Never before has a coveted awards gala been celebrated for its lacklustre as much as the 75th Golden Globe Award, where celebrities turned up in black to protest against the spate of sexual harassment scandals that have rocked Hollywood. First time Golden Globes host Seth Meyers took no time addressing "the elephant not in the room" -- the disgraced mogul Harvey Weinstein -- asserting that he'd be booed at the In Memoriam section 20 years later. Greeting the "ladies and remaining gentlemen," Meyers said, "It's 2018, marijuana is finally allowed and sexual harassment finally isn't... It's been years since a white man was this nervous in Hollywood." Meyers also went on to take a dig at Kevin Spacey and Woody Allen.
