This year's awards season has been the stars' venue of choice to express their for the change that movements such as Time's Up and Me Too are aiming for. Back in January, actors, and actresses walked the red carpet Oprah delivering an imioned one that quickly became the talk of the town. But this is the first time that the aforementioned causes are given their own proper time to be acknowledged, and no less than during Hollywood's biggest night.

The ceremony will be once again hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, his second time following last year's controversial gathering.
