I watched the male actors' round table, waiting for them to bring up sexual harassment and pay inequality. I watched the directors' round table, waiting for them to ask about harassment and inequality. It never happened. Right from the start, the women are asked about these issues. These are not women's problems. They're industry issues. They're institutional failings. They're human problems. Why is The Hollywood Reporter only addressing gender issues with the actresses? Shame on you. I am grateful for these women sharing their experiences and opinions, but it's not their job to address these wrongs alone. Ask these questions to the leading men, directors, producers and studio heads.
I guess you didn't watch the actors' roundtable, then... They WERE asked about this, hell they even cut that part only and made it a shorter video before they released the full roundtable...
Also, "pay inequality", funny...
That's a very good point with the directors roundtable!
Louder for the people in the back!
No pay inequality morons.
Michael Scott ?
Men’s round table first question : is now a good time to be an actor?
Women’s round table first question : S E X U A L A S S A U L T
well, that might be because they agreed to speak out about that subject primarily, then because the audience is more interested in the female point of view on this subject rather than the male opinion. Or they, the actresses themselves, requested it.
However, I think is cute for you saying that men should speak and give more their opinion on this subject.
because women are mainly getting sexually assaulted in the industry.
Shadooow 23 it’s also mainly men who commit these crimes... also they’re ALL part of the industry so they should all talk about it. Also, we want to hear about these actresses careers and thoughts on their movies as well not just about this stuff or family or whatever.
I read the different comments and I find myself waiting to also hear a certain topic confronted. I have feelings by this being the first and foremost question posed to this panel reduces them down to that being what they are good for instead of their amazing talent, skill and profession wealth of knowledge. At what point do we direct a specific topic to singular sex. I don’t argue that sexual harassment isn’t proportionally directed to women over men (of course men are affected and on the receiving end), but this gives me the same feeling as actress being asked on a red carpet what they are wearing or their relationship status vs a actor getting asked about a project or their role that they are there to celebrate. These are conversations and topics that need to be aggressively confronted and discussed, but I wonder why these comments are only first stated on this video apposed to being buried deep deep down on the male round tables. Is it reverse sexism, is this what feminism is, is only one panel supposed to discuss it, is the commentary only posted to the question list that is imposed by the host?...etc...etc.
Inequality everywhere
the way jessica chastain is a better interviewer than the actual host
Grace Curley But did you see the looks on their faces while she spoke.
She cares.
You're right. But some could see it like seeking attention. Actors are overall a bunch of narcissistic insecure people (nothing wrong with it).
I thought it was odd the way she singled out Mary J Blige
yeah wtf. it woulda come up on its own why does it have to be so heavy all the time
HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THIS.
GET RID OF THE INTERVIEWER AND JUST LET THE ACTRESSES SPEAK WITH EACH OTHER ON THEIR OWN TERMS.
Maybe give them a set of questions to give them guidance or whatever but otherwise...🙄
There has to be a moderator otherwise they'd end up talking about make-up and clothes.

SUCH A GOOD IDEA
Jessica Chastain immediately noticed(7:22sec) that the host asked everyone about their views on sexual harassment except for Mary J.Blige and then she herself asked Mary about her views.Hats off to Jessica Chastain!
I was wondering too why the guy skipped over her!
Fuck that guy
Jessica Chastain is one of the only women in Hollywood who claims to be a feminist and actually advocates for all women and not just the ones that look like her. Kuddos to her
He's part of the KKK
darshan garrewall Well that is simply not true no body was skipped over yeah she was last which is kinda weird but Jessica just cut in before he had the chance to ask her a question if you truly believe she was skipped it is simply cognitive bias
That moment when Jessica Chastain out shined the interviewer at interviewing.
Can we get a redo on this one? Some of my favorite actresses ever and we get this dumbas...
Why are there always people who complain about the interviewers ?
Just shut up ffs
@@ruly8153 Why? Because the interviewer is an integral part of the show. They're just as open for criticism OR praise as anyone else at the table.
@@ruly8153 Right?🙄🥱
Right, like how she was the first person to address Mary because the interviewer seemed to be determined to ignore her presence 🙄😒
Jessica Chastain: Do you think you were a tomboy to shield yourself from some of that?
Me: Jessica’s interviewing skills are on point.
Jessica thoughtful Interviewer great at listening , genuinely curious , intelligent, articulate about people and empathetic ♥️
I think it would be better if the actors just had the questions and talked to each other. Or Lacey Rose should host them all - she is awesome!
Right? She would have been a great therapist in my opinion at least from what we can see from her interviews.
Pls don't let this man moderate a round table ever again.
why?
Whyyyyy?
Or just keep him with the whites only table.
@@oceandrew I legitimately can't tell if you're being racist
@@KiaSoulEV-rt4sg No dear, I'm saying Matthew Belloni sucks at interviewing POC, especially women of colour. Really he sucks in general.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how Jessica brings our queen Mary J. Blige in the conversation?
