While the rest of America quietly salivates over the phrase “President Winfrey,” Oprah herself is keeping busy with Hollywood’s Time’s Up campaign and the fighting for women’s equality in every workplace. Oprah spoke with some of Hollywood’s most powerful women after the Golden Globes about how best to champion women.

“How do we as a society have a mature, nuanced conversation about how men and women should be relating to each other?” Winfrey asked her colleagues on CBS Sunday Morning, which will air this Sunday. “Because there’s so many men and women now who are uncomfortable in their workplaces because of all that’s been uncovered and aren’t just really sure how to be. What do we say to them?” Read more…

Here’s the thing Oprah really needs to consider if she wants to run for president

Talk of Oprah running for president in 2020 is ratcheting up, thanks to her powerful speech at the Golden Globes. Of course, that means the inevitable backlash is here too. 

But if the media mogul has the fire in the belly required to run for president, she should run — and nothing anyone writes should dissuade her. 

If she is truly prepared for the thankless slog of the Democratic primary process — endless corn dogs at Iowa cookouts, walking from house to house through the freezing slush of New Hampshire in January, being grilled with gotcha questions on foreign policy by newspaper boards and talk radio hosts coast to coast — then she’s ready.

‘She would absolutely do it’: Stedman Graham fuels hopes for Oprah’s unlikely presidential run

Could Oprah Winfrey have just made the first speech of her political career? Not at all, but we can dream.

That’s what many people have decided on Twitter anyway, and Winfrey’s longtime partner Stedman Graham played along with their hopes.

This has all stemmed from Winfrey’s extremely moving speech upon accepting the Cecil B. DeMille award at this year’s Golden Globes. And while she didn’t explicitly say that she would run for president in 2020, many people are still pretty keen for her to do so. Read more…

The 6 best moments of the Golden Globes (obviously including Oprah)

It was bound to be a tense Golden Globes night in Hollywood after months charged with allegations of sexual misconduct and gender inequality – and perhaps for the better, Sunday’s awards ceremony steered more toward tame. This was a night about toppling the patriarchy, and the presenters and nominees either stuck to that or sat back and let others do the talking.

In addition to all the excellent Time’s Up talk, below were the other highlights of the evening. 

1. Sterling K. Brown’s speech

Brown has given a few stirring awards show acceptance speeches by now, and he delivered a tight, stirring response to yet another This Is Us win.  Read more…

Oprah’s Golden Globes speech has us all begging her to run for president

We knew Sunday’s Golden Globes would be an emotional affair, but we didn’t expect it to kick off Oprah’s political career.

Now, to be fair, when Oprah Winfrey gave her extremely moving speech upon accepting the Cecil B.  DeMille award, she didn’t explicitly say that she would run for president in 2020. But as she imparted hope, wisdom, and the promise of a brighter future, that didn’t stop many people from wishing she would. 

Actually, scratch that. Many people just decided to believe that she’s running and leaving it at that. 

And who can blame them.

Will 2018 save us all from doom? If not, it’s making a hell of a promise, with movie fare in store like Black Panther, Infinity War, and Ava DuVernay’s A Wrinkle In Time. 

A Wrinkle in Time graced the cover of Time (haha, get it) in honor of its 2018 preview, and the dramatic portrait of Storm Reid, Reese Witherspoon, Oprah Winfrey, and Mindy Kaling had fans online nothing short of shook. 

The cover story explains Wrinkle‘s long journey to the screen, an achievement made possible by DuVernay, producer Catherine Hand, and screenwriter Jennifer Lee, among others – like that cast. Read more…
