Oprah's Golden Globes Speech Calls For 'New Day' And A Hint To 2020?
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) -- Her acceptance speech for the Cecil B. DeMille award at the 75th Golden Globes had Oprah Winfrey nostalgic and fiercely protective of the free press.
She also talked a lot about inspiring young women to achieve.
Without mentioning President Trump by name, she talked about a "new day" in Hollywood with women being empowered. Her comments could have easily translated to life in America.
The Twitter-verse blew up with many celebrities believing Oprah was sounding more like a politician on the stump with an eye on the White House in the next election.
Let me tell you this room is still vibrating like electricity from that speech. #OPRAH #micdrop #TimesUp #MeToo #GoldenGlobes

Time to move out of moms basement guys.

Seeing a lot of horror/sneering re Oprah 2020, and look, I'm no expert on what makes a good president. But a good *candidate* is someone who can tell a story.

Let @Oprah snatch your entire soul. But after she does, my question remains: Why did it take such calamity and horrific abuse for women to be valued? https://t.co/DRKn0ZkHge

"A new day is on the horizon, and when that new day finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women and some pretty phenomenal men fighting hard to make sure they become the leaders that take us to the time when nobody ever has to say #MeToo again." —@Oprah ✊????

Dear Oprah, run for president please!

Will Oprah run for president? Can she be persuaded that her country needs her? I firmly believe she would be humble, patient, wise, eager to learn and she would surround herself with a brilliant cabinet. It would truly be "Happy Days Are Here Again."
