six men to help with installation, he told The Hollywood Reporter.
The first of the three massive signs appeared near the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and La Brea Avenue in Hollywood and another was a few hundred yards north. Still another appeared a few hundred yards from that one, mimicking the arrangement in the film, where three signs appeared in a row alongside a highway.
Sabo has posted faux ads attacking Hollywood on other occasions, but he said he considers the hijacking of three giant billboards on a single day his largest mission yet. The last time he took over a billboard was in November when he altered a sign for The Greatest Showman to make it appear like Sen. Al Franken was grabbing at Zendaya, who starred as a trapeze artist in the movie.
Franken has since resigned from the senate under allegations that he sexually harassed women, and nearly 100 other men in the entertainment industry also have been publicly accused of sexual misconduct since claims were made against Harvey Weinstein nearly five months ago.
Sabo says his signage is meant to criticize those who allegedly enabled sexual harassment with their silence, and to tell celebrities they should refrain from preaching during their Oscar acceptance speeches — for this one year, at least.
Three Billboards, the movie, is considered a frontrunner for best picture at Sunday’s Oscars, which will be held at the Dolby Theatre a few miles from where Sabo took over the three signs Wednesday.
In the film, Frances McDormand plays the mom of a raped and murdered daughter who posts billboards with angry messages aimed at the cops in her small town because she thinks they have not done enough to pursue whoever assaulted and killed her daughter. “Still no arrests?” reads one of the billboards in the film — with black letters on a solid red background.
Have to be behind Sabo for his courageous efforts. Stick it to those Hollweird Pervs with their disgusting liberal mouths.
I’ll make sure to see the movie
The chickens have come home to roost. For years they came after the Catholic Church ( no excuses) with their holier than thou preaching and taunting, and now look. Wienstein was the biggest abortion supporter, LGBTQ, and other weirdo causes and a “firm” supporter of all things women rights. What a joke. They certainly got their comeuppance. These hollywood weirdos are in a league by themselves when they try to pontificate about climate change and morality. Out.
Yeah, I can’t wait for the follow-up to “Spotlight” set at the Director’s Guild. Should be boffo.
If I owned the company whose ads were covered up, I would demand that the billboard company LEAVE HIS WORK UP UNTIL THE OSCARS WERE OVER ON SUNDAY.
You are my hero. Time for Hollywood’s day of reconing.
He gets my support both morally and financially if he asks.
Why do most people pay so much enamored attention to the Oscar’s?
When I was a kid, girls called boy’s dicks “Oscar” like in Oscar’s Wieners (a brand of hotdogs). Funny that Jews called the Hollywood awards “Oscar Winners”.
I think you mean Oscar Mayer.
The (((name))) freaked me out at first, but I checked and he was German. *Whew*
Louis Burt Mayer, born Lazar Meir; July 12, 1884 – October 29, 1957; was a Russia-born American film producer and co-founder of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios (MGM) in 1924. The Jews always change their names to hide their true identities.
Yeah. Always. Stupid.
There was a time when morons concerned themselves with ‘what’s in a name.’ & not just jewish-sounding names, either.
Well, there’s nothing in a name. & if changing it to avoid getting crosswise the massed morons works, so be it.
Mr. liberty do indeed take liberties.
“Oscar for Biggest Pedophile….”
Like it wouldn’t be a several-thousand way tie in Pedowood.
