Everything from pandas to the ACLU were championed at the Oscars

Actors and actresses came to the 89th Academy Awards to collect gold statuettes, but also took the opportunity to represent organizations and causes dear to them.

The stars walked the red carpet with everything from ribbons to stuffed animals in tow.

Jackie Chan showed up on the red carpet with two stuffed panda animals, or what he called his "two baby boys."

"I am the ambassador of pandas," he explained to Ryan Seacrest. "After earthquakes, they get hurt and I raise them."

Moonlight screenwriter Tarell Alvin McCraney wore a red ribbon, historically meant to represent the fight against AIDS, similar to Elizabeth Taylor's symbolic ribbon 25 years ago. In fact, McCraney's ribbon below is one of Taylor's own.
