The top #TimesUp tweet came from Justin Timberlake, though the majority of the response was negative, as he recently starred in a Woody Allen movie and owns a restaurant that was slapped with a sexual harassment lawsuit. James Franco and his pin were also trending, for similar reasons.
Other celebrities were buzzing on Twitter for far more positive reasons, including Emma Watson. The Harry Potter star brought Marai Larasi, director of the feminist organization Imkaan, which works to end violence against black women and girls, as her date for the evening.

Unsurprisingly, Oprah delivered the most powerful Twitter moment of the evening with her acceptance speech, after becoming the first black woman to receive the Cecil B.
