Michelle Williams discusses the importance of a woman's right to choose in Golden Globes speech
When Michelle Williams took the stage at the Golden Globes to accept her Best Actress In A Limited Series award for Fosse/Verdon, it was immediately clear that she had something to say. Host Ricky Gervais said at the top of the show that any celebrity who makes a political statement in their speech is a hypocrite, but that was a dumb comment and Williams showed why with her brief speech time (as she has done before). After thanking the Hollywood Foreign Press and the rest of the Fosse/Verdon cast and crew, she explained that giving someone an award like that is an acknowledgement of both their work and who they are as a person, and so she said that who she is as a person would be impossible without a woman’s right to choose when and how and if they want to have children.