Jessica is worth her weight in gold and more. She is lovely.
Yes. While watching I was hoping someone would do that, either the host or one of the guests.
Yes! I Was So Angry With The Host He Pointedly Directed His Question At Each One Of Them But Not Mary? Yes, I Think Even Jessica Felt Uncomfortable (Like Me) Noticed It And Directly Asked For Her Opinion To Her. So Yep! Really Appreciate It.
YES!
Yasss!
why didn't they focus a half hour on the gender issue in the men's round table. i'd love to see casey affleck weigh on 16 questions about power and abuse in hollywood
I'd feel sad for him. He did some bad things but I think he regrets it and it's not fair only focussing on that one thing since this was like 10 years ago..
@@chriswinston1223 It ain't a myth bru, it's a known fact this occurs and has been happening in almost all industries in America and all over the world.
@@chriswinston1223 Dude, you should be ashamed of yourself for the bullshit you just spoke. Go educate yourself on these fucking issues instead of coming from the defensive "anti feminism" angle.
Search for the court cases, search for the actual testimonies of such advances. Sexual harassment has been and still is a common thing on everyday life and these are issues that need to be talked about AND change.
@@chriswinston1223 I feel like you are definitely the type of man that they were talking about because I have seen many comments by you, vehemently denying and belittling everything they've said.
@@chriswinston1223 Wow. 1 in 4 women experience sexual violence in their lifetime. I think the cops should take note of your name because you sound like a grade A misogynist and a threat to any woman with the misfortune of knowing you.

Thank you Jessica Chastain for including Mary J as part of this conversation you did that, that was polite, sweet and very professional. That guy needs to learn!!
Oh, aren't you such a nice guy. LOLZ.
@@chriswinston1223 he is
Next time there’s a male roundtable, ask them some of the same questions about women’s equality in pay and opportunity, and sexual harassment and victimization.
...or....
...you hear never, how many hard working man struggle in their daily job to see the (young) family see through,
....or deivorce the cut of! Heather Mills has been sought £125m for divorcing from Paul McCartney!!
There are millions of women really struggling! Where is the solidarity here?
...the persantage of cuckoo chuld and yoou`ve no foundation to judge!
...women who blackmail their ex with their together child...broken existence following...
The truth is in the middle darling!
They were asked about harassment and the accused Franco spoke. He did not tilt the narrative, though, as he is either guilty or did not want to suicide his career. No men's table would want to talk about "equal" pay as it is a FALSE narrative and speaking the truth would get you canceled.
No
Jennifer Lawrence at 55:01 answering the question with “You are not a stand up guy” was most definitely directed at the interviewer himself lol.
She’s done that before in the interview with Stephen Galloway. He kept interrupting everyone to get his questions in, and she made point to tell a story about a time where ‘she’ needed to sit back and listen, and stop interrupting. She’s awesome!!
@@rozz4926 agreed!!
Please stop having black women on these panels to meet your quota and then asking them nothing and knowing very little about there work.
@Thisis Fun "useless opinion" sis shut up. her assertion is true, and she wasn't talking about all of the vidoes', she was talking about this one.
@Thisis Fun As he went around the table asking every actress questions he skipped Mary J. It took him 22 minutes to come back to her. Seriously dude "stop making assertions that are" just asinine af.
How do you know its quota. Mary had just been nominate for two oscars when this happened.
Tiffany Daley fr. i love all these actresses but ive never seen an asian actor or hispanic or more than one black actor.
I don’t think his (seemingly) lack of recognition of MJB’s presence at the table was intentional. I think she is just quieter and more reserved than the other ladies in this situation, thus said, she didn’t interject as often as the others did because they felt more comfortable than she did. It seemed as though, at times throughout this interview, it was hard for any 1 person to get a word in because most of them are very confident and had a lot more to say, or should I say, they felt more compelled and comfortable expressing their opinions and sharing their stories. I got the impression she felt a little intimidated, not due to race, but because all the other woman have a lot more acting experience than she does. This is not to say that she has less talent but less acting‘notches in her belt’ than her peers at that table. This is not a derogatory opinion against MJB - she is hugely successful within the entertainment industry in general, particularly since she can not only act but she is an incredibly talented performer as well, something the rest of the ladies at this table cannot claim.
The interviewer clearly did not believe in the topic being discussed..
That was sickening, for real... Why would you ask questions you don't feel concerned about it... You don't have to be a woman, just be a human for god damn sake
Wow I was only 12 minutes in when I wrote the first comment, I wasn't expecting the wage pay gap nodding dismissively 5 minutes later

@@emmastrouse_ woman of colour
I like how jessica asked for Mary's POV in several moments. They all had a good dynamic
What's POV?
