Gal Gadot in 2020? Maybe, Based on This Speech...
Really, Oprah Winfrey in 2020?
Please.
That opinion is SO a few days ago.
On the heels of her powerful speech at the Critics Choice Awards in Santa Monica on Thursday night, we"re pretty sure the public has now moved on to another candidate…
…Gal Gadot!
The Wonder Woman star was honored with the #SeeHer prize at the event for “pushing boundaries” and “changing stereotypes” while portraying a character on the big screen.
She was introduced by her Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins and then blew all viewers away by talking about the parallels between the world of her superhero character and the role of an actor.
To wit:
“As artists, and as filmmakers, I believe it’s not only our job to entertain, but our duty to inspire and educate for love and respect,” she said.
And then she continued, picking up momentum:
“In the past weeks and months, we’ve been witnessing a movement in our industry and society, and I want to share this award with all the women and men who stand for what’s right:
"Standing for those who can’t stand or speak for themselves.
"My promise and commitment to all of you is that I will never be silenced, and we will continue to band together to make strides, uniting for equality.”
Gadot has been very outspoken when it comes to the #MeToo movement.
She reportedly refused to film Wonder Woman 2 until Brett Ratner was removed from the project, following accusations of misconduct against the producer.
“Although this is progress, there is still a long way to go," Gadot also said yesterday, vowing she “will never be silenced" and concluding:
"We will continue to band together to make strides uniting for equality."
Amen, right?
This speech came during the same week that Oprah also went viral for earning many standing ovations during her time on stage at the Golden Globes Awards.

Oprah/Gadot in 2020?!?

Gal Gadot: Making 46 Times Less than Henry Cavill?!
Did you guys read that viral story about Gal Gadot getting paid only $ 300,000 for Wonder Woman while Henry Cavill took home $ 14 million for his debut as Superman?
It sounds outrageous!
But if that numerical discrepancy sounds a little beyond belief, that’s because the story is pretty misleading.
The gender pay gap is a very real thing, but people citing these specific numbers for Gal Gadot and Henry Cavill don’t necessarily have the whole story.
Wonder Woman was a great film, even though it had a silly controversy attached to it.
Man of Steel … was not good. Parts of it didn’t make sense, and it seemed like a betrayal of Superman’s character.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was also bad. Famously so.
Both of those bad films, however, raked in huge numbers at the box office. So has (and is) Wonder Woman, of course.
There’s no telling the quality that Justice League is going to have, but you can bet that it’s going to do well financially.
How much those stars are paid really matters.
First of all, Gal Gadot’s $ 300,000 is a base pay for each DC film that she’s done so far.
We don’t know exactly what Henry Cavill’s base pay is, but Vanity Fair was able to confirm that no, Henry Cavill did not make $ 14 million for just one picture.
When we’re talking about Henry Cavill’s numbers, we need to keep in mind that we’re looking at his base pay for multiple films, plus bonus checks that he’s received for doing well at the box office.
We don’t know what his base pay is, just like we don’t know what sorts of bonuses Gal Gadot is looking at for Wonder Woman‘s success (or the success of Dawn of Justice, for that matter).
The grim reality is that Gal Gadot’s deal with Warner Bros stands a strong chance of not being as lucrative as Henry Cavill’s.
Even though her movie was praised by critics, and even though her Wonder Woman is more in character than Cavill’s inexplicably grimdark fisherman (though, to be fair, that’s not his choice).
Because the gender pay gap is real.
But “less” doesn’t mean “only making about 2% of what he is per film,” because that would be mind-blowing.
Hopefully, since this story is so intensely viral, someone will the actual numbers will come out with them soon.
It’s worth noting that the first Avengers movie had a massive pay gap between Robert Downey Jr. and nearly every other cast member, including Scarlett Johansson.
But that’s, you know, Robert Downey Jr.
A lot of people pointed out this similar pay gap when the Gal Gadot story started circulating, but that’s a situation where one actor’s status is just ludicrously higher than others (for reasons that we only kind of understand).
Before playing Superman, Henry Cavill wasn’t already a household name who’d been in the news for decades.
So while we don’t expect whatever numbers come out of this story to make us smile, we hope that they won’t make us want to riot.
Remember to look carefully at viral stories, folks.
