“As an actor promoting a film, one is expected to participate in awards season by attending press conferences as well as awards shows. In the past, this has often meant facing sexist questions and remarks by certain HFPA members that bordered on sexual harassment. It is the exact reason why I, for many years, refused to participate in their conferences,” Johansson said.

Amazon Studios also issued a statement on Saturday, saying that it is awaiting significant change before resuming work with the organization. “We have not been working with the HFPA since these issues were first raised, and like the rest of the industry, we are awaiting a sincere and significant resolution before moving forward,” an Amazon Studios spokesperson said in a statement.

Oh now she's annoyed but she wasn't when she was opting to take roles away from Chinese and transgender actors. She's a hypocrite.

I think Scarlett’s a little late in voicing her opinion here but she is right what she said though thanks

Good. Golden Globes are a joke.

I like ScarJo. She picks battles very well.

Shows the kind of person Scarlett is. I'll just leave this right here.

😍😍😍😍😍

Scarlett as always perfect. I love that she stands up and says what she thinks regardless of what people are going to say. I'm in love with this woman

We love a wise queen 😍

prtlevanssonBR People who say she should talk don’t make sense. Like at all. Do you want people to not talk about it or do you want people to talk about it and tell others to not support it? Or are you just hypocrites?

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

This the lady who thought she can act in anything?
