 The 74th annual Golden Globe Awards had one big winner this year — "La La Land." 
 
 The musical led the Globes' feature film awards with seven nominations, and then won every single one of them, including Best Actor and Best Actress honors for its stars, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling —breaking the Golden Globes record for most awards won by one film. 
 
 Here were some of the evening's biggest moments. 
 
 An epic opening number

 Jimmy Fallon kicked off the night's ceremony, broadcast live from the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel, with a pre-taped star-studded musical sequence that spoofed the opening of "La La Land." 
 
 Fallon was joined by his fellow "Saturday Night Live" alum Tina Fey, his pal Justin Timberlake and many of the night's nominees including Ryan Reynolds, Nicole Kidman, Sarah Paulson, Amy Adams, John Travolta and the "Stranger Things" kids (including Barb!) in the dazzling musical intro. 
 
 The number, which found the Hollywood A-listers breaking out in song and dance also found Fallon and Timberlake romantically slow-dancing together. 
 
 It was the 42-year-old "Tonight Show" host's first time emceeing the famously fun ceremony, which honors the best in film and television, as chosen by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. 
 
 Fallon's failing Teleprompters

 Fallon's opening monologue didn't go quite as well as the musical number. Within seconds of him walking onstage, the funny man burst out laughing, informing viewers his Teleprompter wasn't functioning properly. But he quickly recovered, making several cracks about the 2016 U.S. presidential election. 
 
 "As always, the ballots for tonight's Golden Globes were carefully tabulated by the accounting firm of Ernst and Young and Putin," he quipped. 
 
 "The People v. O.J." nab early awards

 After its sweep of the 2016 Emmy Awards, "The People v. O.J. Simpson," which led the Globe's TV nominations with five nods, started the night off big with wins for both lead actress Sarah Paulson and the miniseries itself (Best Television Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television).

 Following her Emmy win months ago, Paulson's first-ever Golden Globe toasted her now-famous portrayal of former Los Angeles County prosecutor Marcia Clark. 
 
 Paulson thanked "the remarkable" Clark in her acceptance speech. "You are an inspiration to me," she said. "If I could live with a fraction of your wit, integrity, and your unapologetic fierceness, I would be on the road to doing it right." 
 
 "La La Land" hits all the right notes

 But it was "La La Land" that was music to the foreign press's ears. 
 
 Ryan Gosling accepted the award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy by paying tribute to his real-life love, Eva Mendes. "While I was singing and dancing and playing piano and having one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on a film, my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second, and trying to help her brother fight his battle with cancer," Gosling said. 
 
 "If she hadn’t taken all that on so that I could have this experience, it would surely be someone else up her other than me today. Sweetheart, thank you," he continued before dedicating the award to the memory of Mendes' brother, Juan Carlos. 
 
 Later, Gosling's co-star Emma Stone won in her category, and immediately thanked her mother, Gosling and others. "This is a film for dreamers," she said. "Hope and creativity are two of the most important things in the world." 
 
 Director Damien Chazelle also picked up a Best Director's award and a Best Screenplay award. 
 
 A win for Affleck (Casey, that is)

 No Globes for Portman (or Ryder) 
 
 In one of the night's most surprising upsets, French actress Isabelle Huppert ("Elle") beat two-time Globe winner Natalie Portman for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama. Portman's performance as Jackie Kennedy in "Jackie" has been wowing critics for months, and the actress, currently pregnant with her second child, was considered a lock-in by many. 
 
 Portman's "Black Swan" co-star, Winona Ryder, was a buzzed-about contender for a Best Actress in a Television Drama for her role in Netflix's "Stranger Things," but she was bested by "The Crown" star Claire Foy. 
 
 A first-time win for Tracee Ellis Ross

 Tracee Ellis Ross, one of the night's many first-time nominees, nabbed her first Golden Globe in the Best Actress in a TV Comedy category for her portrayal of Dr. Rainbow Johnson on "Black-ish," and became the first black actress to win in the category since Debbie Allen's 1983 win for "Fame." 
 
 Ross, daughter of pop music superstar Diana Ross, dedicated the award to "all of the women of color and colorful people whose stories, ideas, thoughts are not always considered worthy."

In fact, the actress's category consisted entirely of first-timers, including her co-star, Mandy Moore, Olivia Colman (“The Night Manager”), Lena Headey (“Game of Thrones”), and Thandie Newton (“Westworld”). 
 