@@nobodycares1423 point of view
17:40 WHEN THEY MAKE FUN OF HIM LMFAO I AM JUST LAUGHING
They weren't making fun of him, they were joking with each other because Jessica kept doing it like as at 15:40.
Sarah when he said “I mean we can talk about pay if you like” as if he was giving her permission? I can’t believe they didn’t completely ridicule him because he’s awful
Gaudrix No they were making fun of him Lol
I don't get it.
@@alicialorenzo9961 he do that with male actors too, so whats the problem?
The parents that have kids actors, should take a lesson from Saoirse Ronan's parents. Be present. Be there with them.
Her father is also an actor
That can kind of lead to helicopter parenting though. The kids are working. Normally when somebody gets a job it's looked on as strange if their parent shows up with them.
@@laurencummings9560 I wouldn't find it strange, there should be a parent if not a legal babysitter you never know what bs goes on with a bunch of crazies in their own world of bs
@@MA-dh4bk I was trying to compare it to non-acting jobs. Like if a kid gets a job at the grocery store at 15, it's usually seen as weird if their parent shows up to supervise.
@@laurencummings9560 I see. Apologies then. I was talking about children on sets without supervision.
Saoirse is just so delightful to hear. Her voice, her demeanor, everything about her is just amazing
The Irish accent is such a pleasure to hear 🤌🏻🇨🇮
freakin breathtaking.
@@dixienormous6969Yes I love the Ivory Coast flag! (U used the wrong flag..)
There was a part in this interview when the actresses were talking and having fun and I forgot the interviewer was there. That was my favourite part until he opened his mouth again.
Hold on what bit :)
Yeah I can relate
only one woman of color in the whole roundtable and he just continued to skip over her. Good on Jessica Chastain for noticing that.
17:39 can we just appreciate this moment between Jennifer, Emma and Jessica when they imitated johns way of taking his notes
haha :D , I haven't noticed before, thank you
LMAOOOOOO
thats HILARIOUS THANKS
HAHAHA Thanks!!
😂😂😂😂😂
The way Mary J and Emma look at him when he says “Brooklyn” after Saoirse says she did a 16th century period film lmaooo 26:33
Oh my word! Thank you for pointing that out! That was hilarious!!! I managed to miss it my first watch through. LOL
They not only gave him that look, then he was incorrect AGAIN by calling it a 19th century movie and Saoirse had to correct him again by saying 20th century. Jeez.
"what are you on" LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
they are like "this asshole"
@@shelbygrohn ml
Terrible terrible interviewer. These ladies and stories deserved a more compassionate host. But great job to the ladies and their grace.
🤦🏻♀️
True...facts
I knew as soon as I saw that they chose a man to be the interviewer for this that something would go wrong. Him interrupting the women, leading their responses with questions that assumed a specific answer, but the blatant racism of skipping over Mary and not making a move to rectify that even when another actress was making a point to include her was by far the worst.
the energy that emma stone and jennifer lawerance share is everything i want. 57:10 is literally so funny.
Someone tell this dude Mary J Blige is there and she also has an opinion. I am really mad about the way he treated her during the whole interview.
Female host would have been better.
Misandrist
I don't get why they put a guy interviewing them
Fuck off. What makes you think these simple-minded little actresses are more vital than the journalist?
@@chriswinston1223 What makes them simple minded ...............
I think the point is this..A male journalist can discussion female equality problem.
Go Jessica for bringing Mary in the conversation. I loved this, not all the questions being about the actresses outfits or interactions with men in acting. These ladies are all very well spoken in these subjects and I don't get why interviewers dodge these deeper topics.
51:06 i love the women's reaction, someone even whispered he said her name, i-
Actually Saoirse said to Allison, "I can't think of anyone, what do I say?". Jennifer then makes a joke saying "Just say me", Saoirse looks over at her and laughs, then Emma mouths to Saoirse, "Say her, say her."
Emma Stone's side eye when the interviewer says "Brooklyn" is a big mood.
I love the friendship between Emma and Jennifer.
Yes both sucking up to Harvey
D A Riiiiight, because they can't be friends without it having to do with a man somehow. Stfu.
L Neal 👏👏👏
D A stfu basically all of the women in hollywood did, also it has nothing to do w their friendship;)
xxoxox you shut the fuck up. You support sexual assault?
He just straight up cut them off at the end?? Bro it's a TH-cam video, there's no time limit! That was super rude and awkward
Jessica: "It's an industry that has normalized pay gaps"
Interviewer: Huh. *moves on*
And that's just it. The difference is so CLEAR when it is a male interviewer vs. a female interviewer. Or more to the point, an interviewer who OBVIOUSLY cares about women's issues! The conversations are more lively and free-flowing when it's a female interviewer. Because they're talking about these difficult (but necessary) topics, but this man is approaching this like it's a class and it's mandatory recitation time. There's no rapport, no easiness, which is his job!
