Golden Globes 2018: Celebrities Support #TimesUp On The Red Carpet

“We’re here because of Tarana [Burke}. You might think that we’re here because I was nominated for something but that’s really not the case. We’re here because Tarana started a movement. She planted this seed years ago and it’s grown and caught fire. She started the #metoo movement…I thought I would have to raise my daughter to learn how to protect herself in a dangerous world and I think because of the work that Tarana has done, and the work that I’m learning how to do, we have the opportunity to hand our children a different world. I am moved beyond measure to be sitting beside this woman. I have tears in my eyes and a smile on my face.”

Michelle Williams with Tarana Burke, founder of the #MeToo movement.

“I am wearing black to thank and honour all of the brave whistleblowers who came forward to share their stories of harassment and assault and discrimination. I am wearing black to stand in solidarity with my sisters all over the globe.”

Margot Robbie in Gucci

“I think that people are aware now of power imbalance and it’s something that leads to abuse. It’s led to abuse in our own industry. It’s led to abuse across the domestic workers field of work. It’s in the military. It’s in congress. It’s everywhere and we want to fix that and we feel sort of emboldened in this particular moment to stand together in a thick black line.”

Meryl Streep with Ai-Jen Poo, director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance.

“It’s important to me to stand with all these women who have come forward with their stories of sexual harassment and abuse. I am so in awe of their bravery… It’s important for me to stand up for those who don’t have a voice. I love how this is not about talking about an issue.. It’s about taking action about an issue… People talk about how black can be a sombre colour, but the feeling here tonight is so celebratory; it’s so empowering.”

Alison Brie in Vassilis Zoulias.

Claire Foy in Stella McCartney.

“We’re here to stand up for all women and men who have been silenced by abuse and harassment and abuse within their industry; not just Hollywood. All industries.”

Reese Witherspoon in Zac Posen.

Alexis Bledel in Ocar de la Renta

“Something about women in Hollywood speaking out; there is a wall of silence around violence against women and girls….Somebody speaks out and it puts a crack in that wall. So we don’t want to create hierarchies. We are not saying women in Hollywood are more important than other women. We are saying they have an opportunity to amplify the issues and shine a light on things. It’s not the beginning of the struggle or the end of the struggle; It’s a critical moment.” – Marai Larasi

“We’re here to wear black to say Time’s Up on this imbalance of power. We’re also here to honour the women who came out originally and who really kicked the door open for this conversation. Asia Argento, Rosanna Arquette, Ashley Judd and Salma Hayak.
These women were so brave; we’re just building on their message and their work.”

Eva Longoria in Genny.

Millie Bobby Brown in Calvin Klein by Appointment.

“It’s an enormous show of support tonight. I think it speaks to the appetite; to the climate that exists. This is a conversation that as complicated as it is, it’s seems to be welcomed by everybody…There have been conversations that have been challenging for all of us, but I think it’s incredibly timely. It’s exciting. Parity, equality and safe work environments, this shouldn’t be controversial. I’m thrilled to be here to talk about this for Time’s Up…It’s an exciting and daunting job and we are all dying to dive into the work ahead of us.”

Sarah Jessica Parker in Dolce & Gabbana.

“We wanted to send a message to women in the (film) industry, and all people who experience sexual violence in the workplace that they are not alone, that we stand with them and lend them our power and our strength as we go through this difficult time. Part of our work as an organization is to fight for gender equality across all lines; so we fight for every person’s voice.” – Monica Ramirez, co-founder of Alianza Nacional de Campesinas, dedicated to ending violence against women, particularly farmworkers.

“We need the powers that be in all industries to help us close that gap.” Laura Dern

“This character that I play represents something that is the centre of what we are talking about right now. I do believe and hope we can elicit change through the stories we tell.”

Nicole Kidman in Givenchy.

“I think we’ve realized the scope of what we’ve lost. The contributions that have been pushed out of our industry and the pain that they’ve been through. It has to change. Time’s up.” Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman and America Ferrera

“Margaret Atwood this is for you, and all of the women who came before and after you who were brave enough to speak out against intolerance and injustice and fight for equality and freedom in this world. We no longer live in the bleak white spaces at the edge of print. We no longer live in the gaps between the stories. We are the story in print and we are writing the stories ourselves. Thank you.”

“I want all the girls watching here now to know that a new day is on the horizon and when that new day finally dawns it will be because of a lot of magnificent women, many of who are right in this room tonight, and some pretty phenomenal men fighting hard to make sure that they become leaders who take us to the time when nobody ever has to say me too again.”
