*The Golden Globes will resemble a funeral this Sunday, as dozens of women have chosen to wear black dresses to protest the epidemic of sexual harassment.

Nominee Mary J. Blige will be among them.

“I am one of those women, so, you know, I don’t want to go into detail about that and I haven’t, but I am, and I stand with those women. I champion them,” Blige told Billboard Tuesday at the Palm Springs International Film Festival awards.

Gal Gadot, Saoirse Ronan and Allison Janney also said they will dress in black at Sunday’s ceremony, after all four voiced their support for a new initiative, Time’s Up, that’s aimed at supporting women who bring complaints.

Blige, who earned a Globe nomination for her supporting role in “Mudbound,” said the Time’s Up campaign and the wear-black protest are important “because there’s so many women that don’t get a chance to speak in other industries that are not the film industry, the music industry. It’s important for us to stand up for them so they can get a chance to speak.”