 In the end, Colman took home the Globe.

 Robots, royals and more drama 
 
 The Best TV Drama category heated up with exciting and diverse new shows. First-time contenders included HBO's spooky robot drama "Westworld," NBC's family ensemble "This Is Us," Netflix's royal series "The Crown," and its retro sci-fi thriller "Stranger Things" Whom do they face off against? HBO's critically acclaimed dragon drama "Game of Thrones."

 When funny ladies and "Snatched" co-stars Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn presented the award for Best Motion Picture Comedy or Musical to Gosling, they brought down the house with their hilarious schtick. 
 
 "In our new movie, Amy and I play mother and daughter,” said Hawn. 
 
 “I play the daughter,” interjected Schumer. “Although I read for both parts.” 
 
 Hawn, who said she left her glasses at home, repeatedly flubbed words on the Teleprompter. "Best Motion Picture Comedy or Mystical," Hawn said, squinting. 
 
 "Musical," Schumer corrected her. 
 
 "The nominees of five of the most tainted men," Hawn tried again. 
 
 “It’s talented. Kurt, do you have her glasses?” Schumer asked looking into the audience for Hawn's longtime beau, Kurt Russell.

 And the Cecil B. Demille Award goes to ... Meryl!

 Viola Davis presented her former co-star Meryl Streep, nominated for her 30th (!) Golden Globe for her performance in "Florence Foster Jenkins," with the night's most prestigious award for her outstanding body of work. (The actress holds the record for most Globe wins with a whopping eight awards.) 
 
 Streep accepted the award with an impassioned speech about the divisive presidential election and its outcome, and called on the press to be vigilant in its political reporting. She concluded tearfully, "As my friend, the dear departed Princess Leia, said to me once, 'Take your broken heart and make it into art.'" 
 
 Victory for Viola 
 
 Davis nabbed her own award for her role in "Fences," an adaption of a 1983 August Wilson play. The actress thanked her husband, Julius Tennon, and their young daughter, Genesis, before thanking her father, Dan Davis, whose life, she said, shared similarities with the main character of "Fences." 
 
 In memoriam 
 
 Speaking of Princess Leia, the ceremony honored the late mother-daughter duo Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher with a brief film reel featuring some of their most iconic films including "Singing in the Rain" and, of course, "Star Wars." ||||| Here Are the 12 Best & Worst Moments at the 2017 Golden Globes 
 
 Even without the peerless co-hosting talents of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler -- we'll miss 'em stewarding Hollywood's drunkest awards show always -- plenty of memories were made at Sunday night's (Jan. 8) Golden Globes, both good and bad. (Many of both types featured the Globes' new host, Jimmy Fallon.) Here are the moments that should be inspiring the most extended buzzes and brutal hangovers tomorrow morning. 
 
 BEST MOMENTS 
 
 Billy Bob Thorton vs. Bob Odenkirk 
 
 Never lacking for misanthropic style, Billy Bob Thorton used his surprise win for Best Actor in a Comedy Series as an opportunity to settle a puzzling fictional score with vanquished co-nominee Bob Odenkirk: "Bob and I have had a feud since the 1940s when we did a movie with Van Johnson -- remember that, Bob? And we've had a little thing ever since. So, there you go, bud." Made as much sense as Billy Bob's indoor sunglasses, and was just as amusing. 
 
 Donald Glover's Migos Shout-Out 
 
 "Not for being in the show, but for making 'Bad and Boujee.' That’s the best song…ever.” How quickly we forget about "Black Beatles" -- but still, close enough. 
 
 Denzel Washington, Having a Moment 
 
 And we hadn't even gotten to Meryl Streep's speech yet. 
 
 ?ulia Louis-Dreyfuss 
 
 Not a bad look with the hair pick and glasses, but most memorable was just JLD's presented-without-comment DJ impression -- a faux-scratch here, a knob twiddle there, and a perpetually undistractable facial expression. 
 
 "Fantasia Day" 
 
 Without Tina and Amy, nothing more reliable at the Golden Globes than Kristen Wiig and a worthy comedic partner shaming all other pre-award banter with a routine that's confusing, unpredictable and at least mostly hilarious. Her and Steve Carrell did the legacy proud this year with their tragic remembrances of the first time they ever saw an animated movie; Wiig while her three dogs were being put down, and Carrell just before his parents got divorced: "I never saw my father again after that day… Fantasia day…”

 But only if we all agree that this is the last time, and we're all gonna let it go after this.

