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 deserve the same respect. We have an instinct about how to treat our fellow human beings."
