  • "The Good Place" actress Jameela Jamil walked the red carpet for the 76th annual Golden Globes on Sunday, which took place at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, California.
  • When she appeared onscreen during E!'s coverage, she was accidentally listed as Kamilah Al-Jamil.
  • Kamilah is the sister of Jamil's character on "The Good Place," Tahani Al-Jamil.
  • Most people thought the misnaming was a clever joke, but an individual with knowledge of the situation told INSIDER it was a mistake.
  • Jamil enjoyed the mistake.

"The Good Place"actress Jameela Jamil walked the red carpet for the 76th annual Golden Globes on Sunday, which took place at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, California. But those watching the coverage on E! who are unfamiliar with her character may have been confused.

When Jamil appeared onscreen during E!'s red carpet coverage, she was listed as Kamilah Al-Jamil.

Kamilah is the sister of Tahani Al-Jamil, Jamil's character on "The Good Place."

Most people thought the misnaming was a clever joke; Tahani is known for being vainglorious and desperate for approval, while her sister Kamilah is successful and widely beloved. The two sisters are constantly in conflict and Tahani struggles with living in her sister's shadow.

But an individual with knowledge of the situation told INSIDER it was a mistake. E!'s Nina Parker reportedly addressed and corrected it on the air.

As many fans of the show pointed out, the misnaming would be Tahani's worst nightmare — which makes the mistake all the more ironic and egregious.

Others, however, were unsure whether it was a mistake borne of lazy research.

Some people were simply confused.

Jamil had a good sense of humor about it.

INSIDER requested comment from E!.

The Golden Globes is airing at 8 p.m. EST tonight on NBC.

This story was updated with Jamil's response.

DOUBLE DOINK: Eagles win Wild Card after Bears kicker's game-winning field goal bounces twice off the goal post

  • The Philadelphia Eagles beat the Chicago Bears, 16-15, in the Wild Card to advance in the playoffs.
  • Bears kicker Cody Parkey missed the go-ahead field goal in the final seconds when the ball hit the upright, then took a bad bounce on the crossbar.

The Philadelphia Eagles beat the Chicago Bears, 16-15, to advance in the Wild Card after Bears kicker Cody Parkey missed the go-ahead field goal in the final seconds.

In a low-scoring affair, Nick Foles led the go-ahead drive in the final minutes, hitting Golden Tate for the go-ahead touchdown to make it 16-15 with one minute to play. Running back Wendell Smallwood was stopped short of the goal line on the two-point conversion.

The Bears took over with less than a minute remaining, needing only to get into field goal range. Tarik Cohen helped their cause with a 35-yard kick return, then Mitch Trubisky made several big throws, including a 25-yard completion to Allen Robinson to get into range.

With ten seconds remaining, the Bears went for the field goal on 4th-and-2. The Eagles iced Parkey on his first attempt (which went through the goal posts). On Parkey's second attempt, he hit the upright, and the ball took a bad bounce on the crossbar and fell out. No good. Eagles win.

The ball might have fallen through the uprights if it had just landed differently on the cross.

Foles and the Eagles' magic continues, as they're through to the second round to play the New Orleans Saints.

Lady Gaga's blue ball gown looks almost exactly like one Judy Garland wore over half a decade ago in 'A Star Is Born'

  • Lady Gaga wore a blue Valentino gown to the 2019 Golden Globes on Sunday.
  • Her statement dress looks a lot like the gown that Judy Garland wore in the "A Star Is Born" movie from 1954.
  • Both dresses expose the shoulders and have a ball-gown silhouette, as well as a voluminous skirt and fitted bodice.   
  • Gaga's dress, which matched with her new hair color, makes a statement of its own as a modern update of the look.

Lady Gaga turned heads as she arrived at the 76th annual Golden Globes, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills on Sunday, wearing a voluminous, powder-blue ball gown.

Gaga's couture Valentino dress is reminiscent of a gown that Judy Garland wore in the "A Star Is Born" movie from over half a century ago.

