Time's Up Movement Made A Statement at the 2018 Golden Globes
Eonline.com: The Golden Globes are never not a party. But while jokes were told, champagne was sipped and movies, television and talent were indeed celebrated, tonight was about so much more.
Before a single shoe had touched the red carpet, the conversation had begun—and the goal of the stars in attendance was to make sure that the conversation wasn't confined to the red carpet, or to Hollywood. And, most importantly, that it continues past Sunday.
As intended, the 2018 Golden Globes served as a powerful platform for the Time's Up movement, formed just weeks ago and already endorsed by hundreds of the entertainment industry's biggest names in response to the overwhelming number of women and men from all walks of life who have come forward over the past few months to share their experiences about being sexually harassed, assaulted or otherwise mistreated.
An organic sequel to the Me Too movement started in 2010 by Tarana Burke and revived on social media in October by Alyssa Milanoafter Harvey Weinstein's decades of bad behavior caught up with him, Time's Up visually made its presence known tonight in the form of, as Meryl Streep put it, the "thick black line" composed of stars who chose to wear black as a show of solidarity—with each other, and with everyone who deserves to be treated with dignity and respect but have spent a shameful amount of time suffering in silence.
