Apparently those blue ribbons you’re seeing on some of the celebrities tonight are part of an ACLU campaign.
Clearly the accessory of the night will be the @ACLU ribbon, reminds me of the early days of AIDS AWARENESS & the red ribbon, #NeverForget

So far we’ve seen Lin Manuel Miranda (“Hamilton”) and Ruth Negga (“Loving”) with the light-blue fashion-political statements:

Thing is, this one actually is. The ACLU backed this, as did a host of mental health and disability groups.

The ribbons popped up Saturday night at the Spirit Awards, too:
