“Tar” is competing for the prestigious best picture prize with front-runner “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” a kung fu adventure starring Yeoh as the protagonist tasked with saving the world.
In 2017, public revelations of sexual misconduct by producer Harvey Weinstein, which supercharged the #MeToo movement and was chronicled in last fall’s movie “She Said,” prompted women to speak out about their lack of power in Hollywood and demand equality given that they make up roughly half of the overall U.S. population. Data shows some improvement.
