Welcome to 2018.
The Golden Gloves awards ceremony held last in Hollywood was a celebration of the burgeoning #MeToo anti-sexual harassment movement. Gone were the colorful gowns of years past on the red carpet; in their place, everyone wore black, men and women alike. “The Handmaid’s Tale” and “Little Big Lies” took home lots of awards and Oprah Winfrey won the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award. Oprah gave rousing, near-campaign-style speech about women’s rights and equal rights, sparking increased talk that she should run for the Presidency. Get the mood and spirit of the event by watching Seth Meyer’s opening monologue (above), easily the most entertaining presentation of the evening. Click here for a complete list of winners.
