Aubrey Plaza has really only ever taken projects that she seems passionate about. But this year she has thrived in Agatha All Along and My Old Ass.

The Reality of Fame: Lessons from Blake Lively's Journey
Over the past century, Hollywood has evolved from a hub for trailblazing women to a male-dominated industry. Given the high-profile cases that have revealed its misogynistic practices, it must address gender inequality. The existing system feeds a cycle of female exclusion and cultivates a toxic culture. In their lawsuit, Blake Lively claims that Justin Baldoni, the actor-director, acted improperly and made disparaging remarks about their 2024 film, It Ends With Us. It was an 80-page complaint that was first believed to be a public relations tactic to promote the movie. Given the high-profile cases that have revealed Hollywood's misogynistic practices, the industry needs to address gender inequality. By exposing misogynistic people and promoting women on and off screen, Hollywood can overcome its lengthy history of discrimination and alienation of women. Let's use Blake Lively's recent accusations to consider the subtleties of a toxic workplace and Hollywood's attitude toward women.
