Literally Just A Bunch Of Photos Of Celebs Who Were Mesmerized By Oprah’s Golden Globes Speech

No one needed Reese Witherspoon to explain why everybody loves Oprah Winfrey at the 2018 Golden Globes, but she was able to articulate the joy that the icon brings. And that joy was clear at the Globes as all the women in the room looked adoringly at Oprah during her Cecil B. DeMille award acceptance speech. Oprah is the first black woman to be given this recognition at the Golden Globes, which she discussed the importance of during her speech. She also talked about the day when "nobody ever has to say, 'Me too' again." So was it any wonder that she had every person — particularly the women — in the audience enthralled by her passionate speech?

The Cecil B. DeMille award is given to someone who has made "outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment" and Oprah has certainly done that through her work as a talk show host and in the film industry. And she started out her speech by remembering when she saw Sidney Poitier become the first black man to win Best Actor at the Academy Awards. He also became the first person of color to earn the Cecil B. DeMille award at the Golden Globes in 1982 and 36 years later, Oprah became the first woman of color to get the award.

Beyond this landmark moment, she also moved the audience when she spoke out about injustice and sexual assault. "I want all the girls watching here and now to know that a new day is on the horizon," Oprah said. "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."

And just like if Oprah was back to hosting The Oprah Winfrey Show and offering everyone in the audience a new car, you could feel — and see — the love for Oprah during her speech. Here are some of the female celebrities who were the most enamored with the great and powerful O.

Halle Berry

As of 2018, Halle Berry is the only black woman to have won an Academy Award for Best Actress, so she was understandably on her feet for Oprah.

Leslie Bibb

Bibb was one of the numerous people who got to their feet to clap before Oprah had even left the stage. Her words were just that deserving.

Shirley MacLaine

MacLaine just needed a moment to really absorb the words, but not even taking that moment could stop her from clapping.

Frances McDormand

And, of course, Frances McDormand not only applauded Oprah’s speech, but really seemed to be inspired by the message.

It’s a night that will life in infamy, and a speech that will become legend. Because when Oprah takes a stage, she absolutely crushes it, and there’s no one who can match that level of awesomeness. Just look at these faces as proof.
