Last night’s Golden Globes was one that will be remembered forever. Celebrities wore black and donned “Times Up” pins and spoke candidly about the sexual assault and abuse that still happens today.
But last night’s show was also groundbreaking because Oprah was the first African-Amerian woman to win the Cecil B. de Mille award. Her acceptance speech was so powerful that people started tweeting that they wanted Oprah to run for president.
“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

Is anyone shocked that Oprah gave a powerful and articulate speech? She’s Oprah! She made her entire living by doing just that.
Just watched @Oprah this am.. and cried. ❤️ https://t.co/7tWiBj6Jxw

I will now officially divide time like this : Everything that happened before @Oprah speech : Everything that will happen after.

Watching an intelligent person give a moving speech has caused a lot of people to declare Oprah for president 2020. Saying someone who isn’t a politician should be president has always been a “thing,” but typically it’s just a declaration of love. But now after having Trump as president, the joke is all too real.
I know this isn’t a position but Oprah needs to be President of the world, not just the United States.

Dear Oprah, run for president please!

If you need me for the next two years I’ll be drafting tweets in support of Oprah’s 2020 presidential campaign

Switched back to the Golden Globes to watch Oprah get her award. Never let it be said that I don’t respect the president of the United States.

#Oprah can straight up make this her first speech announcing that she's running for President in 2020.

Okay, to recap tonight's festivities thus far: Everyone should see Lady Bird and is maybe Oprah president now? #GoldenGlobes

Even though we can hope and dream that one day Oprah would actually be president, it’s very doubtful.
wait, you guys actually want oprah to run for president? like, that's not just something to say for jokes? some of you think that's a good idea?

Oprah doesn’t want to run for President. She’s made that pretty clear…and she’s not being coy, she really doesn’t want to run. She’s got most of the non-governmental powers of a President and none of the hassle.

Earlier this year, @GayleKing said that she would bet her first and second born that @Oprah will never run for President. She used the word "never." pic.twitter.com/OvpYFgyctK

i dig oprah but…as president? say what? 😂
why do americans always want tv/movie stars to be their politicians? i don't want an entertainer running the country man. i'd rather elect a scientist, historian, economist, political scientist…something of that sort.

Oprah is not about to be y’all’s raggedy ass president. She has dogs, a garden with fresh fruits & veggies, BILLIONS of dollars & a Stedman!!! Why on EARTH would she want to govern y’all muhfuckas
— Yung (@YungYinkv) January 8, 2018
We should just take the speech at face value, motivational as hell.

We may never see Oprah in the Oval Office, but we can always count on her to give us the extra push we need.
