Los Angeles - Stars at the Golden Globe
Awards had plenty to say at Sunday's ceremony, not shying away
from addressing the sexual misconduct scandal that has roiled
Hollywood whether in pointed barbs or impassioned speeches.
Below are some key quotes from the event:
SETH MEYERS, HOST:
"We're all here tonight courtesy of the Hollywood Foreign
Press. A string of three words that could not have been better
designed to infuriate our president. Hollywood Foreign Press."
"Time to address the elephant not in the room. Harvey
Weinstein isn't here tonight because, well, I've heard rumors
that he's crazy and difficult to work with. But don't worry,
he'll be back in 20 years when he becomes the first person ever
booed during the 'In Memoriam.'"

OPRAH WINFREY, WINNER OF CECIL B. DEMILLE LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT
AWARD:
"Each of us in this room are celebrated because of the
stories we tell, and this year we became the story. But it's not
just a story affecting the entertainment industry ... I want to
express gratitude to all the women who have endured years of
abuse and assault because they, like my mother, had children to
feed and bills to pay and dreams to pursue."
“I want all of the girls watching here now to know, that a new day is on the horizon.” @Oprah accepts the 2018 Cecil B. de Mille award. #GoldenGlobes pic.twitter.com/hbquC1GBjm

LAURA DERN, WINNER OF BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS FOR TV SERIES "BIG
LITTLE LIES":
"Many of us were taught not to tattle. It was a culture of
silencing, and that was normalized... May we teach our children
that speaking out without the fear of retribution is our
culture's new North Star."
A huge congratulations to @LauraDern! She is awarded with the #GoldenGlobes Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a TV Series or TV Movie award. pic.twitter.com/CTV8mmgIyl

STERLING K. BROWN, WINNER OF BEST ACTOR FOR TV DRAMA "THIS IS
US":
"Dan Fogelman, you wrote a role for a black man, that could
only be played by a black man. And so what I appreciate so much
about this thing is that I've been seen for who I am and being
appreciated for who I am. And it makes it that much more
difficult to dismiss me, or dismiss anybody who looks like me."

tectonic shift in our industry's power structure. Trust me the
women in this room tonight are not here for the food. We are
here for the work."
