Natalie Portman’s Golden Globes speech was very candid about an uncomfortable truth

People are split.

Aside from Tommy Wiseau's lovable madness and Gary Oldman's unquestionable brilliance, the Golden Globes provided its usual mix of jokes, moments and political rallying. In the aftermath of the Harvey Weinstein revelations, the film industry has been far more upfront about reporting the various instances of sexual assault, harassment, and abuse that have occurred within the industry. The Golden Globes award ceremony reflected that as seen by the speeches and the attire that many of the performers chose to wear on the red carpet. Various people decided to wear black in solidarity with the victims who've come forth with allegations of sexual misconduct. This initiative was connected to Time's Up, a movement that's supported by hundreds of members of the industry. With regards to the acceptance speeches, Laura Dern, Elisabeth Moss, Frances McDormand and Nicole Kidman were just some of the actresses that spoke out and showed solidarity with that particular cause, but it's arguable that Natalie Portman's speech upstaged them all. The Oscar-winning actress graced the 75th Annual Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night to announce the winner for the Best Director category, which was only comprised of male directors - Guillermo Del Toro (The Shape of Water), Martin McDonagh (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), Christopher Nolan (Dunkirk), Ridley Scott (All the Money in the World) and Steven Spielberg (The Post)

After co-presenter Ron Howard announced the category, Portman made a point of saying, “And here are the all-male nominees.” https://twitter.com/PeteBlackburn/status/950206335970430976
