The evening began as many of Hollywood's A-listers walked the red carpet wearing all black.
Using #WhyWeWearBlack, a parade of the industry's most prominent female voices are reminding the public that the all-black red carpet is not a fashion statement — it's a statement of solidarity.

Judd is credited for being among the first group of women to speak publicly about alleged sexual misconduct she experienced at the hands of former movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, which kickstarted a nationwide discussion about sexual harassment against women.
In a video, Rosario Dawson used her #WhyWeWearBlack post to thank the people who have come forward with stories of sexual assault and harassment.
"It's time to celebrate each other — not just the nominees on our film and television screens but our storytellers who have bravely come forward and courageously shared their stories and liberated so many of us, too,"
she said.
The Globes honored actresses for their first three awards, and all three of the winners made it a point to talk about Hollywood's responsibility to tell stories about strong women. The Globes also repeated the Emmys in giving awards to Hulu's
The Handmaid's Tale
for best drama and Elisabeth Moss of that series as best actress.
