Three cheers for Best Supporting Actress winner, Patricia Arquette, who devoted her Oscars acceptance speech to advancing women’s rights and wage equality. Not only is she a beautiful person, inside and out, she is very talented, as evidenced by her 12-year devotion to Boyhood.
Her words were rightfully met with wild applause by such big names as Meryl Streep and Jennifer Lopez.
It is so impressive when a public figure uses their platform for the common good. I’d love to see more speeches like this in the future. Hollywood gets a bad reputation for being all fluff, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
She’s cool but that dress is ridiculous. Fire the stylist!
Ok, I wasn’t crazy about that dress either.
If you are going to endorse this socialist crap, I am unsubscribing. Women already have equal rights in this country. That is why Congress enacted the equal rights amendment. These Hollywood types need to go back to school.
I don’t think supporting women’s rights is socialist. Most women don’t earn as much as men and bringing attention to that is important.
R U friggin kidding me? “Socialist crap” You need school, not Hollywood. Women do NOT have equal rights. Look at the justice system.
i always liked her. but she needs to scale it back
I liked her acceptance speech too. Her comments backstage — implying that the fights for LGBTQ rights and for black rights are over — I was less thrilled about. I’m sure it was just poor phrasing on her part, though, and her point that we all need to be fighting together is a good one.
