Strangely enough, there is also a double standard for best actor or actress Academy Awards. Women usually win after appearing topless, bare ass, practically completely nude, characters stone cold or a bitch, or raunchy. While men just need to transform themselves wearing minor prosthetics, deliver powerful performances, or portray a historic figure.

10 percent of what someone else is earning for the same amount of work is horrendous, considering production costs, and box office returns. Surprised SAG has not fought for equal pay. Motion pictures have been around for little more than 100 years and differences in talent fees of 10 to 1! With the costs of inflation and technological advances in filming equipment. Not to mention corruption in the abuse of young up and coming talent. Casting couches and seedy deals to get big breaks quickly.

Entertainment is a cutthroat industry, but the talented and gifted in their craft out shine the one who did not make shortcut to become successful! Sadly those who compromise theirselves become substance abusers and have to fight back from despair to stay on top. History has shown, which legends had to deal with demons before an early demise. Sometimes those who crave fame, become famous for their tragic deaths.

If she's talking about Les Mis, of course she didn't get paid as much as the men. They were on screen longer than her character. It sounds like instead of whining to EW, she needs to hire a better lawyer or agent to negotiate payment for her.

you actors and actresses get so much money and most of you don't even deserve 10% of the movies worth! Movies in this century have been horrible, especially yours amanda! so stop complaining about not getting paid fairly, all of you don't deserve squat!
