CECIL B. DEMILLE - Oprah Winfrey

How was the show? Seth Meyers did a decent job as host. His bit where he had women and minorities give the punchline to arguably racist or sexist jokes fell flat, but overall, he navigated the sensitive waters quite well. His "In Memorium" joke about Harvey Weinstein cut deep, especially since they skipped the In Memorium this year. That's usually one of the highlights of the show.

The Globes are usually a zany affair, but it felt like a smug funeral with everyone wearing black. Natalie Portman pointing out the Best Director nominees were all male stepped on Guillermo Del Toro's moment. Oprah Winfrey launched her 2020 presidential campaign with a stirring speech.