Lady Gaga Judy Garland

Garland and Gaga both played leading roles in versions of "A Star Is Born." Garland played the role of Vicki Lester in the 1954 movie, while Gaga played Ally opposite Bradley Cooper in the role of Jack, in the 2018 version.

Their dresses may have a slightly different color — Gaga's is a much brighter shade of blue, while Garland's appears to be more of a silvery blue — but have similar details.

Each dress bares the shoulders and has a ball-gown silhouette, as well as a voluminous skirt and fitted bodice. But instead of gathered fabric at the shoulders, as on Garland's dress, Gaga's gown has low, puffy sleeves that fall as far as her wrists — perhaps a modern update of Garland's elbow-length gloves.

It appears to have a much longer train, too.

Their accessories are also slightly different. Although she wore diamond stud earrings like Garland, Gaga wore a Tiffany diamond necklace, and wore delicate bracelets on her wrists.

Like the latest version of "A Star Is Born," Gaga's outfit is a modern take on a classic, and no less worthy of attention.

Ryan Seacrest wore a Time's Up bracelet on the Golden Globes red carpet and Twitter is not having it

  • Ryan Seacrest wore a Time's Up bracelet at the 76th annual Golden Globes at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills on Sunday, and Twitter was angry.
  • Seacrest, accused of sexual misconduct last year, was seen wearing a Time's Up bracelet as he conducted pre-show interviews on the red carpet.
  • Seacrest has persistently denied the allegations made against him, describing them as 'reckless.'

Television host and producer Ryan Seacrest wore a Time's Up bracelet while conducting pre-show interviews at the 76th annual Golden Globes at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills on Sunday.

Seacrest was accused of sexual misconduct by a stylist for E! News in 2017. 

Suzie Hardy worked as Seacrest's stylist for "E! News" from 2006-2014, and in a November 2017 letter to  NBC Universal, her attorneys outlined allegations of harassment and assault, according to Variety.

Seacrest has persistently denied the allegations, describing them as 'reckless.'

People took to Twitter to voice their criticism and outrage of Seacrest's decision to wear the bracelet despite the allegations against him.   

 

During the broadcast, actress Regina King spoke to Seacrest about the Time's Up movement.

 

Many of the acting community's most recognizable stars walked the red carpet wearing brackets and ribbons commemorating Time's Up ribbons in a show of solidarity for the victims of sexual harassment.

 

"Oh wow that’s so funny about how women should be treated fairly in the workplace when Seacrest has been accused of being gross af over a year ago by his makeup artist. , wrote one Twitter user.

While another suggested we're all just ignoring this:

In a letter sent in November of 2017, Hardy's lawyers asked E! to "come up with a plan to address the treatment of all women at the networks and to take responsibility for the wrongful treatment" (of Hardy).

A week later, Seacrest took her allegations public, announcing that E! was investigating a claim of "misconduct" against him without using Hardy's name: "someone that worked as a wardrobe stylist for me nearly a decade ago."

"Total exasperation was my definite feeling when I heard about it,"Hardy told Variety.

She was interviewed three times by an independent investigator, she said. "I felt like by the third interview, it was obvious the investigator was whitewashing it for Seacrest's side."

Seacrest has repeatedly denied her allegations.

Seacrest is also the co-host of "Live with Kelly and Ryan" and the radio show "On Air with Ryan Seacrest," and is head of his own clothing and skincare lines.

Sandra Oh called out 'Aloha' for whitewashing during the Golden Globes and fans are convinced Emma Stone yelled 'I'm Sorry' from the audience

  • Co-host Sandra Oh used the opening monologue at the 2019 Golden Globes Sunday at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills to briefly address whitewashing in Hollywood.
  • Oh knocked both "Ghost in the Shell" and "Aloha," which starred white women in Asian roles. 
  • A woman can be heard yelling out, "I'm sorry!," immediately following the joke.
  • Many believe it was Emma Stone, who controversially played a woman of Asian descent in 2015's "Aloha."

