Over the last decade, Ashley Judd has become as known for her activism as she has her acting. Judd was one of the first women to accuse Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault, and she has been a vocal advocate for the #MeToo movement; she has also come out strong as an anti-prostitution advocate. In an Instagram post last month, Judd conflated the two issues by asserting that “survivors” of prostitution — or “paid rape,” as she called it — “are saying #MeToo.”

So the women of Hollywood came out at the Golden Globes on Sunday night and used their soapboxes to say powerful things about how sexual harassment and unequal pay would no longer be tolerated, nor would the sidelining of women’s stories and women creators, and just generally sounded off about the lousy positions of girls and women not only in their industry but everywhere. And they vowed to work for change and betterment for everyone.
And the men? As Sophie Gilbert at The Atlantic tells it:

The drama between Louis C.K. and Tig Notaro continues to intensify, as both comedians make the media rounds to promote separate projects. The inevitable consequence: A back-and-forth between the former colleagues is now playing out in the press.
While promoting the Tiff premiere of his new film “I Love You Daddy,” C.K. told the New York Times writer Cara Buckley that he wouldn’t respond to Notaro’s comments that he should “handle” allegations of sexual misconduct.
“I’m not going to answer to that stuff, because they’re rumors,” C.K. said to the Times. “I don’t know why she said the things she’s said, I really don’t… I don’t think talking about that stuff in the press and having conversations over press lanes is a good idea.”

Now, after picking up a Golden Globe and a SAG Award, among other prizes, she’s a front-runner for the Oscar for best actress. 'Sill Alice' tells the story from Alice’s point of view. 'This is very unusual,' Ms. Moore told the Bagger earlier this season in a phone interview, 'because it’s from the inside out.'

For all the months of campaigning surrounding Oscars season, this week is the one week that actually counts. Ballots for the final vote went out to Academy members on Friday, February 6, and must be submitted by next Tuesday, February 17. So whatever happened before, it's what's on voters' minds this week that matters.
The two big questions this week are: 1.) Does "Boyhood" or "Birdman" have the edge? and 2.) Which individuals would voters like to see up on the podium thanking their agents, spouses, and higher powers (God, Harvey Weinstein, et al)?
"Boyhood" and "Birdman" have been locked in a tight race for Best Picture for nearly three months. For most of that time, "Boyhood" seemed to have the edge, but its early momentum is now nearly spent. "Birdman" has won the trifecta of the major guild prizes.

He had fun figuring out blogging, red carpet videos and making valuable Hollywood connections, but after a few years of seasonal awards coverage he returned to his esteemed weekly Media Equation column and passed the Carpetbagger baton to Melena Ryzik. She in turn has finally burned out on the gig and will stick with general news and features. Now the award season blog goes to metro desk veteran-turned-culture reporter Cara Buckley. “As a new addition to the department, Cara has already made many of her inimitable talents known, expertly interviewing several of this year’s nominees while doggedly covering the scuttlebutt of the 2014 race,” Nyt culture editor Danielle Mattoon wrote in a memo.
