We need so desperately for more like her, and Taraji, and Viola to be given the chance to step forward and be presented with the respect and recognition to use the power of their voice, their words, their stories to have a light cast onto all that's been hidden, and is still being and put away into the dark to pretend as if there isn't many, many issues that need to be addressed and taken care of concerning TRUE equality amongst ALL PEOPLE, but especially for the minorities.

Very impressive orator. It's always darkest before the dawn.

i love how when people clap at certain parts of speeches, other people usually pause and wait for them to finish. oprah just continues talking because she’s just not going to wait for others to hear her speak

NO WORDS. Speechless. She's an icon

Oprah might have been the only person in that room with enough power and enough "Hollywood clout" to give that speech. In other words, it needed to be said, it needed to come from her, and they gave her the pedestal to speak. Was no accidental coincidence.

Thank you Oprah! You are truly legendary! I was a victim of bullying for many years! The feeling of being scared and spoken to disrespectfully was detrimental to my self esteem. I stood up! I am proud to be apart of the movement! It is a work in progress to gain one's confidence back. We need to forward this message on to our generations to come, so that they do not follow in the footsteps of their old school fathers.

She could've used that time to talk about her career and superficial award show things, but what an incredible, meaningful moment she created. I hope it gets a lot more views.

I don't know how many times I've watched this video but it feels like the first time every time n I always watch it at least twice each time. In my lifetime I'll be sure to watch it monthly every year.

One of the most powerful speech ever

Oprah took my breath away re believing women & what it means that "Time is up." Stunning, powerful words. She put the words "Time is Up" in a historical context that demonstrated clearly, succinctly, powerfully, why change is needed. Those who abuse power have gotten away with it for far too long. That dynamic must change. When truth meets inspiration, as it did with Oprah's words, my hope is that minds can be changed, or, that, at the very least, people will begin to not just hear, but listen, and find courage to tell their stories. As more people speak, the truth will be harder to deny.

This will go down as one of the best speeches in history!

You could here a pin drop in that room while she spoke. Not a chair scrape, not a cutlery clutter: silence! Oprah is the Greatest Orator of Living Times! I can’t wait for her to write a book as she’s a voracious reader!

I cry everytime i watch this speech. That is a masterclass in speech making.
