On the first Sunday of 2018, families gathered around their televisions to watch the star-studded 75th annual Golden Globe Awards. But this year on the red carpet was a little less superficial. Instead of asking stars the usual “who are you wearing” question, reporters asked, “why are you wearing black?”

There was speculation that the guests at the Golden Globes would address the recent sexual harassment allegations that plague Hollywood. On January 2nd, the New York Times revealed that there would be a coordinated wardrobe effort in which most of the attending celebrities would be wearing black. This was part of a campaign called Time’s Up, a movement organized by numerous actresses and female Hollywood writers, directors, and entertainment executives that seeks to end the “systemic sexual assault, injustice, and inequality in the workplace.”

Wearing black to the Golden Globes was a united effort by men and women to stand in solidarity with victims of sexual harassment. Time’s Up supporters span the length of Hollywood, from Mark Wahlberg to Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, and America Ferrera.

But some celebrities’ support seemed to be disingenuous. James Franco, who attended the Golden Globes wearing a black suit and a Time’s Up pin, was accused of inappropriate and sexually exploitative behavior by five women shortly after the Golden Globes. One of the women who came forward stated that seeing him wearing the pin was “like a slap in the face.” Celebrities indirectly took action, saying they want their pin back.

Although there has been mass support for the Time’s Up movement, some have come to question it, saying that the money donated by celebrities will overshadow the voices of more vulnerable women in the campaign. Others have criticised the letter published in the New York Times, saying the opening (“Dear Sisters,”) sounded more like a sorority pledge rather than something that was supposed to address inequality in workplaces.

Although the Time’s Up movement has been at times controversial, it has brought to light issues not only within Hollywood but also in other fields of work in which women are not treated equally.