 Tough for Donald Glover to top his Migos moment, but although his speech for Best Actor in a Comedy was damn strong, the emotional heavy lifting was done in the crowd, where Glover's two Atlanta co-stars were shown clutching each other like a couple of tearfully proud parents. A moment of true poignance, even more so because now we can look forward to the possibility of it somehow being integrated into an upcoming season two episode. 
 
 Meryl's speech

 Raw, heartfelt, necessary and earned -- and for us in the press, more ennobling than we sometimes deserve. 
 
 WORST MOMENTS 
 
 Take that, Mariah Carey 
 
 Jimmy Fallon experienced a monitor mishap of his own to begin the live portion of his Golden Globes hosting, so he deflected any potential virality to a predecessor who'll forever have him trumped, Mariah Carey: "She thinks that Dick Clark Productions sabotaged my monologue." Took him until the next time he was out to come up with that zinger, too. 
 
 "Hidden Fences," not once but twice 
 
 To be fair, Hidden Fences does sound like a pretty good movie title. But, uh, still not a particularly good look for Michael Keaton, Jenna Bush, or anyone. 
 
 Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn's forgotten-glasses schtick 
 
 Is the best we can do for this duo a series of never-funny jokes about misreading the teleprompter? Between this and the "Formation" video remake, it's like Amy and Goldie think they have to try way harder than they actually do to be funny and awesome together. 
 
 The doubly aggressive play-off music

 Yeah, we all want to get out of here and go to sleep, but this is just getting insulting. ||||| Presenting the Golden Globe for best animated film brought up some painful memories for Kristen Wiig and Steve Carell. 
 
 The hilarious duo —and Despicable Me voice actors — had the audience in stitches from the get-go, with Carell greeting the audience, “Good evening peers and regular people.”

 Wiig then made a quip about her new short hairdo, saying that in addition to collaborating with Carell for the animated series, the two “also get our haircut together.”

 But the pair really found their groove when Wiig asked Carell if he could remember the first animated movie he ever saw. 
 
 “I do actually, very well. Kind of a big deal, I was 6 years old and my dad took me to see Fantasia,” he began. 
 
 “It was astounding. The music, the spectacle of the whole thing. It was kind of a life-changing experience,” he continued. 
 
 “And as we were leaving the theater, there standing in the lobby was my mom — and that was the moment that she told my dad that she wanted a divorce,” he said, wiping an imaginary tear from his eye.

 “I never saw my father again after that day. Fantasia day,” he added, feigning heartbreak. 
 
 Changing the subject, Carell then asked Wiig about the first animated movie she saw as a kid. 
 
 “Bambi,” Wiig answered. “March 14, 1981: It was the same day we had to put our dogs down,” she said, staring off sadly into the distance.

 “My grandpa thought it’d be fun to go to the movie and take our minds off of it,” Wiig added, breaking character with a smile for the first time. “Also, that was the last day I saw my grandpa,” she added. “And I didn’t speak for two years.” 
 
 After the nominees for the award appeared onscreen, Carell and Wiig were seen hugging it out onstage. 
 
 And for the record, Zootopia took home the Golden Globe. ||||| Jimmy Fallon stayed true to his word that Donald Trump jokes would be aplenty at the Golden Globes. 
 
 The late night funnyman jumped right into jabs at the soon-to-be President-elect including comparing him to the evil King Joffrey from “Game of Thrones,” and poking fun at Trump's rumored close relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. 
 
 While Fallon tried his best to make a few jokes unrelated to the presidency, not many of them landed. 
 
 Here's a look at some of the funniest lines of the night:

 - "Jeff Bezos is here — he actually arrived yesterday, but no one was around to sign for him," Fallon quipped when discussing the numerous nominations Amazon original series received. 
 
 - "'Game of Thrones' is nominated tonight, the show has so many plot twists and shocking moments, some wondered what would have happened if King Joffrey had lived. Well in 12 days we're going to find out," the late night host said, comparing the President-elect to the evil TV character. 
 
 - Fallon noted that "Manchester by the Sea" was the only thing in 2016 more depressing than the year itself.

