Oprah Winfrey’s acceptance speech for the Cecil B. de Mille Award earned a standing ovation not only from the attendees at the 2018 Golden Globes, but from the internet as well. Her powerful words on the #MeToo movement and recognition for Recy Taylor, who passed away in late December, left watchers moved.
This morning, the hashtags #Oprah and #GoldenGlobes took over Twitter after Oprah’s video went viral. Here are just some of the tweets that outpoured after Oprah took center stage last night:
I will now officially divide time like this : Everything that happened before @Oprah speech : Everything that will happen after. tweet

If you live under a rock, or like me were on a plane w/no wifi, and missed this @Oprah speech at @goldenglobes last night, watch it. If you did see it last night, watch it again. It is unifying, empowering, and inspirational. It’s ok to say, “Amen”. https://t.co/ZDWEFpmtR3 tweet

Among the most important takeaways from @Oprah’s Golden Globes speech—is the need for men to LISTEN. tweet
Women are perfectly capable of speaking—Men desperately need to work on listening. tweet
Here’s to a future where men realize why God gave us 2 ears but only 1 mouth.#TimesUp tweet

Women and girls all over the world must know that we are all here to help them. We are a family of supporters and I hope that those who have stories to tell will now have the confidence and courage to speak up! #GoldenGlobes https://t.co/7b9pPAnr9D tweet
