Frances McDormand delivered a rallying cry for the #MeToo movement, which seeks to end harassment and gender double-standards, as she accepted the Oscar for best actress.

"Look around, ladies and gentlemen, because we all have stories to tell and projects we need financed," McDormand said with rising animation.