"Killing Eve" star Sandra Oh is co-hosting the 2019 Golden Globes at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills Sunday, and the actress used the opening monologue to make a joke knocking two movies that have whitewashed Asian Americans in Hollywood.

"'Crazy Rich Asians' is nominated tonight for best picture — musical or comedy. It is the first studio film with an Asian American lead since 'Ghost in the Shell' and 'Aloha,'" joked Oh.

Of course, neither of those latter two movies starred Asian American leads. Paramount's "Ghost in the Shell" and Columbia's "Aloha" starred Scarlett Johansson and Emma Stone, respectively, in the roles of women of Asian descent.

Immediately after the joke, a woman could be heard yelling, "I'm sorry!" from the audience.

You can watch the moment below:

In response, Oh put her hands up to her heart.

Fans were instantly convinced it was Emma Stone, who was criticized for playing a woman of Hawaiian and Asian heritage in Cameron Crowe's 2015 movie, "Aloha."

Stone reportedly confirmed to The Times afterwards that it was indeed her who yelled out from the audience. 

"It wasn't like I planned it, but I did say it," said Stone.

Stone has addressed the controversy in 2015 with news.com.au saying she became the "butt of many jokes."

"I’ve learned on a macro level about the insane history of whitewashing in Hollywood and how prevalent the problem truly is. It’s ignited a conversation that’s very important," said Stone of her role in "Aloha."

At the time, she did defend her role as the character named Allison Ng.

"The character was not supposed to look like her background, which was a quarter Hawaiian and a quarter Chinese," Stone added.

NOW WATCH: 6 airline industry secrets that will help you fly like a pro this holiday season


This is how insurance is changing for gig workers and freelancers

This is a preview of a research report from Business Insider Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service. To learn more about Business Insider Intelligence, click here.

Most Commonly Used Platforms bu UK Gig Economy Workers

The gig economy is becoming a core element of the labor market, pushed to the fore by platforms like Uber and Airbnb. Gig economy workers are freelancers, such as journalists who don’t work for one publication directly, freelance developers, drivers on platforms like Uber and Grab, and consumers who rent out their apartments via Airbnb or other home-sharing sites.

Gig economy workers are not employed by these platforms, and therefore typically don't receive conventional employee perks, such as insurance or retirement options. This has created a lucrative opportunity to provide tailored insurance policies for the gig economy. 

A number of insurtech startups — including UK-based Dinghy, which focuses on liability insurance, and US-based Slice, which provides on-demand insurance for a range of areas — have moved to capitalize on this new segment of the labor market. These companies have been busy finding new ways to personalize insurance products by incorporating emerging technologies, including AI and chatbots, to target the gig economy.

In this report, Business Insider Intelligence examines how insurtechs have begun addressing the gig economy, the kinds of policies they are offering, and how incumbents can tap the market themselves. We have opted to focus on three areas of insurance particularly relevant to the gig economy: vehicle insurance, home insurance, and equipment and liability insurance.

While every consumer needs health insurance, there are already a number of insurtechs and incumbent insurers that offer policies for individuals. However, when it comes to insuring work equipment or other utilities for freelancers, it's much more difficult to find suitable coverage. As such, this is the gap in the market where we see the most opportunity to deploy new products.

The companies mentioned in this report are: Airbnb, Deliveroo, Dinghy, Grab, Progressive, Slice, Uber, Urban Jungle, and Zego.

Here are some of the key takeaways from the report:

  • By 2027, the majority of the US workforce will work as freelancers, per Upwork and Freelancer Union, though not all of these workers will take part in the gig economy full time.
  • By personalizing policies for gig economy workers, insurtechs have been able to tap this opportunity early. 
  • A number of other insurtechs, including Slice and UK-based Zego, offer temporary vehicle insurance, which users can switch on and off, depending on when they are working.
  • Slice has also developed a new insurance model that combines traditional home insurance with business coverage for temporary use.
  • Other freelancers like photojournalists need insurance for their camera, for example, a coverage area that Dinghy has tackled.
  • Incumbent insurers have a huge opportunity to leverage their reach and well-known brands to pull in the gig economy and secure a share of this growing segment — and partnering with startups might be the best approach.

