Oprah Winfrey blew the roof off the Golden Globes 2018 with an acceptance speech that will no doubt resonate for years to come.
The multi-media maven was awarded the Cecil B. DeMille Award and seized the moment to shine light on the plight of those affected by (and who have spoken up against) sexual harassment and social injustice. Poignant given the current #MeToo and #TimesUp movement sweeping through Hollywood.
Speaking on the matter, she said:
“What I know for sure is that speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have. I’m especially proud and inspired by all the women who have felt strong enough and empowered enough to speak up and share their personal stories.”
Drawing on narratives such as that of Recy Taylor and others, Winfrey earned multiple standing ovations from the capacity crowd.
An expert and inspiring orator, Winfrey wowed like only she can.
The Queen of television has spoken! What a speech ??
It’s was so powerful I cried the hole time. Lol The best thing I took from it was to always tell your truth it’s the most powerful thing we have. We can do anything if we – Follow- Listen & Tell Our Truth! Thanks Oprah ❤️
This! Absolutely breathtaking speech! The level of emotion that she maintained throughout the entire speech! Her poise, her rhythm…her tone…it was poetic! Masterful and truthful! 2018’s first classic moment! ✅
She is purely Iconic. Total “Light”.
She’s an exceptional woman, her story is inspiring.
Exceptional, obsolutely exceptional. Not a pause, not a umm, or a fumble. The words were powerful but I’m just blown away by her delivery. Speaking is truly a gift.
It’s true, some people are so good with words, among women, the speeches of Madonna, Oprah, Viola Davis are always the best, all are very intelligent and self-confident.
Madonna???
This clown said Madonna it’s really astounding that you continue to spew so much horse sh/t day in, and day out..
You can say many things about Madonna but one thing you cannot deny is that she is the smartest among her female counterparts, just watch any interview or speech of her.
Um, Madonna? LMFAO.
This clown said Madonna ?? it’s really astounding that you continue to spew so much horse sh/t day in, and day out.
Look up Madonna’s last speech at her acceptance of her billboard woman of the year award. Y’all can clown all y’all want but that speech was very good.
And can we get a yaaaaaas for Stedman’s eyes? lol, that’s a beautiful man! And he has been the rock for a phenomenal woman! Stedman for First Man and Oprah for President! That’s how I’m feeling!
