Zendaya, Mindy Kaling, Nicole Kidman & Our 2019 ELLE Women In Hollywood Get Candid |

What is Hollywood like with women in control? What does television and cinema look like when intersectionality is at the forefront, and a wider scope of womanhood is represented within those narratives? In celebration of our annual Women in Hollywood issue, ELLE asks our 2019 honorees - Zendaya, Nicole Kidman, Mindy Kaling, Natalie Portman, Lena Waithe, Melinda Matsoukas, Jodie Turner-Smith, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Scarlett Johansson - what power means to women on, off, and behind the screen.

I love this video. I love zendaya, but I feel like Elle did these other women dirty by putting a lot of focus on zendaya by putting her on the thumbnail. I get it. We see zendaya, we click. But all of these women are amazing and deserve to be spotlighted in the thumbnail

Scarlett doesn’t fit here. The video talks about intersectionality and she feels entitled enough to play an Asian person or a tree 😂
