The recipient of the Cecil B. deMille Lifetime Achievement Award at the Golden Globes often has the tall task of delivering a speech for the ages. With the exception of Oprah Winfrey<\/a> in 2018, most winners will use their acceptance speech time to take a trip down memory lane and cover off the many highlights of their career.<\/p>\n

Today, Jane Fonda<\/a> accepted the inaugural gold statue. An outspoken advocate for many decades, the 83-year-old actor has protested war, violence, discrimination and now our collective inaction when it comes to saving planet Earth. Today, Fonda took a leaf out of Winfrey\u2019s book and used the platform to call for better leadership in Hollywood to ensure all<\/em> stories are told, not just that of white people.<\/p>\n

The subject of her speech took direct aim at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a committee of 87 journalists who are paid to decide who wins such awards. Of the members selected, not one of them is a Black person.<\/p>\n

We have a transcript of the powerful speech here.<\/p>\n
