Award Shows: Sexism, Backlash & the Oscars

Content Warning: discussion of sexism, sexual harrassment & abuse and racism. This week we looked back to all the terrible, sexist things that have happened to *mainly* women on stage during  televised performances/award acceptances. Holly charts how the terrible events of Janet Jackson's 'Wardrobe Malfunction' 2004, to Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the 2009 VMAs might have impacted Billie Eilish's apologetic response to her historic Grammy win this year. Hannah ranks her top ten *worst* Oscars moments that start with the most cringiest and end up with the most offensive.  Follow us on instagram @culturehangpodcast, twitter @CultureHang and join our Facebook group here!
