What a joke, the Golden Globes “time’s up” protest. Like it’s such a hardship to show up wearing black–nobody has to be too inconvenienced–and nobody’s dressed in a way to deter a sexual predator. Dresses are still plunging to there and slit up to here.
I can’t decide if they’re all idiots who never thought past the initial this-would-be-such-a-good-idea phone call to what such an event would really say, or if they’re maliciously trying to cover their tracks. Either way, they don’t seem to think that we see through their facade.
If they were seriously about protesting sexual assault in Hollywood, they would do something substantial (such as, perhaps, quit in protest or name names other than the disgraced Weinstein) instead of throwing one of their favorite yearly parties of mutual admiration and back-scratching with the a feeble warble of “we’re wearing black look at us we’re protesting.”
Meanwhile, people literally at the event–both attendees and award winners–are known or rumored sexual predators.
THR now interviewing Gary Oldman & kissing his ass. Yes, he won tonight and people applauded. Yes, the same Gary who beat his wife with a telephone in front of their children. The same Gary who cheated on many of his wives with hookers. Did THR ask him any of that? No.

And it’s not just the men that have problems.
I see on THR's live feed on Twitter, they are interviewing Elisabeth Moss. Heavens knows they don't want to offend a celebrity so won't ask her any questions about Scientology and their covering up for members accused of sexual assault. They also won't ask her why she worked

Elisabeth Moss can say one thing in a Golden Globes speech that is completely antithetical to how she lives her life or who she works with. No one in the media will call her out on it. She isn't alone in this, just using her as an example.

It’s one thing to look past differing political views to enjoy a work of fiction. I did that for years with scifi and fantasy entertainment.
It’s quite another to knowingly support an industry that does nothing to police its members, and fails to protect its innocents.
And it’s especially egregious when they put on a show like this pretending exactly the opposite.
“I can’t believe that big bad man leered at me. I mean, I know I’m hot but he just can’t do that!! I’ll wear an even shorter skirt tonight–that’ll sure show him.”
