'Nobody Will Ever Have To Say Me Too again': Oprah






'Nobody will ever have to say Me Too again': Oprah reduces Golden Globes stars to tears with 'presidential' speech praising the women AND men leading Tinseltown's fightback from sex abuse scandals

Oprah Winfrey used her Golden Globe lifetime achievement speech to issue a rallying cry as she begged both men and women to do what they could to ensure no one ever has to utter the words 'Me Too' again. 

The actress and businesswoman received a lengthy standing ovation as she accepted the Cecil B. DeMille Award at Sunday's Globes ceremony, before saying how honoured she was to be the first black woman to receive the accolade. The 63-year-old spoke about the feelings she had as a young girl watching Sidney Poitier win the best actor Academy Award in 1964. 'It is not lost on me that, at this moment, there are some little girls watching as I become the first black woman to be given the same award,' Oprah said. 



'It is an honour and it is a privilege to share the evening with all of them. I want all the girls watching that a new day is on the horizon. When that new day finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women and some pretty phenomenal men are fighting hard. These are the leaders who will take us to the time when nobody ever has to say 'Me too' again!' Harvey Weinstein accuser Ashley Judd top right is seen looking on from the crowd. Tracee Ellis Ross looks emotional, bottom right.