 In full, the report:

  • Details what the gig economy landscape looks like in different markets.
  • Explains how different insurtechs are tackling the gig economy with new personalized policies.
  • Highlights possible pain points for incumbents when trying to enter this market.
  • Discusses how incumbents can get a piece of the pie by partnering with startups.

How the 'First Man' composer created the movie's powerful score, which just won a Golden Globe

first man ryan gosling

  • "First Man" won a Golden Globe for best score on Sunday.
  • The movie's composer, Justin Hurwitz ("La La Land"), spoke to Business Insider about the challenges of making one of the best scores of the year.
  • Those challenges included Hurwitz composing with electronic instruments for the first time, and the detail that went into the music played during the thrilling moon landing scene.

 

Coming off two Oscar wins for 2016's "La La Land," composer Justin Hurwitz is back in the award season race with his latest collaboration with director Damien Chazelle, "First Man," which won a best score Golden Globe on Sunday.

The look at the life of Neil Armstrong (played by Ryan Gosling), leading up to his legendary trip to the moon on Apollo 11, received mixed reactions when it opened due its slow-burn feel. But the work of Hurwitz has been universally praised. His mixture of percussion and electronic sound is a far cry from the song-and-dance musical feel of "La La Land," but perfectly accompanies Chazelle's telling of Armstrong's intimate story.

To get the sound right, Hurwitz began work composing the score in preproduction and had to get out of his comfort zone by working with instruments he'd never used before.

Read more: Here are all the Golden Globes 2019 winners

"Damien asked me to figure out ways for the movie to sound very different from any of the other scores that we've done," Hurwitz told Business Insider after the Golden Globes nominations were announced in early December. "He wanted me to learn a lot of electronic. We had never done any kind of electronic music before."

Hurwitz said Chazelle suggested he get his hands on a Theremin, which in the past has given eerie sounds in movies like the 1951 sci-fi classic "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and Alfred Hitchcock's "Spellbound." Hurwitz kept it in his office for months, playing with it constantly, and got so into it that the demos he made with it were used in the movie.

Justin Hurwitz Getty"I thought we would hire the best person who knows how to use it to play it for the movie, but I had laid down cues so many times that by the time we got to the end of the process, Damien just liked the tracks and kept them in," Hurwitz said.

But that wasn't the only first for Hurwitz. He also created his own samples for the score. He said he recorded metal sounds, burning fire, and water running and combined them all into a sample that he used throughout the movie.

"I had never done that before, designing musical sounds," he said. "That was a challenge and exciting to learn."

Music ideas evolved out of preproduction into the shooting. Hurwitz said there would be weekly friends and family screenings in which the music was scrutinized. Over days, weeks, and months the music would change often, sometimes even the instruments were swapped for others. Hurwitz said that it wasn't until post production that the harp was found to be the right choice as a main instrument to use throughout the score. 

The Theremin is also featured in almost every music cue of the movie so it, as Hurwitz put it, "melts" into the score. But it's central during the moon landing scene in the movie, when Hurwitz's score is at its most thrilling.

Read more: The screenwriter of "First Man" spent 4 years researching Neil Armstrong to craft a true-life story even some hardcore space historians didn't know

For that part of the movie, Hurwitz said creating the music was very similar to how he did it on "Whiplash" and "La La Land"— working off of how Chazelle saw it.

The music for the moon landing scene was one of the first things Hurwitz and Chazelle came up with for the movie. After spending a few months figuring out the sound in preproduction, Chazelle took the lead in telling Hurwitz the musical beats.

First Man Daniel McFadden"Damien sees the entire movie in his head before he makes it, down to every single shot," Hurwitz said.""So we created this landing cue based off of his own vision for the sequence. He would say, 'This part needs to grow for 40 seconds, then I want strings to enter and grow for 45 seconds.' He would talk about where exactly the camera would be in those moments. 'It's going to cut out of the craft and be a wide shot of the moon and that's where the melody has to explode, and we'll cut back inside the craft and the music will simmer down.' He was describing to me shot-for-shot what the sequence would be."

