The theme of the night was women’s empowerment and equality—appropriate given the Battle of Sexes focal **topic.The famous 1973 match, which King won over Bobby Riggs, sparked gender equality movements throughout the country and helped lead to the creation of the WTA.

Both Stone and King dawned black along with almost everyone else at the Golden Globes as a sign of solidarity with women who have spoken out in the #MeToo, #WhyWeWearBlack and Times Up movements.

While Stone and Carell did not take home any awards on Sunday, Battle of the Sexes has been one of the most successful tennis films of all time.
