CANNES<\/strong> \u2013 Cate Blanchett<\/a> said the #MeToo movement \u201cgot killed very quickly\u201d in Hollywood, speaking Sunday at the Cannes Film Festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a wide-ranging staged conversation, Blanchett lamented that the tide of #MeToo has been turned in Hollywood, where she has been outspoken about gender equality. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt got killed very quickly, which I think is interesting,\u201d said Blanchett. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a lot of people with platforms who are able to speak up with relative safety and say this has happened to me,” Blanchett said. “And the so-called average woman on the street, person on the street, is saying MeToo. Why does that get shut down?\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2018, when she was president of the jury in Cannes, Blanchett took part in a red-carpet protest. She and 81 other women appeared on the steps of the Palais des Festivals<\/a>, symbolically representing the number of female director who were selected for Cannes’ competition lineup. Over the same period, 1,866 male directors had been selected. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still on film sets and I do the headcount every day. There\u2019s 10 women and there\u2019s 75 men every morning,\u201d Blanchett said. <\/p>\n

\u201cI love men, but what happens is the jokes become the same,’ she said. “You just have to brace yourself slightly, and I\u2019m used to that, but it just gets boring for everybody when you walk into a homogeneous workplace.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