Hurwitz then went off and made a demo of the music for the sequence using string, brass, and woodwind instruments that Chazelle used to storyboard the scene. That music was also used to edit the sequence before a full orchestra was brought in to perform the finished piece that would go in the movie. 

The challenges in making "First Man" were what stuck out most for Hurwitz, he said, and he hopes they will continue going forward.

"I love the opportunity to learn new things and I like the idea of every score bringing in a couple of new tools," he said. "It depends on the project, but I like the idea of having an exploratory phase at the beginning where I can study up on some new stuff. I just want to keep evolving each time I do a movie."

The data breach threat isn’t going anywhere — here's how companies are protecting their customers, and themselves

$

dbnew3This is a preview of a research report from Business Insider Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service. To learn more about Business Insider Intelligence, click here.

Over the past five years, the world has seen a seemingly unending series of high-profile data breaches, defined as incidents in which unauthorized parties access and retrieve sensitive, secure, or private data.

Major incidents, like the 2013 Yahoo breach, which impacted all 3 million of the tech giant’s customers, and the more recent Equifax breach, which exposed the information of at least 143 million US adults, has kept this risk, and these threats, at the forefront for both businesses and consumers. And businesses have good reason to be concerned — of organizations breached, 22% lost customers, 29% lost revenue, and 23% lost business opportunities.

This threat isn’t going anywhere. Each of the past five years has seen, on average, 1,704 security incidents, impacting nearly 2 billion records. And hackers could be getting more efficient, using new technological tools to extract more data in fewer breach attempts. That’s making the security threat an industry-agnostic for any business holding sensitive data — at this point, virtually all companies — and therefore a necessity for firms to address proactively and prepare to react to.

The majority of breaches come from the outside, when a malicious actor is usually seeking access to records for financial gain, and tend to leverage malware or other software and hardware-related tools to access records. But they can come internally, as well as from accidents perpetrated by employees, like lost or stolen records or devices.

That means that firms need to have a broad-ranging plan in place, focusing on preventing breaches, detecting them quickly, and resolving and responding to them in the best possible way. That involves understanding protectable assets, ensuring compliance, and training employees, but also protecting data, investing in software to understand what normal and abnormal performance looks like, training employees, and building a response plan to mitigate as much damage as possible when the inevitable does occur.

Business Insider Intelligence, Business Insider’s premium research service, has put together a detailed report on the data breach threat, who and what companies need to protect themselves from, and how they can most effectively do so from a technological and organizational perspective.

Here are some key takeaways from the report:

  • The breach threat isn’t going anywhere. The number of overall breaches isn’t consistent — it soared from 2013 to 2016, but ticked down slightly last year — but hackers might be becoming better at obtaining more records with less work, which magnifies risk.
  • The majority of breaches come from the outside, and leverage software and hardware attacks, like malware, web app attacks, point-of-service (POS) intrusion, and card skimmers.
  • Firms need to build a strong front door to prevent as many breaches as possible, but they also need to develop institutional knowledge to detect a breach quickly, and plan for how to resolve and respond to it in order to limit damage — both financial and subjective — as effectively as possible.

In full, the report:

  • Explains the scope of the breach threat, by industry and year, and identifies the top attacks.
  • Identifies leading perpetrators and causes of breaches.
  • Addresses strategies to cope with the threat in three key areas: prevention, detection, and resolution and response.
  • Issues recommendations from both a technological and organizational perspective in each of these categories so that companies can avoid the fallout that a data breach can bring.

  • Regina King won the 2019 Golden Globe for best supporting actress for "If Beale Street Could Talk."
  • In her speech, the actress addressed people who criticize celebrities for speaking about social issues.
  • She also urged people in power to make a conscious effort to hire a staff with at least 50% women, a pledge she is making on anything she produces. 

Regina King addressed people who criticize celebrities for speaking about equality during a speech at the 2019 Golden Globes Sunday at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills. 

