with the current climate in the profession, more women and some men coming out of the woodwork, does this mean that they are cleaning up their act, that the casting couch is a thing of the past.

[woofgang]

To quote Churchill......This is not the end.......

[yogi-bear]

Very possibly, emmie....it will be interesting to see what happens at the Oscars on the 4th March.

[emmie]

will dressing up in black be the new thing, i found that doing so at the Golden Globes a tad pointless. You can show your solidarity in all sorts of ways.

[webbo3]

They could have made a real stand and refused the awards as they were handed out, of auctioned the awards and gave the procedes to victims of abuse.

still I bet Oprah is still mates with Bill Cosby and loads of them are friends with Bill Clinton, google "the lolita express"

Dave.

[david small]

Of course they will.......show us your t###.

[Mamyalynne]

Maybe the start of a change, heck of a long way to go across the World yet.

[douglas9401]

I suppose in the end it will depend on how desperate newcomers are to become stahs dahling.

[youngmafbog]

No, they wont - Just how many prosecutions have we seen in the Courts?

As Douglass says, there will be plenty of girls who will see sleeping with the director(or whoever) as an easy way to big money.

[murraymints]

ever was thus... ever will be I fear...under the cosmetic PC veneer

[anotheoldgit]

They may have dressed in black but there was just about the same amount of flesh on display.

....Just look at me, I'm a sex symbol, don't I deserve an award?.....

[albaqwerty]

^^ and that was just the men

Dressing in black will not stop any of this nonsense.

[Mamyalynne]

Clothing is just the outward visual statement, the solidarity and belief is in hearts and minds.

Let's hope things start to change.

[emmie]

shame in this day and age you have to sleep with the boss to get any place, surely the likes of Meryl Streep and Ophrah Winfrey didn't have to contend with that?

[Mamyalynne]

Do you?

Really?

[albaqwerty]

'Let's hope things start to change.'

and not just in Hollywood Mamya, I liked some of the comments I saw ranging from the host 'Ladies and remaining gentlemen'
Also from William H Macy (whose comments I can't remember at the moment)

[Mamyalynne]

As I said last night 'across the World' - this isn't just about TinselTown.

mamy
no it isn't,
Bollywood has its fair share of sexist behaviour going on a piece i was reading the other day, i expect it goes on and will continue to go on no matter how women and some men protest, careers have fallen nonetheless,
not least Kevin Spacey, he seems to be out in the cold, at least for now.