He knows you morons are gagging to call him a racist/sexist at any opportunity.
I mean, some of those actresses have probably made more money from 1 project than that interviewer will make in his career. Why don't they talk about that pay gap? That might have more to do with why he was dismissive than his being male.
For context, Jennifer Lawrence was paid $10 million for Catching Fire. Someone making $40,000 a year would need to work for 250 years to make that much money.
@@laurencummings9560 Yes, but JLaw brings box office receipts..nobody gives a f about the host. It's an industry about sales....like any OTHER business. Eye roll.
@@MA-dh4bk You don't think it's at all understandable that someone would be dismissive of a person who made several million dollars for less than a year's work who is complaining about their pay?
@@MA-dh4bk My point was not that she doesn't deserve the money. My point is that it's weird that she would be complaining about pay gaps when she's benefitting from a massive pay gap.
He just skipped Mary J to the point that one of the actress felt like she had to ask a question to include her. That was awwwwwwkward!
Disgusting, honestly. Not awkward, just disgusting.
I'm 6:56 in and I've just notice him skip Mary for the first time, headed straight to the comments to see if others had noticed it. I can't believe he has the absolute nerve to do it!
Very awkward. He can only related to his own kind I guess. Corny but true.
I feared there would be awkwardness so I was gonna avoid this interview initially. Thank you for the heads up.
who was the actress?
Jen is that one friend that would say something funny in the midst of a serious conversation and make everyone forget what they were discussing about for 2 seconds. Love her
Jessica Chastain is a CLASS ACT hunny!!! She knew that guy skipped Mary J. Blige, maybe it was an accident but either way that was really nice of Jessica to do that instead of just taking her turn. 💚 That host should've apologized.
Mary J Blige has been acting since 1998 and has done plays and guest starring roles. So ignoring her was completely ridiculous. Jessica Chastain should've moderated this. This is just the role that has placed Mary J in a better spotlight but she's been an actress for some time now and has a valid voice. Lets not forget that Mary J Blige was originally supposed to play Nina Simone but had to drop due to financial reasons and the role went to Zoe Saldana. Don't short change her. New moderator for sure.
How was she being ignored or excluded in the dialogue between the actresses and the moderator who facilitates the conversation between all them. She made some very awesome points on all topics and was able to share plenty during the interview, if one were to think about how some of the other 6 people at the table were not sharing as much then you'd see that she wasn't being singled out. Maybe she didn't relate to and want to share as much cuz she was around only white people and was led by a male moderator. I feel that should change but she wasn't intentionally being left out of the conversation by everyone else. Like is a classroom, if you want to share you have to speak up in the conversation
@@tian_obia but it's not a classroom. It's moderated. It's up to that person to direct the questions. For a nice chunk of this interview he directed them all to every actress but her until Jessica Chastain invited her into the conversation which she shouldn't have to, that's the moderators job. We wouldn't know if she wanted to answer or not, as he wasn't directing anything towards her for a minute.
@@BlackGirlMarvel Thats true but some of the discussion is voluntarily based like you would in a classroom raising your hand while the teacher facilitates the discussion. I mean I agree that it was weird that she was the last one to speak only because Jessica decided to ask her about that topic. But a lot of the talk was an open discussion that the actresses could chime in on and even ask each other questions. In my opinion he isn't a great moderator and maybe should've had a women but he wasn't being a racist or trying to single people out like so many have accused him of doing
@@tian_obia I never stated he was a racist just that he wasn't great at what he does. Watching it, to me, he didn't pay her any mind. Through all these I watch, including this, they ask the actors questions. Or they'll ask a question and then call an actress out. He pretty much called out everyone to answer a question he asked but Mary J Blige. It wasn't until Jessica asked for her point of view that he started to include her in the conversation.
@@BlackGirlMarvel No true I know you didn't call him a racist or think that but some other people do and am curious why people think that he singled her out when its a white male moderator who didn't engage with her until later in the interview. I agree that he should've been better in general or that they should've just brought in a good female interviewer but he certainly wouldn't have gone throughout the whole interview without asking her questions or having her engage in the discussion. Alls I'm saying is that some of the issue was him not giving her a chance to speak until later in the interview (poor job on him) but some of it was on Mary and any of the actresses to engage with each other in a voluntary discussion.
Why did he completely ignore Mary on that table in the first round discussion? Jessica noticed though...🙌
L. Ann Z he didn't
Mike Lee he really did. He went in perfect clockwise sequence up until her and then just skipped her and went to the next lady. Whether he did it or not isn't up for the discussion because it's literally in front of your face. Why he did and why are u defending him is the question.
