PATRICIA CALLS FOR EQUAL PAY
Patricia Arquette won the Best Supporting Actress award for Boyhood last night – and used her speech to call for equal pay for women, saying “To every woman who gave birth, to every taxpayer and citizen of this nation, we have fought for everybody else’s equal rights. It’s time to have wage equality once and for all. And equal rights for women in the United States of America.” Stars including Meryl Streep and Jennifer Lopez jumped out of their seats to support her and give her a standing ovation.
