All eyes are on the Golden Globes red carpet, with dozens of stars wearing black as a form of protest.

Stars including Jessica Chastain, Emma Stone, Meryl Streep, The Rock and Tom Hiddleston announced their plans to wear black as a protest against harassment in Hollywood.

It follows a year of major scandals in the film industry after allegations were made against mogul Harvey Weinstein.

He continues to deny the claims.

"And we want to fix that and we feel sort of emboldened to stand together in a thick black line."
