Every year, the Golden Globes give out the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award, named for one of the founding fathers of cinema. This year, that recipient was Oprah Winfrey, and as Seth Meyers said at the top of the evening, Mr. DeMille was honored. But even Mr. DeMille could not have imagined the kind of barnburner speech that Oprah gave, or the reactions on twitter to Oprah's speech when she was done.
Usually these speeches, especially when given by old self important white men, are five minute bathroom breaks, the time when we run down for dinner, or for extra snacks, or a refill on drinks. Not this evening. Oprah would have our attention. And Twitter was here for it. Especially after Seth Meyer's joke earlier trying to encourage her to run from president. This was the type of speech that needed to end with "Vote for me in 2020."
Some quotes were just too good not to retweet.
Here's an article on the women Oprah spoke about in her speech:

Political pundits were impressed. Check out Obama's speechwriter, David Axelrod:
This kind of inspiration was exactly what twitter was looking for.
For others, this was therapy, without having to pay $250 for a 50 minute hour.