While accepting the Golden Globe award for best supporting actress for "If Beale Street Could Talk," the star spoke about using her platform to help change the industry.

"The reason why we do this is is because we understand our microphones are big, and we are speaking for everyone," she said. 

She also used her platform to urge people in Hollywood and other industries to make a conscious effort to hire more women as part of the Time's Up, Times Two movement, which marks the second year of the Time's Up movement. One of the goals of the movement is to double the number of women in positions where they are underrepresented. 

"I just want to say that I am going to use my platform right now to say in the next two years everything that I produce... I’m making a vow ... to make sure that everything I produce is 50% women," King said.

She added: "I just challenge anyone out there who is in a position of power, not just in our industry but all industries, I challenge you to challenge yourselves and stand with us in solidarity and do the same."

Well, that last probably has never been said in an acceptance speech, but while accepting his Golden Globe for best actor in a musical or comedy for his performance as former vice president Dick Cheney in Adam McKay's "Vice," he felt it was right to thank the devil.

vice"Thank you Satan for giving me inspiration on how to play this role," Bale jokingly said in one of the more entertaining acceptance speeches on Sunday.

He also said that the only reason he got the role was because he can be "absolutely charisma free." Admittedly, his portrayal of Cheney in the unique biopic is as rigid and stiff as most of the footage you probably have seen of the real Cheney — which is why it's so great.

Bale also teased playing another polarizing figure in politics for his next role — "So Mitch McConnel next?," calling out the Kentucky senator.

It's probably a joke, but how he transformed into Cheney for "Vice" anything is possible.

  • Sandra Oh won lead actress in a TV series for "Killing Eve" at the 2019 Golden Globes Sunday at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills Sunday. 
  • The actress took the stage, emotionally thanking her parents in Korean and bowing to them respectfully from the stage.
  • Oh's father bowed back and gave her a standing ovation. Fans loved the sweet moment between the actress and her family who were beaming from the audience.

Sandra Oh is not only co-hosting the 2019 Golden Globes at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills Sunday, she also won an award for best actress in a television series for BBC's excellent "Killing Eve."

"Oh Daddy," Oh emotionally started her speech before thanking writer and executive producer, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and author Luke Jennings, whose novellas inspired the series about an M15 agent. 

The actress then took another moment to single out her parents who were in attendance in a sweet moment.

"Mostly, there are two people here tonight that I am so grateful that they are here with me. I’d like to thank my mother, my father," said Oh before speaking to them in Korean.

Oh's father bowed in return.

Oh did the same from the stage.

Fans not only loved the tender moment on stage, but also gushed over how proud her parents looked at their daughter. Her father gave her a standing ovation.

This was Oh's second Golden Globe win. She previously won a best supporting actress award in 2006 for her role on "Grey's Anatomy." Still, it was a big moment for Oh. The actress told Ellen DeGeneres in 2007 that she is the only sibling in her family who doesn't have a master's degree. 

"It was very, very tough," Oh said on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" of pursuing an acting career in her family. "Because, like, you know, my parents at that time really looked down on the arts. It was hard. It's like one step above, you know, prostitution."

"It's a different thing," she added. "They'd go, what is the social purpose of what you're doing? Because they really instilled in all of us, my sister, my brother, that whatever you have to do has to be good for society. What's the good of being on camera? What are you helping society with?"

This isn't the first time Oh has brought her parents to an awards show.

Oh Junsu, a businessman, and Jeon Young-nam, a biochemist, also attended the 2018 Emmys with their daughter where they won plenty of fans.

How consumers rank Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube on privacy, fake news, content relevance, safety, and sharing (FB, GOOGL, TWTTR, MSFT, SNAP)

  • Digital trust is the confidence people have in a platform to protect their information and provide a safe environment for them to create and engage with content.
  • Business Insider Intelligence surveyed over 1,300 global consumers to evaluate their perception of Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube.
  • Consumers’ Digital Trust rankings differ across security, legitimacy, community, user experience, shareability, and relevance for the six major social networks.