CuntRollFreak_nowasabi Well that is simply not true no body was skipped over yeah she was last which is kinda weird but Jessica just cut in before he had the chance to ask her a question if you truly believe she was skipped it is simply cognitive bias
Mike Lee no it's like right there...it's just a random coincidence that he just skipped mjb, but not Emma or Jen..that's what they've been doing for years..brushing off things as coincidence...in fact that's what this roundtable is even about..are you listening?? It's not my cognitive bias dude i think it's your cognitive dissonance
CuntRollFreak_nowasabi I am open minded to your point of view you might even be right but I honestly just do not see it maybe they edited to seem like that but Ima just stick with IDK on this one
that collective sound of disgust at 16:14 was amazing
mens roundtable: asking about their jobs
womens: S E X U A L A S S A U L T
Jessica Chastain is honestly one of the most genuine people I've ever seen.
They should have just had JC lead the discussion and left the guy out altogether.
"The guy" is an experienced journalist. What are they exactly other than brain dead chicks who got lucky in Hollywood?
Agreed! Why even have a male interviewer for a women’s table.
Serious...heavy... serious... female rights, sexual assault
..."soooo...allison...what was your fav role?" Really? Wtf is HE asking these questions. He transitioned that so badly. Hes awful
MissKK660 Right, one of the actresses (I forget who, sorry) made a lovely point on pay equality and he's like "hm. Soooo Allison, what role affected you blah blah blah"
I'm wheezing
Saoirse Ronan's accent is like so soothing and lovely. I could listen to her talk about anything.
I think it's really shameful that Mary J. Blige was not invited into the conversation until 7 minutes into this video, and that it wasn't even by the moderator, especially considering that she is one of the only women at the table who has admitted she was abused, she has more to add to this conversation than even the rest do. It's also shameful that she's the only woman of color in this round table, we are at a point where lack of diversity cannot be overlooked. This is a great conversation to have, but you should pick your moderators more consciously and choose your subjects more wisely.
The old bitch was later lol
Exactly! 🙌🏽

As a man this brought me to tears I won’t see a change in my lifetime unless I live to 100/150 I feel for this struggle my mother experienced abuse and it has stayed with me since I was a little boy. I know there are millions of brothers and father’s out there who would give their lives for their sisters and mothers and father’s who would give their lives for their daughters. We will support you no matter what happens but I also know that you don’t want us to do anything that could be detrimental to our lives. Discussions like this should have men and women participating.
Love the actresses chemistry with each other. The host: not so much. I like the other female host better.
Go cry in the car Jen.
@@SRBOMBONICA86 this ain’t misandry bruh💀
WHY was Mary skipped over???????
Because she's black.
He’s a rude interviewer
I'm so uncomfortable watching him barely ask her anything
Love how Allison Janney is sceaming internally when Jessica Chastain brought up the deal process at 16:18. You can see how she's trying to remember every single time this happened to her. This is infuriating.
The interviewer acted like Mary J Blige didn’t exist. He didn’t even acknowledge her in anyway. He asked everyone else questions and said their names when asking Accept for Mary. Those are micro aggressions. He’s racist. I like Jessica she made sure Mary wasn’t overlooked. It was the interviewers responsibility though.
I feel like the host could have eased into the conversation about sexual abuse. Ask about their roles and ACTING first, and then steer the conversation into that. Women are always expected to speak for all women's issues when the people who should be put under pressure is MEN. Why ask them if things are gonna change? The one's who have to change are men who benefit from this system, even if they are not perpetrators themselves. Humble opinion.
First, that's not a "humble" opinion. If it were, you wouldn't accuse "MEN" as in all men in the industry.
Second, women aren't expected to speak for all women's issues. They are taking it upon themselves to speak for all women's issues.
Third, It's sexist to say "MEN" should be put under pressure because as individuals we can only control our own actions. If a man wants to sexually abuse, assault, or rape a woman he will do it no matter what happens. Which doesn't mean we as human beings shouldn't do anything about it, but it does mean we should have a civil discussion about this subject together and come up with solutions to minimize the possibility of it happening again.
You are right. Thankfully in the Roundtable with Taraji Henson and Isabelle Huppert the conversation was asked and Huppert bluntly said, that question is misogynist and I'm not going to answer. The other actresses backed her up. They never ask the men these questions, in any form.
He was a horrible host. Chastain had to bring MJB into the conversation initially. The women hosts in this series do a much better job.
@@TheSlodfj5 Perhaps, Frank, you might listen to a man, because you, like most guys, are not getting it. www.ted.com/talks/jackson_katz_violence_against_women_it_s_a_men_s_issue
And btw? Your comment about it "happening again?" - - > it's happening *right now:* - - > every 4 minutes a woman is raped in the world by a man.
(And please don't argue this statistic with me, or ask where is the study backing it up? Look up the multitude of studies yourself, the evidence is overwhelming. But.... Can we agree that no matter what the statistic is specifically, that this number is unacceptable? Can we agree, you agree in writing, that a *single woman or child* being raped by a man is incontrovertibly unacceptable? Can we start there? That seems to me to be unarguable.
