Winfrey brought up a series of tweets posted before the Golden Globes by Dylan Farrow, who questioned whether time really was up for men who have abused their power (in 2014, Woody Allen received the Cecil B. Demille Award, which Oprah received this year). Is time really up?

"We're humans; we're allhumans," said Natalie Portman. "And I think it's treating people as fellow humans …it's not because you have a daughter that you respect a woman, it's not because you have a wife or a sister, it's because we're human beings, whether we're related to a man or not. We deserve the same respect. We have an instinct about how to treat our fellow human beings."
