The first major award show of the year kicked off, and we finally know all the Golden Globe winners. Most notably, the movie ones – sorry I mean…we are a film website *jordan shrug*. With more than 20 categories, there’s a pretty good chance you missed who received the top prizes or already forgot about them.

Other Winners:
Seth Meyers (host)-
The Late Night host had the daunting task of emceeing the first big awards show following the plethora of sexual assault stories that have recently troubled Hollywood. With the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements in full force – Meyers addressed many elephants in the room head on, particularly the slew of ongoing harassment allegations. One of my favorite lines of the night came from his opening monologue, “Happy new year, Hollywood! It’s 2018, where marijuana is finally allowed, and sexual harassment finally isn’t.”
Meyers touched on every topic that needed to be discussed – undoubtedly with satire, yes, but every joke and punch-line also had an underlying serious tone. A straight white male would not have been my first or second choice, for that matter, to host last night’s Golden Globes. But you know what… if it had to be a straight white male – I’m glad it was Seth Meyers.
Oprah (goddess)-
In my opinion, this was the highlight of the evening – which caused the audience to give her a standing ovation not once, but twice. While accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Award, Oprah’s nine minute speech emphasizing equality for women and most importantly women of color – was as spellbinding a deliverance as I can remember.
But honestly, lets be fucking real here for a second. Did you truly expect anything less? Would you have expected Oprah Winfrey, in light of all that’s happened, to not use this platform? To not speak about continuous issues that have plagued our society each and every day? Of course you didn’t. I, personally, have learned to expect nothing short of greatness from this near-perfect woman. And although, some of these lofty expectations may not be fair – somehow, someway, she seemingly always exceeds them. “I want all the girls watching here, now, to know that a new day is on the horizon,” she said last night. “And when that new day finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women, many of whom are right here in this room tonight, and some pretty phenomenal men, fighting hard to make sure that they become the leaders who take us to the time when nobody ever has to say ‘Me too’ again,”
Oprah, this isn’t the first time, and it certainly won’t be the last, but, once again… thank you.