If it is not incontrovertible that a man raping someone is a bad thing, if that is even a question that exists in your mind, what does this say about men? - Watch the TED TALK if you are a man and you are reading this and you are not putting your hands on your bowed head and sobbing for your gender.)
This isn't a "few bad apples," this isn't the occasional exception, a "one-off." This isn't something that we try and "minimize the possibility of it happening again."
- - *We can't "minimize the possibility of something happening again" *if we can't get it to EVEN STOP HAPPENING in the first place.*- -
People say that sexism is no longer a real problem. My reply is always the same. When roughly half the elected officials in this country and roughly half the higher management/officers in business are women, then I will stop talking about inequality in our society based on gender.
S
I should add a quote from the recommended TED TALK at the beginning of my previous post, illustrating some of my points above:
" Why is domestic violence still a big problem in the US and all over the world? What's going on? Why do so many men abuse physically, emotionally, verbally, and other ways, the women and girls, and the men and boys, that they claim to love? What's going on with men? Why do so many adult men sexually abuse little girls and boys? Why is that a common problem in our society and all over the world today? Why do we hear over and over again about new scandals erupting in major institutions like the Catholic Church or the Penn State football program or the Boy Scouts of America, on and on and on? And then local communities all over the country and all over the world. We hear about it all the time. The sexual abuse of children. What's going on with men? Why do so many men rape women in our society and around the world? Why do so many men rape other men? What is going on with men? And then what is the role of the various institutions in our society that are helping to produce abusive men at pandemic rates?" - Jackson Katz
Nothing but respect for my President, Jessica Chastain.
Jon Snow papa bless
Jon Snow goodluck with that
you know nothing

YES I LOVE HER
I just want to say how much I appreciate Emma stone mentioning those that wernt ready to share their story and how triggering seeing all those stories coming out can be for those that aren't ready. That's exactly what happened to me. I had it suppressed ever since it happened to me and the me too movement is what really brought everything to the surface for me. Seeing everyone talk about it constantly made me feel like everyone knew about ME. Did anyone else experience this?
Some serious talent at this table. Jennifer Lawrence, Jessica Chastain and Soairse Ronan are 3 of my favourite actresses
emma stone too 😍😍🔥🔥
Huge shout out to Jessica Chastain for what she did for Ocatavia Spencer(her fees) last month.This woman really knows the meaning of being a feminist
Yeah, super feminist. Judged her character because she looked like a kardashian. 🙄
@natalie zayas-bazan what does her look have to do with this?
Jessica Chastain is one of the biggest man haters in Hollywood so yes she sure does.
Anna M - A good person.
Yeah like telling girls or other women that they needn't learn to defend themselves because people are just gonna stop being creeps, or stop being sexual predators.
Such helpful feminist advice. I'm sorry but Chastain is a dunce.
I love Jessica so much, she was very aware the interviewer was ignoring Miss Mary J.
I don't wanna call him a racist, but why was he ignoring her? I'm mad
Chaco M i think he just forgot, it would have been better if he followed an order, but seems to me that he did it in random.
Chaco M I think he's either a racist or he thought his next question doesn't apply to her because she went through the music industry rather than the film industry first.
Chaco M I love how your first instinct was racism. Idiot.
LBMultimediaDesign he could have easily asked her something different, just like Jessica did. Guess we have another racist on the comments.
Chaco M good point, the fact that people's kneejerk reaction was that he's being racist, (when there are a lot of other possible reasons as to why she was skipped, there's also a possibility that he wasn't actually done askin that particular question yet) shows that they too, are being racist. At least sub-consciously.
Edit: I meant to tag the autist whisperer.
14:36-14:41 Emma Stone throws a perfect segue to Jennifer Lawrence and gets verbal pushback from that announcer. Shut up dude, recognize a smooth transition and step out of its way.
I implore people to be more like Jessica especially if you're in a group conversation and notice the person who isn't being included to reach out and get them involved!
saoirse's accent is so wonderful to listen to
Seanjkbs best actress working today and she is only 23
Maximillien Robespierre An overstatement
Since when do people like listening to their own accent? Use some sense dipshit
Ah, of course you had trouble understanding this basic conversation. You subscribe to fucking "learn astrology" youtube channels. You are the bottom of the barrel when it comes to intelligence. My apologies, I had no idea. I'll let you get on with your fulfilling life of starting shit with people in youtube comments and learning made up bullshit from old senile women.
Wow you failed basic reading comprehension again, shocking!
Saoirse Ronan is so frigging beautiful. Intelligent too
Watching this is 2/2020 and Thank you Jessica Chastain for including Mary J Blige into the conversation because Matt COMPLETELY and almost rudely overlooked her! No clue why maybe he was waiting to involve her when he got to the newbie section or the music to actor transition but she's apart of the industry and I really wanted to hear what she had to say. So again thank you Jessica.
