 She said, "I want all the girls watching to know a new day is on the horizon. 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 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."

It was noticed at the prestigious ceremony that many stars wore black to the award show to oppose sexual harassment in Hollywood. Oprah continued saying;
