Oprah Winfrey Accepts Cecil B. DeMille Award at 2018 Golden Globes with Impassioned Speech
The 63-year-old actress and media mogul received the 2018 Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award at Sunday’s ceremony, an honorary award bestowed by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment.
“It is not lost on me that, at this moment, there is some little girl watching as I become the first Black woman to be given the same award,” Winfrey said in a moving acceptance speech, after recalling her own childhood watching Sidney Poitier win an Oscar. “It is an honor and it is a privilege to share the evening with all of them.”
The speech was met with several standing ovations, with the crowd erupting in a boisterous applause when Winfrey assured sexual predators that their “time is up.”
“I want all the girls watching to know a new day is on the horizon,” she continued. “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 they are the leaders to take us to the time where nobody has to say ‘me too’ again.”
The speech came as many stars wore black to the award show to oppose sexual harassment in Hollywood.
“This year, we became the story. But it’s not just a story affecting the entertainment industry, it’s one that transcends any culture, or workplace,” Winfrey said.
Reese Witherspoon presented the mogul with an impassioned speech of her own, calling Winfrey’s hugs “the greatest thing ever.” And showering the star with “thank yous.”

Bex Lindsey Drops Her Heart-Hitting Holiday Single “not ready for christmas” — Out Today
Bex Lindsey isn’t sugar-coating the holidays this year—she’s cracking them open. Her brand-new single “not ready for christmas” is officially out today, and it hits with the kind of honesty most people only admit to themselves at 2 a.m. in the glow of a half-lit tree.
Instead of the usual sleigh bells and saccharine cheer, Bex leans into the raw, messy, beautifully human side of the season: the loneliness, the nostalgia, the heartbreak that refuses to stay quiet just because the calendar says be merry. It’s vulnerable, cinematic, and painfully relatable in a way only Bex can pull off.
Her vocals are warm but wounded, gliding over production that blends indie-pop shimmer with a bittersweet holiday bite. It’s the kind of song that sneaks up on you—soft at first, then suddenly lodged in your chest.
“not ready christmas” marks another bold moment in Bex Lindsey’s rising career. With The Process II earning love across indie music circles and her recent singles building serious momentum, Bex is proving she’s not just evolving—she’s leveling up. This release shows a deeper emotional range and a willingness to say what so many people feel but never say out loud.
The holidays can be complicated. Bex Lindsey just gave that feeling its own soundtrack.
“not ready for christmas” is available everywhere now.