 -"Of course we all know Matt Damon's greatest acting role was telling Ben Affleck he liked "Batman vs. Superman," Fallon said, mocking the notably terrible film. 
 
 - Another one of Fallon's early jokes addressed Mariah Carey's disastrous New Year's Eve performance. "I just got off the phone with Mariah Carey. She thinks Dick Clark Productions tried to sabotage my monologue," he said.

The 74th annual Golden Globe nominations will be streamed live online, beginning at 8:10 a.m. EST. Among the films expected to take in a number of nods are Damien Chazelle’s nostalgic... (Associated Press) 
 
 Damien Chazelle's Los Angeles musical "La La Land" sang and danced its way to a leading seven Golden Globes nominations, with Barry Jenkins' celebrated coming-of-age tale "Moonlight" close on its heels with six nods. 
 
 "La La Land" earned nominations for its lead actors, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, as well as best picture, comedy or musical. The film also scored nominations for directing, screenplay, score and original song in the nominations announced Monday in Los Angeles by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. 
 
 "Moonlight," spread across three chapters of a young man's life in Miami, led the field in the dramatic categories, including best picture. It earned nods for Jenkins' directing and script, supporting actor favorite Mahershala Ali and supporting actress Naomie Harris. 
 
 "When you see that the HFPA comes back with six nominations you know they saw the work and the love put into the film," Jenkins said by phone. "It fills my heart." 
 
 The other nominees for best picture, drama, were "Manchester by the Sea," ''Lion," ''Hell or High Water" and "Hacksaw Ridge." 
 
 On the television side, "The People v. O.J. Simpson" continued its awards success with five nominations, including best limited series and nods for stars Sarah Paulson, Courtney B. Vance, Sterling K. Brown and John Travolta. 
 
 Other awards regulars ("Veep," ''Transparent") were recognized, too, though a number of more recent acclaimed shows not eligible for September's Emmy Awards elbowed their way in, including "The Night Of," ''Westworld," ''Atlanta," ''This Is Us" and "Insecure." HBO led the networks with 14 nominations. 
 
 "Huge thanks to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and the Russian hackers that made our nominations possible," joked "Veep" star Julia Louis-Dreyfus on her eighth Globe nod. 
 
 The film nominees also verified that this year's awards season isn't nearly so white as last year's. Along with "Moonlight," nominations were heaped on Denzel Washington's August Wilson adaptation "Fences" (including acting nods for Washington and Viola Davis), the interracial marriage drama "Loving" (leads Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton were each nominated) and the inspirational NASA drama about African-American mathematicians "Hidden Figures" (for which Octavia Spencer was nominated). Those nominations confirm what has already solidified as a notably more diverse Oscar field. 
 
 Kenneth Lonergan's tender portrait of grief, "Manchester by the Sea," landed five nominations, including best actor in a drama for Casey Affleck and best supporting actress for Michele Williams. "It will actually be my first time attending the Golden Globes and I've been working for more than 20 years, so this moment isn't lost on me," said Affleck. 
 
 The Weinstein Co.'s "Lion," about an Indian boy separated from his family, had an especially good morning. The film also earned four nods, including acting nominations for Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman. 
 
 Mel Gibson, long a divisive, controversial figure in Hollywood, also had reason to celebrate. His World War II drama "Hacksaw Ridge" landed three nominations, including best director and best actor in a drama for star Andrew Garfield. 
 
 But a few of Hollywood's most revered directors went empty-handed. Neither Martin Scorsese's "Silence" nor Clint Eastwood's "Sully" landed anything. 
 
 The best actress race is one of the year's most competitive, though it's so far been dominated by "Elle" star Isabelle Huppert. She was nominated for best actress in a drama, along with Amy Adams ("Arrival"), Natalie Portman ("Jackie"), Jessica Chastain ("Miss Sloane") and Negga. 
 
 Along with "La La Land," the best picture, comedy or musical, nominees were "20th Century Women," ''Sing Street," ''Florence Foster Jenkins" and — most strikingly — the R-rated superhero romp "Deadpool." ''As we speak, the entire 'Deadpool' team is engaged in a grotesque, early morning tickle-fight," tweeted the film's star, Ryan Reynolds, who was also nominated. 
 
