During the red carpet interviews ahead of the Golden Globes Sunday night, E! News’ Ryan Secrest and NBC’s Carson Daly asked actresses about the “Time’s Up” initiative, but were criticized on Twitter for interrupting them.
Most actresses wore black or the “Time’s Up” pin to show support for the initiative. It was launched on Jan. 1, following months of upheaval in Hollywood as more men were brought down by sexual harassment allegations.

The initiative aims to stop sexual harassment in the workplace, and also launched a legal fund to help women fight sexism in legal cases. Acceptance speeches were filled with references to the movement, and calling for gender equality in Hollywood.
Daly was criticized for his interviews during NBC’s pre-show, as viewers noticed he seemed to be cutting actresses off when they began speaking.
What a perfect night to interrupt women when they’re talking, Carson. #goldenglobes #timesup

The golden globe way. Ask an actress what they think about this controversial shit, and then interrupt them mid sentence.. #GoldenGlobes #Typical

On the NBC preshow Carson Daly seemed off kilter as well and would interrupt an answer prematurely.

Carson Daly would interrupt his own murder to get his bullshit lines out of his mouth #GoldenGlobes

Over on E! Network, Sacrest didn’t have an easy time, either. Eva Longoria confronted him about the wage gap among E! Network anchors, while Debra Messing did the same in an interview with Giuliana Rancic. Both E! hosts were criticized by viewers at home.
One year, Giuliana and Ryan will learn not to interrupt the people they’re interviewing #GoldenGlobes #ERedCarpet

Hey @RyanSeacrest & @GiulianaRancic please don’t forget to ask the men why they are supporting the #TimesUp movement & when you ask the women please don’t interrupt them #WhyWeWearBlack

Groundhog Day is a popular tradition in the United States and Canada. If Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow he regards it as an omen of six more weeks of bad weather and returns to his den. Early spring arrives if he does not see his shadow, causing Phil to remain above ground. (Photo by Jeff Swensen/Getty Images)
