If you avoided Sunday’s Golden Globes telecast — and who could blame you for making a wise decision — you missed out on an unending phalanx of self-congratulatory backslapping by an industry that was complicit in its own scandal. The theme of the entire night was how “brave†all the actresses and actors were for wearing black outfits to protest sexual attacks. Yet notably absent from their red carpet catharsis were the very women who brought this story to national attention . . . . . . While actresses were aglow with self-determination their shallow claims were easily exposed. The buzzword of the night was “Braveryâ€. Yet no one dared to utter the name Weinstein, nor anyone else chased away by scandal. When host Seth Meyers cracked that “Harvey Weinstein will be the first person to be booed during the Oscars ‘In Memorium’ segmentâ€, the audience loudly murmured with uncomfortable resistance. Because they are so brave and resilient, understand. There also was no gratitude for Ronan Farrow (a Hollywood scion, ironically) whose reporting helped expose the Weinstein abuse . . .. . . Rose McGowan, who essentially helped open the floodgates of the accusations, wrote on Twitter: “Not one of those fancy people wearing black to honor our rapes would have lifted a finger had it not been so. I have no time for Hollywood fakery" . . .. . . Another of Weinstein’s famous targets was Rosanna Arquette. She too confirmed that she, and other named victims, were not asked to be included in the Globes’ celebratory circle-jerk ceremony. “No we weren’t invited. Annabella [Sciorra], Daryl [Hannah], Mira [Sorvino] … none of us were" . . .
