Women power dominates Globes ceremony
    2018-01-09  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

IT was the first major Hollywood awards ceremony since the film industry was hit by sexual harassment scandals, with stars wearing black to honor victims.

Oprah Winfrey summed up the mood, saying “a new day is on the horizon” as she collected an honorary award.

The big film winner of the night was “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” which took home four awards.

It won the best drama film award, with its star Frances McDormand also picking up a trophy for best actress.

The Oscar-winning actress stars as a grieving mother who challenges police over the fact her daughter’s killer has not been found.

“Big Little Lies” won the most awards in the TV categories, including honors for its stars Nicole Kidman, Laura Dern and Alexander Skarsgard. It was also named best limited TV series.

Kidman won the first award of the night for her role as a victim of domestic violence.

She dedicated her win to her castmates, daughters and mother, saying: “Wow, the power of women.”

The Golden Globes are organized by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and are seen as an indicator of which films are likely to do well at the Oscars, which take place March 4.

The main focus on the night was on the current atmosphere in Hollywood and campaigns like “Me Too” and “Time’s Up,” which are focused on bringing about change for women not only in the entertainment industry but also around the world.

Many winners and presenters at the Beverly Hills ceremony addressed the ongoing scandal — with host Seth Meyers setting the tone with his opening monologue.

“Welcome ladies and remaining gentlemen,” he told the gathered stars of film and TV, before saying: “It’s 2018 and marijuana is finally allowed and sexual harassment finally isn’t.

“For the male nominees in the room tonight, this is the first time in three months it won’t be terrifying to hear your name read out loud.”

It was Oprah whose speech had the biggest reaction, with stars applauding and rising to their feet.

Speaking as she was awarded the honorary Cecil B. DeMille trophy — the first black woman to get the honor — she said, “Speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have.

“For too long, women have not been heard or believed if they dare speak the truth to the power of those men. But their time is up. Their time is up!”

The theme was echoed by Laura Dern, winner of a best supporting actress for “Big Little Lies,” who said, “Many of us were taught not to tattle.

“It was a culture of silencing, and that was normalized. ... May we teach our children that speaking out without the fear of retribution is our culture’s new North Star.”

Barbra Streisand used her presenting slot to express outrage that she remains the only woman to win the best director award at the ceremony — and that was back in 1984.

“Folks, time’s up,” she said. “We need more women directors and more women to be nominated for best director.”

Greta Gerwig, whose directorial debut “Lady Bird” was named best musical or comedy film, was hugged by her film’s star, Saoirse Ronan, as Streisand made her comments.

Gerwig was not nominated in the directing category — an award won by Guillermo del Toro, director of “The Shape of Water.”

It was a fact that did not escape Natalie Portman’s notice as she presented the best director award, referring to the “all male nominees.”
