Golden Globes Blackout: A Too-Little, Too-Late Show
The Post’s front-page headline “Black Gold” should have been “Fools’ Gold” (Jan. 8).
Hollywood hypocrites’ black-clothes fashion statement was a cop-out. If “me, too” and “time’s up” advocates are sincere, why don’t they boy
cott the Golden Globes and the Oscars?
That’s a more meaningful protest than donning fancy clothes and drinking while sharing praise. Richard Reif Kew Gardens Hills
Many actresses at the Golden Globes wore black on the red carpet.
Some of them should have worn sackcloth and ashes as penance for remaining silent while all of the abuse and harassment was going on. Jackie Biaggi The Bronx
Dear Hollywood: Put your money where your mouth is.
Send some of the money you spend on those statement dresses to organizations that provide support and safety to victims of sexual harassment and abuse. M. Morley Long Island
With everyone wearing black, the Golden Globes had a funereal feel to it.
Instead of the Golden Globes, it should’ve been called the Doomsday for Liberals Awards. Joe Mercer Memphis, Tenn.
I could only laugh at the many elites wearing black at the Golden Globes. It was just an attempt to seem like they were doing something in the eyes of their adoring public.
The fact that they were quiet for so long reminds me of the citizens of Germany when the camps were opened who said, “We didn’t know, or we would have said something.”
All the women speaking out have already “made it.” Yet on their climb up to the top they said nothing. Dennis Farrell Westwood, NJ
When does the curtain come down? When do the actors stop acting? The answer is never.
Hollywood showed that at the Golden Globes.
They were supposed to be sending the message that abuse of women in Hollywood has to stop. The truth is it should have never started. It’s in Hollywood, it’s in the workplace and it’s been like that forever.

At the recent Golden Globes, actresses showed their solidarity, dressed in black and wore a pin to address their concerns over gender equality.
They should have dressed down — perhaps in old sweatpants, an oversized sweater and comfy sneakers, foregoing jewelry of any sort and wearing minimal makeup.

The showing at the Golden Globes was the height of hypocrisy.
Hollywood has kept quiet about the casting couch for decades. The industry made movies with Harvey Weinstein and ignored him taking advantage of young actresses who were looking for their big breaks.
It honored Kirk Douglas who is rumored to have violently assaulted actress Natalie Wood.
Hollywood needs to get its act together and stamp out all sexual abuse once and for all. Jim Riches Brooklyn
What phonies and hypocrites. They’re all disgusting. They knew about the sexual misconduct and tolerated it. They even joked about it at previous award shows.
Hollywood elites revered and awarded the likes of Roman Polanski and Harvey Weinstein when it benefited them, but now they desperately try to claim the moral high ground. D.M. Diana Greeley, Pa.
I was so looking forward to watching the Golden Globes Awards, especially since Seth Meyers was hosting.
It’s pretty sad that these award shows have become places for political statements and are no longer about acting or the glamour of Hollywood.
I’m not looking forward to the Oscars this year. J. Loconsolo-Gates Woodland Park, NJ.
