This year, color was absent from the Golden Globes red carpet as the majority of the stars in attendance wore black clothing. More specifically, more than 300 entertainment figures wore black to the Golden Globes to promote the “Time’s Up” campaign.

The “Time’s Up” campaign aims to fight sexual harassment, assault, and inequality for women in all kinds of workplaces. Although workplace harassment and inequality has always been an issue, it is being spotlighted this year due to the many sexual harassment allegations against powerful men in the entertainment industry, such as Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey.

Through their GoFundMe page, the “Time’s Up” campaign has already raised more than $15 million as a legal defense fund for people who have experienced workplace harassment.

In addition to their efforts, the “Time’s Up” campaign encouraged the attendees of the Golden Globes, and general supporters of the campaign, to wear black in solidarity with the victims, and to showcase unity and power. As said, the majority of celebrities in attendance showed their support at the awards show through wearing black, and also by wearing “Time’s Up” campaign pins that could be visible to those both in attendance and at home.

This campaign, and sexual harassment in general, were a main focus of the Golden Globes. Interviewers gave the stars a chance on the red carpet to use their time to bring awareness to the “Time’s Up” campaign, and explain why they were in support of the movement. With that being said, many celebrities were asked why they were wearing black rather than the cliche question of, “What are you wearing?” Many stars also incorporated the campaign, and the topic of sexual harassment, into their acceptance speeches to show their support for the victims, and their want for change.

Although the stars who participated meant well, some received backlash from people online. This is due to the fact that people felt as if wearing black is not enough, and that celebrities should be using their power in society to contribute more to the campaign.

Some celebrities also received backlash if they have known sexual harassment allegations against them, or have worked with directors who have sexual harassment allegations against them, but showed up to the Golden Globes wearing black. People felt as if it made those celebrities look like hypocrites, and rightfully so, as they are not practicing what they preach.

Despite the backlash, the “Time’s Up” campaign did a great job of bringing awareness to the harassment and inequality of women in the workplace, and hopefully this support of the movement by celebrities will continue even after the Golden Globes.
