This year marks the 90th year of the Academy Awards, which means, for the past 90 years, the most glamorous of Hollywood’s stars have gathered together to walk across a very special carpet to celebrate their successes and inspire the dreams of viewers all around the world, some of whom would go on to follow in their footsteps.
The 2018 Oscars red carpet was no exception to the decades of glamour that came before. There were dazzling sparkles, electrifying colors and, more importantly, many celebs donned pins that simply stated, “Time’s up.”
Ashley Judd and Mira Sorvino walked the carpet arm in arm. The two women who spoke out with allegations of sexual abuse against Harvey Weinstein showed up together and spoke about how the “Me Too” movement is continuing to make progress and will not stop until changes are made.