 The Hollywood Foreign Press, a collection of mostly freelance journalists, has a history of sometimes playing favorites and packing its lively banquet with stars. This year's picks featured some eyebrow-raising outliers like the unheralded Aaron Taylor-Johnson for Tom Ford's "Nocturnal Animals" for best supporting actor and Jonah Hill for the poorly reviewed "War Dogs." 
 
 The Globes, which will be hosted in Beverly Hills by Jimmy Fallon in Jan. 8, are no Oscar predictor. But their nominations did nothing to unsettle the front-runner status of "La La Land" (the top choice by the New York Film Critics and the Critics Choice Awards) or the close pursuit of "Moonlight" (Los Angeles Film Critics Association and Gotham Independent Film Awards winner). "Manchester by Sea" also has the look of a shoo-in. 
 
 Other choices were anything but surprising. Meryl Streep landed her 30th nomination for best actress in a musical or comedy for "Florence Foster Jenkins." The film, about a Manhattan heiress' quixotic dreams of singing opera, was one of the morning's biggest winners, scoring four nominations including nods for Hugh Grant and Simon Helberg. Streep, an eight-time winner, will also be the recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award for career achievement. 
 
 Along with Streep and Stone, the best actress, comedy or musical, nominees include Annette Bening ("20th Century Women"), Hailee Steinfeld for the teen comedy "The Edge of Seventeen" and Lily Collins for Warren Beatty's Howard Hughes tale "Rules Don't Apply." 
 
 In a sign of Hollywood's increasing division between mega blockbusters and smaller independent films, the lead nominee getters were overwhelmingly independent. Lionsgate led the way with 13 nods thanks largely to "La La Land." The indie outfit A24, producer of "Moonlight," followed with nine. Amazon Studios, which is distributing "Manchester by the Sea," outranked goliaths like the Walt Disney Co. (three noms) and Warner Bros. (just one). Plus, Amazon earned five TV nods for "Transparent" and "Mozart in the Jungle." 
 
 The nominees for best animated film are: "Zootopia," ''Kubo and the Two Strings," ''Moana," ''My Life as a Zucchini" and "Sing." Left out was Pixar's "Finding Dory," the year's top domestic box-office hit. 
 
 The best foreign language film nominees are "Elle," ''The Salesman," ''Toni Erdmann," ''Neruda" and "Divines."

 Scott Rudin immediately pays tribute to the Sony Pictures moguls. “Amy Pascal and I started together as kids 30 years ago. We’ve spent our entire lives together waiting for a night like this.” (She once worked for him.) Rudin then ushers seated Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield onstage to join everyone else associated with the Facebook origins pic. This is clearly The New And Improved Scott Rudin trying to erase his image as the ashtray-throwing abuser and replace it with that of the kindness-embracer. Because he knows full well that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences members don’t vote for people they don’t like. It’s one thing to lobby (or pay off) the Hollywood Foreign Press for a win tonight. It’s quite another to swing Academy members. Rudin’s longtime nemesis Harvey Weinstein, too, is trying for a niceness makeover in support of his Best Picture Oscar contender The King’s Speech. The next six weeks are gonna be ones for the record books as this comedy of manners plays out as a farce.

 Cancer-stricken and now cancer-survivor Michael Douglas comes out and the audience leaps to its collective feet. ”There’s just gotta be an easier way to get a standing ovation,” he says. He looks good if a bit unsteady.

 BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA: COLIN FIRTH, THE KING’S SPEECH 
 
 Like Natalie Portman, Colin Firth has been the frontrunner and this win just confirms that. “Right now this is all that stands between me and a Harley-Davidson,” he quips and calls his relationships with co-star Geoffrey Rush and director Tom Hooper “my two other sides of a surprisingly robust man love”. Harvey Weinstein is raptly attentive when Firth singles him out for ”putting me in an improbable number of good films. We’ve had 20 years together which is not bad going for a showbiz marriage. Thank you, Harvey.”

 BEST MOTION PICTURE – COMEDY OR MUSICAL: THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT, Antidote Films, Mandalay Vision, Gilbert Films; Focus Features 
 
 A near sweep for this dramedy in this category, which the Golden Globes has and the Academy Awards doesn’t — and should. Funny how the folks onstage can’t remember all the producers’ names. It’s easy: just recall all the managers and boyfriends and brothers involved.

