The stories of sexual assault survivors have taken
center stage in multiple ways this awards season. In addition to being
the subject of "The Hunting Ground" and the Gaga-Warren track, it is
also touched on acclaimed movies "Spotlight" and "Room." And it all came
to a head on Oscars Sunday.
The room was already electric when Vice
President Joe Biden stepped onto the Oscars stage Sunday night and gave
an impassioned speech about reducing sexual assault on college campuses.
He then introduced Lady Gaga, who performed a rousing rendition of "Til
It Happens to You," the Oscar-nominated song she and Diane Warren wrote
about sexual assault on college campuses for the Kirby Dick documentary
"The Hunting Ground."http://canmua.net/world/the-moments-that-made-oscars-night-a-milestone-for-782465.html
