"We Feel Emboldened": The Inspiring Quotes That Defined the 2018 Golden Globes

History is being made at the Golden Globes this year as celebrities don all-black ensembles to support the "Time's Up" movement. They're standing together in solidarity to protect women against sexual assault and harassment in workplaces of any kind.

Here, the celebrities in their own powerful words.
