On this year’s red carpet, the questions may finally change, according to a new column in The Atlantic. When the stars descend upon the Golden Globes red carpet Sunday, many women will be wearing black in solidarity with the #MeToo movement and the Time’s Up campaign. The goal is to redirect questions from the press away from the typical “who are you wearing” fodder toward discussion of Hollywood’s systemic sexism and rampant sexual harassment. This decision follows the multi-year #AskHerMore campaign, which fought the hyper-focus on women’s red carpet looks rather than their work. The Globes will be a test: it is the first major awards show since the revelation of Harvey Weinstein’s abuse and all that followed. The red carpet will be an early barometer of whether the Hollywood press and establishment will confront change or ignore it.
