Summary: We show that the dualizing sheaves of reduced simple normal crossings pairs have a canonical weight ltration in a compatible way with the one on the corresponding mixed Hodge modules by calculating the extension classes between the dualizing sheaves of smooth varieties. Using the weight spectral sequence of mixed Hodge modules, we then reduce the semipositivity theorem for the higher direct images of dualizing sheaves to the smooth case where the assertion is well known. This may be used to simplify some constructions in a recent paper of \textit{Y. Kawamata} [Compos. Math. 43, 253--276 (1981; Zbl 0471.14022)]. We also give a simple proof of the semipositivity theorem for admissible variations of mixed Hodge structure in [\textit{O. Fujino} and \textit{T. Fujisawa}, Publ. Res. Inst. Math. Sci. 50, No. 4, 589--661 (2014; Zbl 1305.14004)] by using the theories of Cattani, Kaplan, Schmid, Steenbrink, and Zucker. This generalizes Kawamata's classical result in the pure case.