If you feel like “fake news” and spammy social media feeds dominate your Internet experience, you’re not alone. Digital trust, the confidence people have in platforms to protect their information and provide a safe environment to create and engage with content, is in jeopardy.

Digital Trust Rankings 2018

In fact, in a new Business Insider Intelligence survey of more than 1,300 global consumers, over half (54%) said that fake news and scams were "extremely impactful” or “very impactful” on their decision to engage with ads and sponsored content.

For businesses, this distrust has financial ramifications. It’s no longer enough to craft a strong message; brands, marketers, and social platforms need to focus their energy on getting it to consumers in an environment where they are most receptive. When brands reach consumers on platforms that they trust, they enhance their credibility and increase the likelihood of receiving positive audience engagement.

The Digital Trust Report 2018, the latest Enterprise Edge Report from Business Insider Intelligence, compiles this exclusive survey data to analyze consumer perceptions of Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube.

The survey breaks down consumers’ perceptions of social media across six pillars of trust: security, legitimacy, community, user experience, shareability, and relevance. The results? LinkedIn ran away with it.

As the most trusted platform for the second year in a row – and an outlier in the overall survey results – LinkedIn took the top spot for nearly every pillar of trust — and there are a few reasons why:

  • LinkedIn continues to benefit from the professional nature of its community — users on the platform tend to be well behaved and have less personal information at risk, which makes for a more trusting environment.
  • LinkedIn users are likely more selective and mindful about engagement when interacting within their professional network, which may increase trust in its content.
  • Content on LinkedIn is typically published by career-minded individuals and organizations seeking to promote professional interests, and is therefore seen as higher quality than other platforms’. This bodes well for advertisers and publishers to be viewed as forthright, honest, persuasive, and trustworthy.

The Digital Trust Report 2018 illustrates how social platforms have been on a roller coaster ride of data, user privacy, and brand safety scandals since our first installment of the report in 2017.

In full, the report analyzes key changes in rankings from 2017, identifies trends in millennials' behavior on social media, and highlights where these platforms (as well as advertisers) have opportunities to capture their attention.

  • Chrissy Metz was co-hosting a 2019 Golden Globes red carpet event on Facebook Live.
  • Some people on Twitter claimed Metz called Alison Brie a "b----" on the carpet.
  • Metz responded and denied the claim on Twitter. 

Chrissy Metz says she absolutely did not call Alison Brie a "b----" while on the 2019 Golden Globes red carpet at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills Sunday night. 

The "This Is Us" star tweeted in response to reports that said she called the "Glow" star a name during a segment she was co-hosting on Facebook Live.  

"It's terribly unfortunate anyone would think much less run a story that was completely fabricated," she wrote. "I adore Alison and would never say a bad word about her, or anyone! I sure hope she knows my heart."

Video of the segment led some people to believe Metz called Brie a "b----" as the camera cut away from the host.

"Here's Chrissy Metz calling Alison Brie a 'b----,' not knowing her mic is still on," one tweet read.

But other people said the mic cut off before she said anything. 

Brie has yet to respond.

Fiji Water Girl Tony

  • There was a Fiji Water girl handing out drinks at Sunday night's Golden Globe's pre-show event.
  • She was spotted turning up in a few photos. Then a lot of photos.
  • Then she pretty quickly turned into the first meme of 2019. 

As the world settled in to enjoy the glitz and glamour of the 76th annual Golden Globes on Sunday night, something strange happened.

At the first major awards event of the year, with A-listers pouring onto the red carpet, the internet began to notice something unexpected.

Something haunting the red carpet.

A young girl in a blue dress serving Fiji Water - the beverage brand is a backer of the awards show - began to turn up in the background of a few red carpet photographs. 

And a few more.

Then, before the widening eyes of the internet Fiji Water Girl - as she has become known - morphed into the year's first show-stopping meme. 

The internet has been literally upended by what may or may not be some very cunning, strategically placed, highly tweeteble water-carrying.

Either that, or Fiji Water Girl has taught the world a lesson in scorched earth photo bombing.

Scroll down for how the internet has not coped.
