Saoirse Ronan has confirmed that she will be wearing black at the Golden Globes this weekend.
Some of Hollywood’s leading film stars, including Jessica Chastain, Meryl Streep and Emma Stone, have pledged to wear all black to the awards ceremony, as part of a silent protest against sexual harassment in the entertainment industry.
In an interview with Extra at the 2018 Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards, where she received the Best Actress Award, Saoirse said, “We’ll all be wearing black.”
“It is the most important thing, and I’ve never felt so encouraged and inspired and supported to use whatever voice I have and for all of these people, men and women, to be able come together and use their influence and to open up the conversation and raise awareness and support anyone who’s gone through, or anyone that has questioned their safety or their stance when they’re on set.
“I think it’s invaluable and paramount that this happens now,” she continued.
Speaking about her success at such a young age, Saoirse cited her genuine love for acting.
“I love this, I really do. I love work and I love working on films and with crews and being around that environment. It’s home to me more than anything else.”
