Didn't get a chance to tune into the 75th Golden Globes? You missed out on a sea of black attire, an assertion that sexual harassment and inequality is no longer welcomed in Hollywood; inspirational speeches from entertaining elites; plenty of digs against what’s touted as a male-focused industry; and the occasional pity chuckle to make the night’s host, Seth Meyers, feel accomplished.

Arguably the best and definitely most memorable moment of the evening goes to the presentation of the Cecil B. DeMille award, which was graciously handed off to actress, producer, former talk-show host, and philanthropist Oprah Winfrey. In a speech that reached out to the hard-working women and underprivileged girls of the world, Winfrey called out the history of racial and gender inequality not just in Hollywood, but in the United States.
Oprah framed her speech around the tragic story of Recy Taylor, an African-American woman that was abducted and raped on the way home from church one day. “She lived as we all have lived, too many years in a culture broken by brutally powerful men,” Oprah addressed her peers. “For too long, women have not been heard or believed if they dare speak the truth to the power of those men. But their time is up. Their time is up.”
The standing ovation that followed was difficult to top, though moments like Natalie Portman’s quip on the all-male Best Director category, Guillermo del Toro’s silencing of the orchestra, and James Franco’s shunning of Tommy Wiseau highlighted the atypical ceremony. Gender inequality threatened to take the focus off of the numerous awards doled out, but, as can be expected, the show still went on.