Jessica Chastain should host one of these cuz she's on point and makes so much sense
Jessica Chastain is so smart and interesting. I never knew that about her.
"Why are you teaching me to defend myself instead of teaching guys not to be creeps?" 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Mareeen14 when did they said that?👏
Victoria Quesada 22:00
Because... guys are creeps? This is a horrendous analogy, but here goes:
"Why are you teaching me to lock my door instead of teaching people not to break into houses?"
I'm curious to hear (or I guess read) your response.
you assume we don't already teach girls and women to protect themselves. we learn to protect ourselves from a very early age. his daughter knew how to protect herself, like every woman does. it doesn't always work. the lock doesn't always hold. yeah, lock your door, but if someone gets through and is caught they're going to jail and there are going to be repercussions. we're taught not steal and if someone does steal, society tells us there are no excuses. so lets teach men there are no excuses to rape and harass.
its more on the side of, you can be comfortable with yourself if you feel you can protect yourself. instead of just relying on other peoples sense of decency.
I’m really surprised of how well-spoken and well-informed Jessica is. No pun intended.
All these women had such empathy on their faces and I loved how they listened to one another so intently.
I like how it took Jessica Chastain opening her mouth to get Mary J. Blige in the conversation
oh no... the black skin wasn't being deferred to with ultimate reverence....
@@No1More1Mr1Nice1Guy1 Precisely. I'm sick of their victimisation. It's evident it's blacks who can't seem to just get over it and so they perpetuate the issue. Maybe if we just shut up and appreciated that she was just overlooked for a short while for no other reason than that others were talking then it would be no big deal. It has nothing to do with her skin colour!
@@stevej4328 you are absolutely delusional. its blatant racism. people of color have been treated this way for god knows how long now, to dismiss that and say they just have to get over it DISGUST the absolute FUCK of out me and I wish people like you can wake up, people of color don't have the privilege to be as fucked and as delusional as you, do realize that. we are not victimizing anyone, it is what it is, the host went over everyone on the panel EXPECT MJB and you really meant to tell me its just an accident? let me tell you something if today he only skipped over Jennifer Lawrence yall will get MAD as hell, its racism, its prejudice, and its oppression. Stop ignoring it, wake the FUCK up.
@@stevej4328 shut up Steve
I'm so proud of MJ Blige. I appreciate Jessica Chastain for including Mary in the discussion in the beginning and I loooveee Sairose's accent
Gmail name MJ should be speaking for herself, she was absolutely unwilling to participate. All the others are laughing, pitching, sharing ideas, even interrupting each other..... honestly, she needs to learn to speak up, or just don’t go to round tables, it was cringy to see how uncomfortable she looked.
@@rombrana6311 the interviewer directly looked and point at people for certain questions he did multiple times and bounced over Mary j bilge and ignored her Jessica saved this interview
i just love when Jennifer and Emma are in the same room, they have such a great vibe between them
Mary J Blige is already legendary. not sure any of these folks really understand how iconic this woman is. 👑👑👑👑👑👑👑
Jessica Chastain came across really well here.
Blue Calm Productions i will give you that
She always does in my opinion. She seems like a highly intelligent and aware individual.
Yeah, she seems to respect everyone equally and not look down on others from a bubble of fame and entitlement (unlike narcissists J-Law and Emma Stone)
How?
T Clark she was the only one in this table who showed respect to a legend like Mary J Blidge
that point towards the end where the interviewer directly addressed Mary J Blige and said her name and everybody else around the table reacted..."omg. he said her name.finally! " #gold
Actually Saoirse said to Allison, "I can't think of anyone, what do I say?". Jennifer then makes a joke saying "Just say me", Saoirse looks over at her and laughs, then Emma mouths to Saoirse, "Say her, say her."
Gaudrix 51:08
They were talking about something else.
Jennifer Lawrence is def. Taking notes from Jessica Chastain
I love the clear disdain all of these women have for the interviewer.
26:28 did the host really think Brooklyn existed in the 16th century LMAO
i know, so cringy
Emma's look to him after he said that should be freeze-framed and made into a meme.
Emma and Mary J's faces when the host mistook Brooklyn for the 16th century movie should be in the Meme Hall of Fame.
17:40 is so awkward that dude legit shifts from the topic point blank
Jen and Emma banter is all I live for 😂
I wonder if it would've made a difference for the table interview to have a female interviewer. Less talking at and more talking with.
I wonder if it would have made a difference if they had a few men on the panel.
You do understand what a interviewer is there to do correct? He’s there to ask questions not be apart of the conversation. How can you be this dumb
@@gutsk345nd7 don't belittle and say "dumb" ..that's so rude. On occasion, i've seen the interviewer engage a little with some light hearted responses or agreements or smiling/nodding to show there's some soul underneath.
