Rose McGowan

ROSE MCGOWAN'S ATTACK ON NATALIE PORTMAN WAS A WELCOME CUFF IN AN AGE

may you ramble … Rose McGowan & Natalie Portman. Composite: Invision/AP; Eric Gaillard There are flies in the ointment right now who are irritated by Rose McGowan. There are flies out there who are saying to one another: “Can’t she just pipe down for five freakin’ minutes and let us enjoy the ointment?” That’s how annoying Rose McGowan is. And long may she

continue.

Her latest target is the actor Natalie Portman, who attended the Oscars ceremony on Sunday in a dress embroidered with the names of female film-makers overlooked in this year’s awards nominations, among them Greta Gerwig (Little Women

),

Mati Diop (Atlantics

)

and Alma Har’el (Honey Boy

).

The usual questions on the red carpet gave Portman the chance to explain her particular fashion choice: “I wanted to recognise the women who were not recognised for their incredible work this year in

my subtle way.”

ROSE MCGOWAN: NATALIE PORTMAN'S OSCARS DRESS PROTEST 'DEEPLY

OFFENSIVE'

That display of solidarity really got McGowan’s goat. In a Facebook post she called it “the kind of protest that gets rave reviews from the mainstream media” but was “more like an actress acting the part of someone who cares. As so many of them do.” She went on: “I find Portman’s type of activism deeply offensive to those of us who actually do the work.” Now the target of McGowan’s ire has responded, brushing aside any suggestions that the protest-by-needlework was brave (“Brave is a term I more strongly associate with actions like those of the women who have been testifying against Harvey Weinstein the last few weeks, under incredible pressure”) and answering accusations that she has rarely emboldened female film-makers in her own career choices: “Unfortunately, the unmade films I have tried to make are a ghost

history.”

For me to judge whether Portman’s actions amounted to “lip service”, as McGowan suggested, would be to set new standards for mansplaining. What I do believe is that McGowan’s attacks on the complacency of celebrity culture are more necessary than ever now that #MeToo has become a normalised part of our collective vocabulary. Her anger was vital two years ago, when she accused Meryl Streep of

hypocrisy

,

claiming that the multiple Oscar-winner knew about Harvey Weinstein’s predatory behaviour, an accusation Streep vehemently

denied –

though whether it was true or not was less relevant than the conversation it started about complicity and collusion in Hollywood. There were plenty of people, women among them, who _did_ know about Weinstein, even if Streep wasn’t one of them. SIGN UP TO OUR FILM TODAY EMAIL

McGowan’s anger is just as vital now. It is deeply uncomfortable to hear – as uncomfortable as Joaquin Phoenix using his Oscar win to raise the subject of forced bovine insemination – and many people will want to dismiss it, as well as dismissing the actor herself as a crank or a troublemaker. If she has proved anything since her allegations against Weinstein turbo-boosted the #MeToo movement (she alleged that he raped her, and then destroyed her career: he responded with an out-of-court settlement) then it is that she will not merely speak truth to power, but that she will keep on speaking it long after the world is trying its best not to listen. Feminism cuts a little deeper than the assertion made on stage at the Oscars by Sigourney Weaver, Brie Larson and Gal Gadot that “all women are superheroes”. (What, _all _women? Katie Hopkins? Asma al-Assad?) If we want to feel warm and snuggly there are spas for that. For reality checks, there’s Rose McGowan. AMERICA FACES AN EPIC CHOICE... ... this year, and the results will define the country for a generation. These are perilous times. Over the last three years, much of what the Guardian holds dear has been threatened – democracy, civility, truth. This US administration is establishing new norms of behaviour. Anger and cruelty disfigure public discourse and lying is commonplace. Truth is being chased away. But with your help we can continue to put it center stage. Rampant disinformation, partisan news sources and social media's tsunami of fake news is no basis on which to inform the American public in 2020. The need for a robust, independent press has never been greater, and with your support we can continue to provide fact-based reporting that offers public scrutiny and oversight. Our journalism is free and open for all, but it's made possible thanks to the support we receive from readers like you across America in all 50

states.

On the occasion of its 100th birthday in 1921 the editor of the Guardian said, "Perhaps the chief virtue of a newspaper is its independence. It should have a soul of its own." That is more true than ever. Freed from the influence of an owner or shareholders, the Guardian's editorial independence is our unique driving force and

guiding principle.

We hope you will consider supporting us today. We need your support to keep delivering quality journalism that’s open and independent. Every reader contribution, however big or small, is so valuable. SUPPORT THE GUARDIAN FROM AS LITTLE AS $1 – AND IT ONLY TAKES A

MINUTE. THANK YOU.

R McGowan is the Hollywood queen of self-promotion. Where N Portman rightfully emphasises the lack of recognition for female directors in industry awards, RM continues to push her own cause at all costs. And what cause is that? Herself.

Hang on a second, Ricky Gervais called out meaningless, hypocritical celebrity gestures at awards shows and was fiercely attacked from the left as some form of alt-right troll. Now Rose McGowan has done the same and it's the best thing since sliced bread? What gives? (For what it's worth, I think both were pretty much bang on the

money).

I suspect that to most people it just looked liked she wanted to get her name in the news again.

It's easy to criticise Natalie Portmsn but how many of us wore capes to work this morning without any effort to raise awareness about

issues?

Except that Phoenix was doing a Natalie Portman and vice versa. The result re Pheonix was for the Academy to declare it was the 'most important part of the evening'. If you seriously want to be taken seriously do not accept award after award and then empathise with everyone who didnt get an award. And dont talk about cow babies, you

sound like a twat.

Am I alone in not really caring what Natalie Portman wore to the Oscars nor what Rose McGowan thinks of what Natalie Portman wore to

the Oscars?

(Not intended maliciously towards either woman - this is a completely benign indifference).

Has "uncomfortable to hear" become the polite way of saying "cringe

inducing"?

These people live in a different world. Portman's gesture was ridiculous and equally vacuous, but it wasn't "deeply offensive". I would've liked to have seen a reporter put the question to Portman: "From who would you have removed the nomination, to see one of these names nominated instead?"
