On a night when women were demanding to be heard, the cast of "Big Little Lies" said it was extra gratified that the female-centric HBO show garnered the Golden Globe for limited TV series.
"For this show to be resonating at this time is extraordinary," Nicole Kidman, a winner for best actress in a limited series, told reporters backstage. "It allows us to speak and be heard."
The series, based on the bestselling novel from Liane Moriarty, revolves around a group of women living in Monterey and will return for a second season.
Star and co-producer Reese Witherspoon is one of the key players in the anti-sexual harassment coalition Time's Up that encouraged the fashion blackout at the ceremony. She spoke of the decision to unite in solidarity following a "difficult year" in Hollywood.
"A lot has come out of the darkness and into the light," she said. "I think there was a collective feeling that it wouldn't be business as usual. ...We're very privileged to be here. There are a lot of people in other industries who don't get the opportunity to be heard.
"Hopefully this is a small gesture that will continue to resonate."