 Gervais goes on and on about presenter Tom Hank’s credits. “The other is Tim Allen.” Funny moment. 
 
 Hanks shoots back: “Like many of you, we recall back when Ricky Gervais was a slightly chubby but very kind comedian.” 
 
 “Neither of which he is now,” chimes in Allen. 
 
 It’s official: the room has turned against Gervais. Which is why I’m liking him more and more as the night drags on. But trust me, tomorrow the phones at NBC and Dick Clark Prods will be ringing off the hook with angry agents and managers complaining how this was the meanest awards show in Hollywood history and explaining why their clients won’t attend next year’s Golden Globes because of it. Maybe that will convince the powers-that-be to clean up the most corrupt awards-giving group in Hollywood history. More likely, NBC and Dick Clark Prods will follow the path of least resistance and just fire Gervais and all the writers.

 BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA: NATALIE PORTMAN, BLACK SWAN 
 
 Interesting how the audience gave a big whoop when presenter Jeff Bridges came to Natalie Portman’s name when reading the list of nominees: she now an Oscar shoo-in after what was once considered a very tight race for Best Actress. But Blue Valentine‘s Michelle Williams also had noisemakers so maybe she’s coming on strong. Portman’s speech was so bloodless until the pregnant actress spoke about her fiance Benjamin Millepied who choreographed Black Swan: “You might remember him in the movie as the guy when they ask, ‘Would you sleep with that girl?’ And says, ’No.” He’s the best actor. It’s not true. He totally wants to sleep with me.” And then she giggles like a schoolgirl. 
 
 Interesting how she says director Darren Aronofsky would tell her after a few takes, “Now do one for yourself.” He really does coax extraordinary performances.

 Chris Nolan is shown as the Inception clip is played. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Warner Bros waited too long to campaign for this pic this awards season. As a result, it’s already been overshadowed by The Social Network and The King’s Speech and The Fighter and Black Swan and True Grit — which is ridiculous. 
 
 BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE – COMEDY OR MUSICAL - PAUL GIAMATTI, BARNEY’S VERSION 
 
 And here we all thought the HFPA had promised this award to Johnny Depp for either The Tourist or Alice In Wonderland if he just showed up. Even Giamatti looks shocked. “This is a tiny movie that has done tiny business. “I almost think a mistake has been made because the other gentlemen in this category are my superiors in every regard as men and as actors,” he says humbly,” also warning the audience that “I’m a little jacked up because I ate 5 boxes of the free Godiva chocolates.”

 BEST TELEVISION SERIES – COMEDY OR MUSICAL: GLEE (FOX), Ryan Murphy Television, Twentieth Century Fox Television 
 
 So much sucking up at this awards show, so little time. Exec producer Ryan Murphy gives shout-outs to Dana Walden and Gary Newman of Twentieth Century Fox TV and Kevin Reilly and Peter Rice of Fox Broadcasting before he’s rushed off-stage. To jump the shark, no doubt.

 BEST DIRECTOR – MOTION PICTURE: DAVID FINCHER, THE SOCIAL NETWORK 
 
 This is turning into The Social Network sweep. He’s reading from notes about “popping Propecia like Chiclets” and “Jon Benet Rudin”. The audience laughs, and Rudin guffaws, but I don’t get it. Fincher thanks Sony Pictures’ Amy Pascal and Michael Lynton and refers to himself “as a bitter man with a lot of opinions”. It’s clear that Fincher, who’s one of the most disliked directors in Hollywood because of his relentless arrogance is attempting to recast himself this awards season as warm and fuzzy and most of all humble. “I’m personally loathe to acknowledge the kind of wonderful response which this film has received,” he says, waiting a beat, “for fear of becoming addicted to it. So, suffice it to say: it’s been really nice.”

 Robert De Niro receives the Cecil B DeMille Awards, but Matt Damon at first appears to win the booby prize for worst intro ever. That is until the audience in the ballroom and at home realized he’s just joking. “I actually don’t go to movies a lot because I spend much of my time making them. So I had no idea who Robert DeNiro was until 5 years ago when he asked me to be in his film The Good Shepherd. So naturally I needed to educate myself on who this guy was. So I started asking around.” Then Damon launches into some impressions from DeNiro films — but of other actors, not DeNiro. “And who could forget Taxi Driver where he was literally unrecognizable as a blonde 13-year-old hooker. He just disappears.” 
 
