Oscars 2019: The aftermath of Time’s Up and #MeToo at the 91st Academy Awards

Hindustan Times  

It was Time’s Up when women in Hollywood came out to tell their stories, some horrific enough to give you sleepless nights and cause acid reflux because of the unfathomable truth behind all that transpired over the years. The most notable name the world heard was filmmaker and producer Harvey Weinstein, credited with making many careers and probably also marooning the ones who didn’t quite ‘fit’ into his process of choosing the cast and crew on a film. She has also gone through the experience herself, and as a young survivor of sexual violence, she realized there weren’t enough resources to start the long path to heal.” Women came out in support in large numbers and also wore black with a badge that read “Time’s Up” at the Golden Globes last year and there was an expectation of some colour coordination at the Academy Awards in March 2018 too. The conversations, however, continued and have since gone onto Cannes 2018, before a spreading its roots in the Indian workspace dynamics which has hardly spared anyone holding important positions at work. Inclusivity was the theme for Oscars 2018 and has since reflected in the work we’ve been seeing all through last year before the big awards night of this year - the 91st Academy Awards.
