After the Golden Globes, Where Do Awards Shows Go From Here?
The Golden Globes just changed what's possible when it comes to award shows taking on political and social issues. Racked's Elana Fishman joins Cheddar to recap the most buzz-worthy stories coming off the red carpet. She breaks down the success of the Time's Up movement's all-black wardrobe.
The entertainment editor says actresses were still able to find moments of self-expression in their outfits despite the monochromatic look. She also gives her take on how she thinks the men of Hollywood handled the big night. While she credits them for wearing lapel pins, Fishman says actors could have done more to vocally support their female counterparts.
Finally, we discuss Debra Messing's leading the charge of criticizing E!'s gender pay gap live on the network's own air. Messing was joined by Eva Longoria in directly confronting E! talent about Catt Sadler's wage controversy. Fishman explains how she thinks Ryan Seacrest and Giuliana Rancic handled the firestorm.

The Department of Justice is suing Texas over the state's new abortion law that prohibits abortions after six weeks, well before many women even know they're pregnant. The lawsuit argues the law is unconstitutional under long-standing Supreme Court precedent. It was filed last week in federal court in Texas, but could go all the way to the high court within weeks. Josh Blackman, a constitutional law professor at South Texas College of Law Houston, discusses the DOJ lawsuit and what it could mean for other abortion laws across the country.
The Biden Administration has officially extended a ban on a Trump-era policy that prohibits traveling with a U.S. passport to North Korea. The extension is expected to last until August 2022. The ban was initially enforced after the death of Otto Warmbier, who entered a vegetative state while in North Korean custody. Advocates against the ban argue that it has caused crippling impacts on Korean Americans who have not been able to reunite with their families back home. Senior Fellow at The Foundation For Defense of Democracies Anthony Ruggiero joined Cheddar's News Wrap to discuss more.
