US actresses including Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington have praised their UK ‘sisters’ for leading the Times Up charge at the 2018 Baftas.
‘Time. Is. Up. And we are global! #TimesUp #BAFTA,’ tweeted Kerry on Sunday night in reply to a tweet from Bafta which read: ‘Tonight, black is not just for the red carpet.
‘Tonight, at the #BAFTAs and beyond, we wear black to say #TIMESUP on workplace abuse, inequality and harassment. Tonight, join us in your homes, your community and on social media as we show the world #WHYWEWEARBLACK.’
