The filmmakers behind The Hunting Ground, a documentary about the epidemic of sexual assault on college campuses, will tackle the same issue in Hollywood following the Harvey Weinstein scandal.
Co-directors Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering announced plans for their new documentary Monday, with the film set to examine how the entertainment industry covered up or ignored sexual assaults in the cases of powerful people like Weinstein, the Hollywood Reporter writes.

The mood got decidedly funnier and edgier in this year’s Emmy race for Original Music and Lyrics. It was a badly needed tonic for the country. Most notably, Tina Fey joined the musical fray for the first time, looking for her 10th Emmy with the hilarious “Hell No,” a tribute to Beyonce’s “Lemonade” (featuring an enraged Tituss Burgess) from “Unbreakable Kimmie Schmidt.”
But, given the current zeitgeist, it’s not surprising that Chance the Rapper was nominated for his Run-d.M.C.–inspired rap tribute to Obama, “Last Christmas,” from “Saturday Night Live,” or that Rachel Bloom was back again with the raunchy “We Tapped That Ass” from “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.” There was even room for the excruciatingly uncomfortable “The Ballad of Claus Jorstad (Devil Stool)” from “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” and and the animated burlesque of “Jing-a-Ling-a-Ling” from “Duck the Halls: A Mickey Mouse Christmas Special.”

Larson, 27, presented Affleck with the Oscar for Best Actor at the ceremony for his performance in Manchester By the Sea. But when he took the stage to accept the award, the actress refrained from clapping while the rest of the audience gave Affleck a standing ovation.

Not restricted to films with explicit queer themes, the films nominated for film of the year are “Jackie,” “Manchester by the Sea,” “La La Land, “20th Century Women,” and “Moonlight.” The nominees for Lgbtq Film of the Year are “Being 17,” “Closet Monster,” “Moonlight,” “Other People,” and “The Handmaiden.”
Judging by its very strong Oscar chances, the enthusiasm for “Moonlight” has overshadowed all other worthy queer films. “The Handmaiden” was notably absent from the Oscar short list for Best Foreign Language Film, and the other three Dorian nominees are not in contention at all.

While 2016 was marked by outspoken activists and powerful moments of protest and progress in a wide array of arenas, many women used their passion, talent and determination to make their voice heard above the din. Here's a look at 16 women who stirred inspiration and changed the tone of public discourse (in no particular order).
1. Selena Gomez
In an era when stars do everything they can to keep their personal struggles hidden, the "Hands to Myself" singer decided to be open about her anxiety and depression stemming from her battle with lupus, and even took time off from her career to focus on her mental health. Her deeply emotional and impressively honest speech as the American Music Awards in November was the pinnacle of her candidness.

Kesha has been though a lot these past few years, but one thing she will always be is a fighter. After her heartbreaking legal drama with Dr. Luke, the music producer she claims emotionally and sexually abused her and manipulated her career, in 2015, she faced a whole new battle in 2016 when she tried to get released from her recording contract with Sony. Her injunction ended up being denied by a judge, who said she was being "unreasonable." But despite the devastating setbacks, many celebrities rallied around Kesha to offer their support. One of those stars was Adele, who gave the singer a touching shout-out during her acceptance speech at the Brit Awards in February. Now Kesha, who ended up dropping her lawsuit against Dr. Luke in order to focus on new music, is speaking out about Adele's sweet gesture.

Music is an integral part of filmmaking, moving the story and touching the audience. Where would iconic movies such as Star Wars, Avatar, The Godfather, or Gone with the Wind be without its music? Would Downton Abbey, Dexter, or House of Cards be the same and have audiences glued to their TVs without music? Would gamers immerse into Final Fantasy or Legend of Zelda if they were silent? Movie music has moved us all to cheer, cry, and fall in love for more than 100 years. Yet the vast majority of composers hired to create this vital part of Hollywood’s cultural landscape have been men. Well, that musical glass ceiling is about to crack!
