Oprah Winfrey receives lifetime Golden Globe
Oprah Winfrey was awarded the Golden Globes’ annual Cecil B. DeMille award for lifetime achievement at the glitzy ceremony on Sunday.
She becomes the first African American woman to receive the honour since it was first handed out in 1952, joins the likes of Meryl Streep, Steven Spielberg, Barbra Streisand and Sophia Loren.
In her powerful acceptance speech, Oprah declared that “a new day is on the horizon” for women, and predicted a time when they won’t have to say “Me too” ever again.
