Time's Up

This year's Golden Globes was definitely one to remember. To start, every single person who attended the show wore black to show the unity of all female actresses in the businesses and support the brave victims who have spoken up about allegations of sexual assault. There were multiple times throughout where many spoke out about the movement, yet some statements made lots of people there very uncomfortable and were very straightforward. One example is when Natalie Portman was presenting the best director award and pointed out that all of the directors were all male (https://youtu.be/I7mwGW1N3aY). In Miss Representation, it talked about the filming industry and how there is hardly any female directors or female protagonists in movies. And even if there was a female protagonist, they are usually shown chasing after a man. All of these "sexist" aspects of the film industry were pointed out and made very obvious by many at the Golden Globes. I feel like it was very awkward for most because of how confrontational the whole thing was and how open everyone was about how they were feeling. In the Rolling Stones article listed above, it explains lots of things that went down that day, and is a good read. This movement helped showcase these actresses who are taking a stand for their place in the industry, and relates to the lack of female leadership in the film industry.
