Photo by: Lloyd Bishop/NBC(LOS ANGELES) — The first major awards show to be held since Hollywood was rocked by multiple sexual harassment scandals is taking place Sunday night, and the issue will no doubt be front and center during the evening.
NBC’s presentation of the 75th Golden Globes will be hosted by Seth Meyers, who almost certainly will address the scandals in his opening monologue. In addition, many of the stars who are attending have pledged to wear black in solidarity with the victims of sexual harassment and misconduct.
The pledge is just one part of the Time’s Up initiative, launched by some of entertainment’s most powerful women. The initiative also includes a call for gender equality at movie studios and talent agencies, and a $14 million legal fund to help victims of harassment nationwide, as well as legislation to punish companies that tolerate it.
Eva Longoria told The New York Times, “There’s a misconception that this is a silent protest. Instead of [reporters] asking us who we’re wearing, they’ll ask us why we’re wearing black. We’re using that platform and using our voices to say we can change this ideology, and shatter the sexism that teaches men that women are less.”
Host Seth Meyers tells The Hollywood Reporter that even though he often takes on the Trump administration on his NBC late-night show, he thinks it’s “far more important” to focus on “everything that’s happened in Hollywood…as opposed to anything that’s happening in Washington.”
As for the awards themselves, the film The Shape of Water and HBO’s Big Little Lies lead the nominees. The Shape of Water earned a leading seven nominations, including Best Motion Picture — Drama, Best Director for Guillermo del Toro, and Best Screenplay. Close behind are The Post and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, tied with six nods.
For television, HBO’s Big Little Lies earned the most nominations, with six, followed by Feud: Bette and Joan with four, and Fargo, This Is Us and The Handmaid’s Tale tied with three. HBO also earned the most nominations of any television outlet, with 12, followed by Netflix with nine and FX with eight.
Of note, actor Christopher Plummer is a nominee for the movie All the Money in the World. After the movie’s original star, Kevin Spacey, was accused by multiple people of sexual misconduct, directorRidley Scott quickly re-shot all of Spacey’s scenes with Plummer.
Despite the shadow ostensibly cast on the proceedings, the Golden Globes will still be star-studded. Presenters include Halle Berry, Kelly Clarkson, Gal Gadot, Ricky Martin, Emma Watson, Chris Hemsworth, Penelope Cruz, Carol Burnett, Sarah Jessica Parker, Seth Rogen, Amy Poehler,Sharon Stone, Kerry Washington and Neil Patrick Harris, among others.
