Last yearâs Golden Globes âblackoutâ â when nearly every attendee was draped in black â was an undeniable act of solidarity with the #MeToo and Timeâs Up movements.
Close had been the best actress favorite for much of awards season, but it was Olivia Colman, of âThe Favourite,â who clinched the win at Sunday nightâs ceremony.
In the surprise appearance, which doubled as a moment of female solidarity the Grammys needed, Obama spoke to the crowd as it erupted in applause and cheers.
At the Globes, celebrities, including hosts Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg, donned black-and-white bracelets and ribbons that read #TimesUpx2 that were designed by Arianne Phillips, who created last yearâs Timeâs Up pins.
