The first major awards show to be held since Hollywood was rocked by multiple sexual harassment scandals is taking place tonight, and the issue will no doubt be front and center from start to finish.

The 75th Golden Globes will be hosted by Seth Meyers, who almost certainly will address the scandals in his opening monologue.

Meyers told The Hollywood Reporter that even though he often takes on the Trump administration on his late-night show, he thinks it's "far more important" to focus on "everything that's happened in Hollywood...as opposed to anything that's happening in Washington."

Moreover, many of the stars who are attending have pledged to wear black in solidarity with the victims of sexual harassment and misconduct. The pledge is just one part of the Time's Up initiative, launched by some of entertainment's most powerful women.

The initiative includes a call for gender equality at movie studios and talent agencies, and a $14 million legal fund to help victims of harassment nationwide.

Eva Longoria told The New York Times, "There’s a misconception that this is a silent protest. Instead of [reporters] asking us who we’re wearing, they’ll ask us why we’re wearing black. We’re using that platform and using our voices to say we can change this ideology, and shatter the sexism that teaches men that women are less.”

As for the awards themselves, the film "The Shape of Water" and HBO's "Big Little Lies" lead the nominees. "The Shape of Water" earned seven nominations, including Best Motion Picture -- Drama, Best Director for Guillermo del Toro, and Best Screenplay. Close behind are "The Post" and "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri," both with six nods.

Of note, actor Christopher Plummer is a nominee for the movie "All the Money in the World." After the movie's original star, Kevin Spacey, was accused by multiple people of sexual misconduct, director Ridley Scott quickly re-shot all of Spacey's scenes with Plummer.
