Twitter users went wild over the speech, even joking that she should make a run for presidency in 2020.

Her long-time partner Stedman Graham and friend Gayle King told The Los Angeles Times that she would be up for the challenge.

“It's up to the people, she would absolutely do it,” said Stedman.

There were plenty of powerful moments in her Golden Globes speech, but there’s one that’s still ringing in our ears:

“I want all the girls watching to know: A new day is on the horizon. When that new day finally dawns, it will be because of the magnificent women and many of them are in this room tonight.”
