Michelle Williams' speech at the 2019 Emmys had audiences applauding in the room and Watch Class of Lies Onlineat home, and she went on to explain why and how she brought up gender equality and equity on FX's Fosse/Verdon.
In a backstage interview, Williams was asked specifically about her experience on 2017's All the Money in the World, for which she was paid roughly one-eighth of costar Mark Wahlberg's paycheck for reshoots.
"The discrepancy in All the Money in the Worldwas so huge that it really illustrated a larger point not just for myself, obviously, but as I've said before: if it was this difficult for me, a white woman in a privileged industry, how difficult is it for women of color across all industries?" Williams told reporters.
Williams said that All the Money in the World"woke me up" regarding how she never felt long term financially security, even with constant work and accolades.
"While tonight is a kind of fairy tale ending for me and for my own personal story, there really won't be any satisfaction for me until the larger message is heard," Williams added.
In accepting her award for Lead Actress in a Limited Series, Williams thanked the Fosse/Verdonteam for their respect and compassion.
