The allegations of sexual harassment against some of the biggest names in Hollywood should make people more watchful about what is going on, believes Hugh Jackman. 
 
&quot;It&#39;s shining a light in a really harsh and humiliating way that on some level everyone&#39;s involved. Everybody is involved ... I think now we all have to go, &#39;Hang on, I need to be more proactive ... 
 
&quot;I think there&#39;s often been, in the kind of way where a friend of yours is cheating on their husband, and you&#39;re like, &#39;I&#39;m not going to say anything about that. This is my friend,&#39; and actually: no. I think we all need to be a little more on guard, watching what&#39;s going on, protecting, and coming up with real practical solutions,&quot; Jackman, 49, told The Times in an interview. 
 
Producer Harvey Weinstein became synonymous with sexual harassment after the New York Times exposed his history of predatory behaviour against women in October last year.

The scandal had a domino effect in Hollywood with many powerful men such as Brett Ratner, James Toback, Kevin Spacey and Jeremy Piven facing similar career-ending accusations.

Gal Gadot delivers strong message for ''misogynist sexists'' in a new video

Hollywood has not been shy in turning its award shows into a politically-charged spectacle to address the issues at hand. 
 
But at the ninth Governors Awards this year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences steered clear of discussing the sexual harassment scandal that continues to rock the industry, according to The Hollywood Reporter. 
 
After multiple allegations of sexual misconduct leveled against media mogul Harvey Weinstein a month ago, newer and more significant names such as James Toback, Kevin Spacey, Dustin Hoffman, Brett Ratner an Louis C K have joined the list and still counting. 
 
Unlike the explosive Golden Globes, Emmys and Tonys, the awards saw the fraternity bestow honorary Oscars on five legends - Donald Sutherland, Agnes Varda, Charles Burnett, Owen Roizman and Alejandro G Inarritu. 
 
Filmmaker Steven Spielberg echoed the sentiment, &quot;Tonight, we all aspire to reach higher. We all aspire to dream bigger tonight - to be greater.&quot; 
 
If at all, actor-director Angelina Jolie hinted at the current controversy as she introduced Varda on the stage. 
 
&quot;We need to draw strength from artists like Agnes. Those women who went first, who took that first step, showed the way for all of us,&quot; she said. 
 
Hoffman, who was accused of sexual harassment by two women, presented the award Roizman, with whom the veteran actor has worked in Tootsie.&nbsp;

Hollywood avoids sex harassment scandals at Governors Awards

Casey Affleck, who won the best actor Oscar this year, has spoken about the sexual harassment allegations against him, saying &quot;everyone deserves to be treated with respect in the workplace and anywhere else&quot;.

The actor was accused of sexual harassment by two female co-workers while making the 2010 mockumentary &quot;I&#39;m Still Here&quot;, which he directed.

<a href="http://www.salon.com/2017/03/01/never-meet-your-heroes-casey-affleck-accepts-his-oscar-while-an-episode-of-girls-addresses-sexual-harassment/" target="_blank">Salon </a>characterises the accusations as ranging from insisting that a female co-worker share his hotel room, to referring to women as &quot;cows&quot;, to retaliating when his sexual advances were rejected.

Amanda White, according to a report by&nbsp;<a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/11/22/casey-affleck-s-dark-secret-the-disturbing-allegations-against-the-oscar-hopeful.html" target="_blank">The Daily Beast</a>, alleged that while working with Affleck&nbsp;on&nbsp;&quot;I&#39;m Still Here&quot;, she was once prevented from returning to her bedroom during shooting because Affleck and his brother-in-law Joaquin Phoenix locked themselves inside, in order to have sex with two women. (At the time, Affleck was then married with two children to Phoenix&#39;s sister, Summer. They have since split up.)

Elle reports that actress, Magdalene Gorka, complained that she woke up in a private room only to find Affleck &quot;curled up next to her in bed wearing only his underwear and a T-shirt&quot;. When she managed to get Affleck&nbsp;out of her room, the report continues, he rallied crew members to harass and bully her until she quit the project.

The Daily Beast reports&nbsp;that&nbsp;Gorka, in a formal complaint, called her experience at the hands of Affleck, &quot;the most traumatizing of her career&quot;. According to the complaint, Gorka continues to suffer from &quot;humiliation, embarassment and emotional distress as a direct result of the harassment and abuse she enduring during the project&quot;. Gorka filed a lawsuit for $2.25 against Affleck.

Speaking to the Boston Globe, Affleck&nbsp;acknowledged the controversy that has dogged his awards-season run. &quot;I believe that any kind of mistreatment of anyone for any reason is unacceptable and abhorrent, and everyone deserves to be treated with respect in the workplace and anywhere else.&quot;

He then responded to the criticism over his Academy Award win. &quot;There&#39;s really nothing I can do about it, other than live my life the way I know I live it and to speak to what my own values are and how I try to live by them all the time,&quot; he said while addressing the people who condemned his win.
