Nicole Kidman says people now need to support Donald Trump.

“He’s now elected and we as a country need to support whoever is president because that’s what the country’s based on,” the actress told BBC in [an interview](http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04p04r8) that aired this week. “However that happened, he’s there, and let’s go.”

Kidman is a dual Australian-American citizen.

In contrast to Kidman, TIME editor-at-large David Von Drehle [wrote in the new issue of TIME](http://time.com/4632656/movie-stars-speak-through-art/?iid=sr-link1) of the dangers of celebrities using their platform to speak out against the president-elect, as actress [Meryl Streep did at the Golden Globes](http://time.com/4628147/read-meryl-streeps-powerful-golden-globes-speech/) last weekend.

“Prior to Streep’s speech, newscasts had been buzzing with genuine issues,” Von Drehle said. “What was the nature of [Russia’s election meddling](http://time.com/4600177/election-hack-russia-hillary-clinton-donald-trump/)? Would Trump’s Cabinet choices bother to complete the customary ethics disclosures? What would the Republicans offer to replace Obamacare?

“Now the country was debating Trump’s qualifications as a movie critic,” he added. “Whatever Streep’s intentions may have been, her words enabled Trump—and us—to indulge in yet another distraction.”


## Transcript

During this year's Women in Film Crystal and Lucy Awards, some of the biggest and brightest stars in Hollywood gathered to honor women in the entertainment industry. But before the awards ceremony got under way, Nicole Kidman spoke on the red carpet about some of the injustices that come with being a women in Hollywood. Obviously we need to create more opportunities. It's not an even playing field. Then we question our innate sense of confidence. Kidman's critique of the industry was echoed by other major Hollywood players in attendance. Women in Film is a vital organization. It's a place that says Hollywood is for you even though Hollywood, What says to us, we're really not for you.

So I hope one day it won't need to exist anymore, because it'll be an even playing field. Back in 2013, the New York Film Academy took on this very topic, Gender Inequality in Hollywood. it's telling results were published in this infographic which says among other things 30 % of speaking characters in film are women. Only 10 percent of movies feature a balanced cast of men and women. And the third of female speaking characters are shown in revealing attire. Yet another study on women in entertainment found that in 2014, 93 % of films had no female directors. But despite the troubling stats, one could argue that 2015 has been a great year for women in film.

Want to get through this. Go. [ MUSIC ] Along with being one of the most critically acclaimed films of the year, Mad Max Fury Road is also being held as one of the best Female- driven action movies ever. You going to cry? I'm not going to cry. You're crying now! I'm not. In comedy, Melissa McCarthy's Spy and Anna Kendrick's Pitch Perfect 2 are two more global releases that star women and have done very well at the box office. Kidman was presented with the Crystal Award during the Women in Film award show. The Crystal Award is given to those who have helped expand the role of women within the entertainment industry.
