2018 Golden Globes

On the evening of Jan. 8 was the 2018 Golden Globes, hosted by comedian Seth Meyers. The night consisted of passionate speeches, award-winning and laughter throughout the night.  Awards were given to actors, actresses and to movie films as well who showed best motion picture or best performances during the movies.

Reese Witherspoon introduced an award to Oprah Winfrey for lifetime achievement and Winfrey gave a speech about her personal reflection and ended with a call to action. The speech covered Winfrey becoming the first black woman to win the award and to raise voices for her fellow actresses.

The talk show host and business mogul won the Cecil B. DeMille Award — essentially a lifetime achievement prize Emily Yahr said delivered, “a truly stirring address to the audience.”

The number one color that was worn on the red carpet was the color black to show the stars were in support of the Time’s Up movement, which is standing in solidarity with the victims of sexual assault and harassments.

I’m wearing black to, to stand in solidarity with my sisters all over the globe and I’m here to celebrate the rollout of this incredible initiative Time’s Up,” Actress Debra Messing said. “We want diversity, we want intersectional gender parity, equal pay. I was so shocked to hear that E! doesn’t believe in paying their female co-hosts the same as their male co-hosts. I miss Cat Sadler. So we stand with her. That’s something that can change tomorrow you know, we want people to start having this conversation that women are just as valuable as men.”
