While we were almost certain there was no way anyone could top Oprah's impassioned Golden Globes speech on Sunday, Natalie Portman came pretty damn close. After Oprah was honored with the Cecil B. DeMille award, Natalie Portman took the stage alongside Ron Howard to present the award for best director of a motion picture. Not only did Natalie do just that, but she also took the opportunity to call out Hollywood for not recognizing enough female directors, loudly announcing, "And here are the all-male nominees." Naturally, Natalie's move set Twitter ablaze. Here are the best reactions.

Natalie Portman's burn was the only thing that saved the awkward transition from Oprah's incredible speech to the next award. #goldenglobesoprah #TIMESUP #goldenglobes
