The red carpet of the event soon turned into a sea of black when women actors flaunted themselves in black attires.
Men actors too were dressed in black, sharing solidarity with the victims of the sexual harassment.
The protest has once again reminded the #MeToo campaign which was launched on social media in the wake of the reports of sexual harassment of actresses by powerful Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.
American actress Alyssa Milano, on Oct 15, wrote a post on Twitter and asked her followers to retweet it with a reply 'me too' if they were sexually harassed or assaulted , to imply the "magnitude of the problem".
The urge to retweet by Milano hds sparked the hashtag as several women started to write on social networking sites #MeToo and some of them even shared their own experiences.
