5 memorable quotes from the Oscars Time’s Up/Me Too montage

At the 90th Academy Awards Sunday night, Salma Hayek, Ashley Judd, and Annabella Sciorra — three women who have publicly accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct — introduced a video montage about diversity and on-screen representation in storytelling.

“This year, many spoke their truth, and the journey ahead is long,” Sciorra said, “but slowly a new path has emerged.”

Here are five noteworthy quotes from the actors, directors, and writers who took part in the Oscars montage.

—”Some of my favorite movies are movies by straight white dudes, about straight white dudes. Now straight white dudes can watch movies starring me, and you relate to that. It’s not that hard. I’ve done it my whole life.” –Actor and screenwriter Kumail Nanjiani

—”The industry has to become sincerely curious about the human essence that has become invisible behind stereotypes.” –Actress Salma Hayek

—”When ‘Thelma and Louise’ came out, the huge prediction in the press was, ‘This changes everything. We’re going to see so many more movies starring female characters.’ That didn’t happen. But, this is now that moment.” –Actress Geena Davis

—”I remember going to see ‘Wonder Woman.’ Sitting in the theater and hearing women cry. This big action extravaganza, and something clicked. And I’ll say it: this is what white men feel all the time. And all these women are having this experience for the first time. I imagine it’s gonna be the same thing when people go and see ‘Black Panther.'” –Director and screenwriter Barry Jenkins

—”Get ready for some more ‘Get Outs’, for some more ‘Black Panthers.’ Get ready for some more ‘Wrinkle in Times.’ We’re here, and we’re not going anywhere. –Director Lee Daniels
