The new "time's up" movement made its debut with actors dressing in all black, standing in solidarity with survivors of sexual harassment. Some of the biggest highlights from the ceremony included Oprah inspiring speech, which led to multiple standing ovations. The media mogul is the first black woman to win the Cecil B. DeMille award for Lifetime Achievement. It was a big night for streaming platforms, including Hulu, Netflix and Amazon were big winners of the night. Hulu's "The Handmaid's Tale" won best TV drama, and star Elisabeth Moss won for Best Actress in a Drama. Amazon's series "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" took home the award for Best TV Comedy or Musical, and Rachel Brosnahan won for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical. Netflix brought home one award that went to Aziz Ansari for his role in "Master of None."
