Hollywood reacts to Brett Kavanaugh's U.S. Supreme Court confirmation

Ellen DeGeneres,Jim CarreyandTime's Up are among those reacting to the U.S. Supreme Court confirmation of Brett Kavanaughon Saturday.

Time's Up, a movement to helpvictims of workplace sexual harassmentcreated by women in Hollywood after allegations of misconduct against Harvey Weinstein and others, also posted a statement on Twitter following the decision.

"This chapter in our history book will not be the story of men who believed men, that's old news," the official Time's Up account posted in a series of tweets."It will be the story of an avalanche of women who spoke truths and seized our power."

Talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres, who rarely gets political on social media, addressed a message to Christine BlaseyFord. Ford testifiedlast week before the Senate Judiciary Committee that she had been sexually assaulted by Kavanaughwhen they were teenagers. Kavanaughdenied any wrongdoing.

"You started a movement and we'll see it through," DeGeneresposted on Twitter Saturday. "If they won't listen to our voices, then they'll listen to our vote."

Canadian-born actor Jim Carreyreferred to Ford's testimony as "Real American heroism."

The 50-48 senate vote marked the end of a bitter, high-profile battle between Democrats and Republicans.

White House Down actor James Woods, a Republican known for sharing his right-wingviews and staunch support of Donald Trump online, returned to Twitter after being locked out of his account by the social media company for refusing to delete a tweet it had flagged.

After expressing support for Kavanaugh, he posted: "Now what Republicans must do is support those still marginalized by a history of oppression and neglect."

Debate over the nomination triggered a protest Thursday in Washington, D.C. at the U.S. Senate building. Comedian Amy Schumer and model-actress Emily Ratajkowskiwere among those who participated.
