Inspiring Moments From The Golden Globe Awards

Hollywood’s elite came out in style at the 2018 Golden Globe awards last night, and our entertainment heroes did not disappoint in any regard. While the traditional evening was filled with beautiful faces, sharply dressed celebrities, and awkwardly timed acceptance speeches, people are talking about something different today.

In the wake of the rise in women’s rights movements and the #MeToo global initiative, many female celebrities took the award show as a opportunity to speak out, inspire, and lead a generation of women into the future.

Here are some of the most inspiring moments that made us smile 🙂
