AskHerMore urges Oscars reporters to ask poignant, non-sexist questions
Kelly Cordingley
@kellycordingley
T the red carpet at the Oscars is always a flurry of tuxedos
for major awards and how important it is for women to be represented.
and evening gowns lined with reporters scrambling to interview the most famous stars. While the red carpet is a fine time to show off a gorgeous, expensive dress, it seems the dress has been the focal point of the interview rather than the careers and successes of the woman wearing the dress.
Those kinds of sexist questions are what The Representation Project's hashtag #AskHerMore aims to combat. According to its website, the hashtag is meant to send suggested questions to reporters and initiate deeper discussions rather than just whether an actress likes being blonde better than being a redhead.
This year, the tides are turning.
CNN's Michaela Pereira and Don Lemon, along with El Entertainment's Ryan Seacrest and various other news organizations were present on the red carpet. Pereira's guest, editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan magazine Joanna Coles, noted the lack of women up
Lemon spoke to actress Laura Dern from "Wild" who is up for Best Supporting Actress.
"The dress is great, but the work is more important," Lemon said.
Dern thanked him for asking the important questions, rather than just about who she was wearing
In stark contrast to Lemon's poignant question were El's Ryan Seacrest's questions of the night that have sparked outrage on Twitter. Seacrest asked "50 Shades of Grey" actress Dakota Johnson if she took home any props from the film. He also asked actress Lupita Nyong'o who she was wearing, but neglected to ask the two men before her that same question.
"This is a movement to say, 'We're more than just our dresses.' "
REESE WITHERSPOON
Actress
Reese Witherspoon and Amy Poehler have taken hold of this hashtag and publicized their support. Poehler's twitter handle, @smrtgrls, tweeted that it is time for the red carpet to become more interesting and that she was thrilled Witherspoon was on board to talk about and answer
tough questions.
Witherspoon was interviewed by ABC's Robin Roberts, who asked about the hashtag.
Stone was asked about dying her hair blonde for her role in "Spider-Man;" to which her off-screen boyfriend Andrew Garfield said he is never asked questions like that.
"This is a movement to say, 'We're more than just our dresses; " Witherspoon said.
Screenwriter, director and producer Shonda Rhimes, who created "Grey's Anatomy," "Scalandal" and "How to get Away with Murder," tweeted that women shouldn't be asked about what they're wearing because it takes away from focusing on their intelligence.
Mic.com was buzzing about the hashtag as well and featured tweets calling out E! Entertainment's Giuliana Rancic and Ryan Seacrest for their questions at awards shows that tended to refer to how a woman looks instead of what she has accomplished.
"You get asked interesting,
poignant questions because
you are a boy." Stone said.
Before the Oscars, Mic. com posted an article of memes of female celebrities responding to sexist comments. A few of the poignant quotes are from actresses Emma Stone, Laverne Cox and Jennifer Garner.
you are a boy, someone like Cox, who is a trans individual, had to explain
to talk-show host Wendy Williams why it is inappropriate to ask about her breasts. Garner, who is married to actor Ben Affleck, spoke about how she was asked numerous times how she balanced work and family, yet her husband never was. She found that incredibly sexist and said there has to be a change.
Although it seems some reporters have taken heed of fAskHerMore, others have not. The hashtag has created a dialogue and successfully sparked a major discussion that will hopefully permeate future award shows.
