Barbra Streisand calls out female directors being overlooked in powerful Time’s Up speech

TwitterFacebook

Barbra Streisand couldn’t quite believe her ears when she was informed backstage that she was the only woman to ever win the Best Director award at the Golden Globes. 

“Did I hear right?” she said, puzzled, on-stage when she recounted this anecdote prior to announcing the nominees for Best Motion Picture. 

“I was the only woman—did I hear right?— the only woman to get the Best Director award,” Streisand said. “And, you know, that was 1984. That was 34 years ago.”

“Folks, time’s up!” Streisand bellowed.  Read more…

‘She would absolutely do it’: Stedman Graham fuels hopes for Oprah’s unlikely presidential run

TwitterFacebook

Could Oprah Winfrey have just made the first speech of her political career? Not at all, but we can dream.

That’s what many people have decided on Twitter anyway, and Winfrey’s longtime partner Stedman Graham played along with their hopes.

This has all stemmed from Winfrey’s extremely moving speech upon accepting the Cecil B. DeMille award at this year’s Golden Globes. And while she didn’t explicitly say that she would run for president in 2020, many people are still pretty keen for her to do so. Read more…

Oprah’s Golden Globes speech has us all begging her to run for president

TwitterFacebook

We knew Sunday’s Golden Globes would be an emotional affair, but we didn’t expect it to kick off Oprah’s political career.

Now, to be fair, when Oprah Winfrey gave her extremely moving speech upon accepting the Cecil B.  DeMille award, she didn’t explicitly say that she would run for president in 2020. But as she imparted hope, wisdom, and the promise of a brighter future, that didn’t stop many people from wishing she would. 

Actually, scratch that. Many people just decided to believe that she’s running and leaving it at that. 

And who can blame them.

Yes, Golden Globes host Seth Meyers will take on Hollywood’s sexual harassment problem

TwitterFacebook

If this year’s Golden Globes represent a unique challenge (how does a glitzy awards show deal with a horrifying sexual harassment crisis?), it also offers a rare opportunity. 

At least, that’s how this year’s host, Seth Meyers, sees it – as a chance to “be able to say some things that you wouldn’t be able to say in previous years.”

Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Meyers discussed his preparation for Sunday’s show. As part of his homework, he’s done what victims have been begging would-be allies to do since the very beginning: he listened to women, including his Late Night colleagues and his wife, attorney Alexi Ashe.

Rose McGowan thinks black-clad Golden Globes protesters should find better ways to speak out

TwitterFacebook

Rose McGowan is not interested in your symbolic protests, Hollywood.

On Saturday, McGowan turned her attention to Meryl Streep and others who reportedly support a rising push for female actors to attend the upcoming Golden Globes awards show clad in all black. The gesture is intended as a protest of the sexual misconduct that’s run rampant through Hollywood for decades.

An incensed McGowan lashed out on Twitter at “actresses, like Meryl Streep,” for planning a silent protest. 

“YOUR SILENCE is THE problem,” McGowan wrote. “You’ll accept a fake award breathlessly & affect no real change. I despise your hypocrisy.”  Read more…