I think the host's job is to really listen and not speak, in order to get as much on the topic before moving onto the next topic, his job is to get through in time, he knows that if he speaks it just takes away more time to get other words out and it should be from the women. If enough people are interested in how the hosts of these roundtables are, then maybe petition to have them have roundtables just for the key interviewers and have an actress like Jessica Chastain host them and do the questioning :)
exactly
I've just realized I've also been pretending to be a tomboy for the last couple years because of this.
When you show your femininity men and boys will treat you different, and mostly not in a respectful way. Not in a way that makes you feel positively valued.
EDIT: Serious actors are some of the most Empathetic people out here.
Marlena Sien you’re very clearly indoctrinated. So sad young women think that femininity, a weapon actually used to hold you down, will bring you high regard and power. Femininity fades, superficial beauty fades within a blink of an eye and all your left with is a vapid shell. Femininity is not natural for any species, so why would we humans, specifically women, be the exception?.. because we, women, are not the exception, it isn’t baked in our brains to like makeup, high hills, subduction, dresses and all things “girly”, we’re deliberately socially engineered through countless of hours and years of indoctrination into being that unnatural way.
Great roundtable! Probably one of my favorite. Such classy ladies from all ages and backgrounds. Allison Janney is awesome just in her ability to be present and comfortable, and Jennifer and Emma's friendship gives me life! Saorise holds her own so well for someone so young, and Jessica is an eloquent, humble, beautiful lady. Mary J. Blige has a beautiful soul. This one is for keeps!
I love Emma and Jennifer referring to each other as John, it's an inside joke they have because they had the same "stalker". You can watch the story about it on their interview with W magazine.
After Saorsi spoke for the first time I was expecting the interviewer ask Mary J Blige something. However, he massively ignored her. Hats off to Jessica who instantly reacted and included her. Love her!
I love how Emma Stone stands up for all women receiving equal pay than just actresses. I love her compassion.
Mary J Blige saying that she hates recordings of her own voice is the most relatable thing ever. I love her.
Not many comments about Allison Janney. She has some serious acting chops. Academy Award, BAFTA, Emmy, Golden Globe and SAG winner. Also 2 Tony award nominations.
The interviewer seemed like a dum dum.. pretty dismissive of almost all answers
Saoirse Ronan is such a talented actress.
She's brilliant. The fact that she wasn't spoken to longer is a missed opportunity. She's one of the, if not, the most intelligent woman and the best actress of the bunch. Big disappointment that the woman on the left side of the table didn't get a chance to speak more.
Damn that Irish accent on a beauty tho 😍
On point. Look how gorgeous she is, so classy and showing the class.👏👏❤
This six year old video has gone viral again with Jennifer Lawrence's vignette about pushing-back and getting labeled "difficult."
I just want to add that back in the early and mid-90s I worked in a nightclub in Hollywood that hosted a hip-hop night, and it was an incredibly difficult work environment. On one particular night Mary J. Blige was a performing guest. She saw the club promoters and guests mistreating me and she immediately interceded on my behalf. She is an amazing person. This happened thirty years ago and I have never forgotten her strength and kindness and I never will.
I truly admire Jennifer Lawrence for all her opinions and work for others in health and education. Specially when she spoke about pay gap and gender issues and people mocked about her comments bc she was not talking for herself, she was talking for others
I am impressed by Jessica Chastain i think i might watch alot more of her movies. She has and understanding that doesn't come from books. She gets the essence of emotional situations which I have not seen in many people.
If you haven't seen it yet, watch The Tree of Life! Magnificent!!
Her _understanding_ rarely comes from facts either. She has defamed several innocent people for being "sexual predators" or "rapists" in the past year.
For instance, right off the bat here she names Fatty Arbuckle in her litany of alleged perverts and abusers, fully ignoring the mountains of evidence that Arbuckle was falsely accused by a notorious grifter.
That instinct to promote and portray falsehoods as true has served her well in her profession. Not, however, in reality.
FungusMossGnosis that's an interesting perspective I did not consider. I was looking more at the manner in which she engaged each person at the table while including Mary J Blige in the conversation while not embarrassing the interviewer from some poor facilitating. With that being said I would have to fact check the fatty Arbuckle situation before I can rebut your claims of distorted thinking on her part but want to know more now. Thanks.
Incogsino Channel watch zero dark 30 and interstellar. My tops!
Incogsino Channel interstellar and zero dark thirty are my tops! But I still have to watch Molly's game.
I love how Jen and Emmas friendship just shines through in this very serious conversation
Yes, they are awesome! :)
Mother! is one of the best film in that decade, very memorable and very haunting till now!
the combo of Jennifer, Jessica and Emma is incredible amazing! love them!
Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence need to be in a movie together!
I know! I was so intrigued by the "secret project" they said they are working on
