The actress, 39, took home the award for her portrayal of Broadway dancer Gwen Verdon in Fosse/Verdon and used her acceptance speech to stand up for equal pay. Thank you so much to FX and Fox 21 Studios for supporting me completely and paying me equally because they understood that when you put value into a person, it empowers that person to get in touch with their own inherent value, Williams said at Sundays ceremony. And then where do they put that value? They put it into her work. So the next time a woman, and especially a woman of color, because she stands to make 52 cents on the dollar compared to her white male counterpart, tells you what she needs in order to do her job, listen to her, believe her, she said. Because one day she might stand in front of you and say thank you for allowing her to succeed because of her workplace environment and not in spite of it. --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 ...

I read speech thinking it was by the black Michelle Williams. Oh it the white one trying to be a savior after winning award over several people of color.

Equal pay for everyone, but even more equal pay for WOC.

People still push that 52 cent bullshit? Wow. Shes particularly upset because her contract didnt have a provision for getting extra pay when they need to do re shoots where as her costar (mark Whalberg) did, so he got an extra few million of something like that when they had to re do all the Kevin spacey scenes and she didnt. Now shes trying to push it as a result of sexism and completely ignoring the fact that maybe Marky Mark just has a better agent and/or is a bigger star. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Next time you go to a fast food restaurant remember that the female workers there are being paid 52 cents less than their male counterparts, and their male counterparts are being paid minimum wage.
