#MeToo grabs attention at 90th Academy Awards
- 6 years ago
The 90th Academy Awards ceremony is being held as we speak,... but attention this year is not just centered on the films and their glamorous stars.
The #MeToo movement is also grabbing the spotlight.
Among the night's presenters are actresses who publicized sexual assault allegations against disgraced movie producer, Harvey Weinstein-- who was expelled from the academy.
Actress Ashley Judd,... one of the first victims to speak up about her experience of being victimized by Weinstein, is also presenting an award.
And although there were expectations of an all-black dresscode, actresses showed up in a spectrum of different dress colors,... and instead wore #MeToo and #TimesUp badges to show their support for the victims of sexual harrassment.
