Actors and actresses tackling the issue of sexual harassment against women took center stage during the 75<sup>th Golden Globes. A number of stars tackled the issue with meaningful messages, words of appreciations, and even humorous statements.
Most of the attendees of the awarding event were wearing all black in support for the movement to stop sexual abuse in the entertainment industry. Many male stars were also wearing a "Time's Up" pin in support for the campaign.
The host of the event himself Seth Meyers took part in addressing the issue with a couple of funny statements. "Good evening ladies and remaining gentlemen... It's 2018 marijuana is finally allowed and sexual harassment finally isn't," Meyers uttered. Meyers added a couple more levity, "For the male nominees in the room tonight this is the first time in three months it won't be terrifying to hear your name read out loud."
One of the most powerful messages of the night came from the recipient of the Cecil B. deMille Award, world-renowned talk show host and a women advocate Oprah Winfrey. "Time's Up" head Reese Witherspoon presented the award and welcomed Oprah with a hug on stage. Everyone in the room was either smiling, screaming, or crying tears of joy when Oprah took the spotlight.
Oprah's acceptance speech includes a message for all the women who were victimized by sexual abuse not only in the entertainment industry but in other workplaces as well. "So I want all the girls watching here now to know that a new day is on the horizon. 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."
Other stars like Witherspoon, Gary Oldman, Claire Foy, Frances McDormand, Emma Watson, and more also addressed the issue.
