"Over the past year, many brave women have stepped forward to tell stories of pervasive sexual harassment and worse in the film industry, forcing the nation to realize how little power women have had in Hollywood and sparking new demands for change," said Julie Burton, president of the Women’s Media Center.

“The absence of women in critical behind-the-scenes roles — and the fact that men represent 77 percent of all nominees – means that women in the industry are missing opportunities for recognition and power,” Burton said. “The larger society is deprived of women’s voices, perspectives, and creativity,” she continued. “At a time when women are demanding more power and visibility, these low numbers should be a wake-up call for Hollywood executives. The message is ‘Time’s up for inequality.’”

“We are also proud of the efforts of all women who continue to break barriers in the film industry, despite systemic cultural and institutional bias,” said WMC President Julie Burton.

A March 2017 report by the Women's Media Center, a non-profit group started by Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan and Gloria Steinem, found that male journalists got more bylines and reported on-air more often than female counterparts.

On this week's #SeeHER spotlight we take you to the Women's Media Center awards who's honoree's included Jane Fonda, Ashley Judd, and #SeeHER co-founder Gail Tifford.

Fonda appeared alongside fellow feminist icon Gloria Steinem, who, together with Fonda and Robin Morgan, founded the Women's Media Center. While Fonda acknowledged that the women speaking out against Weinstein made a “big difference,” she also made sure to emphasize that “this has been going on for a long time to black women and other women of color, and it doesn’t get out quite the same.”

"I can prosecute and forgive at the same time."

Ashley Judd says the Harvey Weinstein scandal can effect real change for women. The actress said the continuing flurry of allegations against Weinstein means society is at a "tipping point" on sexual harassment. But she added that "this will be the end of it if we decide that's what we want."

The actress spoke about about the impact of the public accusations Thursday at the Women's Media Center Awards in New York, where she was being honored.

"I was very forthcoming about my experiences all these years," she said. "And it was just the moment when I could be heard—when The New York Times was willing to throw their venerable and considerable resources behind the investigative reporting that Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohy —who's here tonight—did so well that everyone could hear the story."

Hillary Clinton celebrated her 70th birthday by being honored by the Women’s Media Center with its Wonder Woman Award.

"I’m gonna keep on questioning, I’m gonna keep on asking about issues pertaining to communities they don’t want to talk about, because as women, as minorities, we have the highest numbers of negatives in almost every category. And if I won’t, who will?”

Jane Fonda as seen the future, and for the Harvey Weinsteins of the world, it’s not looking very bright. On Thursday’s red carpet for the annual Women’s Media Awards, she took on the growing sexual assault allegations against the disgraced film-industry mogul, who has denied all allegations of non-consensual sex. “I think it’s going to be harder for men in the future,” she said.

"It feels different. It feels like something has shifted."