 After a clip reel tribute, the camera stops zooming in on Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt long enough to spotlight De Niro, who says to Damon, “And I loved you in The Fighter.” He very obviously reads from the teleprompter. He notes that the HFPA made the announcement he’d receive the DeMille award “well before you had a chance to review Little Fockers. I saw those. It’s OK. We all have our jobs to do.” And paychecks to support Bob’s extravagant lifestyle. 
 
 De Niro, too, insults the HFPA members “who pose for pictures with the movie stars. I’m sorry more members of the Hollywood Foreign Press aren’t with us tonight, but many of them were deported right before the show… along with most of the waiters … and Javier Bardem.” Ouch! Yup, this is the meanest awards show ever. 
 
 De Niro kinda shows himself to be the asshole we always suspected he was. He even goes on to criticize the clip reel shown. Did he hire a dialogue writer to punch up his speech? If so, big mistake, Bob.

 BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A MOTION PICTURE: MELISSA LEO, THE FIGHTER 
 
 “My god, all that and kissed by Jeremy Irons!” Melissa Leo exults. “Look, Ma, I’ve got a Golden Globe!” (Again, someone on stage who thinks that means something. We need to deprogram these thesps.) Leo made a humorous reference to being in a hotel room with director David O Russell. But she hits the career jackpot with a shout-out to Paramount mogul Brad Grey. You’re looking at the next female lead in Transformers 4, trust me.

 BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A TELEVISION SERIES – COMEDY OR MUSICAL: JIM PARSONS, THE BIG BANG THEORY 
 
 Well, Jim Parsons better have a food tester join him on set Monday after he referred to the writing staff as “my writers” and then tried to correct himself by saying: “…My writers, how crass. The truth comes out.” Remember that the Teamsters supported the WGA strike. So don’t get into any cars to drive you to Warner Bros this week, Jim.

 Gervais acknowledges what we all know to be true: the Best Foreign language Film is “a category that nobody in America cares about”. But he notes how it’s an opportunity for the HFPA to showcast young and perfect teeth presenters Robert Pattinson and Olivia Wilde. 
 
 BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM: IN A BETTER WORLD (DENMARK), (Hævnen) Zentropa Entertainment; Sony Pictures Classics 
 
 This pic didn’t screen for the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences until January 13th but winning the Golden Globe instantly improves its chances since the overall response to this year’s batch of Foreign Language films has been lukewarm. Sudan’s government accused Danish director Susanne Bier — who gives a shout-out to CAA — of making an anti-Islamic film even while she was still shooting. It’s a charge Bier has denied. “The movie doesn’t address religion in any shape or form,” she tells Deadline’s London editor Tim Adler. In a Better World, she says, is set in an unspecified part of Africa and was actually shot in Kenya. Bier wants to steer clear of any religious controversy – only last month 5 men were arrested for planning a machine-gun attack on the Danish newspaper which printed cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. 
 
 In a Better World follows a doctor who commutes between his home in an idyllic Denmark town and his work at an African refugee camp. He and his wife, who have two young sons, are separated and contemplating the awfulness of divorce. The doctor and his wife come together when their oldest son is involved in a dangerous act of revenge. The idea sprang from a conversation Bier had with her screenwriter Anders Thomas Jensen about how living in Scandinavia gave you a false sense of security about what the world was really like. Meanwhile, Jensen had already written a few scenes featuring police interrogating children. Bier says: “It asks whether our own ‘advanced’ culture is the model for a better world, or whether the same disarray found in lawlessness is lurking beneath the surface of our own civilization. Are we immune to chaos, or obliviously teetering on the verge of disorder?” 
 
 Given its modest DKK30 million ($5.4 million) budget, In a Better World wasn’t overly difficult to finance through the usual Danish soft money sources. “At that budget level, it’s relatively easy to make the film you want,” she says. TrustNordisk, its sales agent, has sold In a Better World to more than 50 territories, including North America. Sony Pictures Classics will release the film in April. It has grossed $7.2 million so far, having been released in Denmark, Finland, Italy, Norway and Sweden.

 BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A SERIES, MINI-SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION: JANE LYNCH, GLEE 
 
 “I am nothing if not falsely humble,” she says, dedicating the Golden Globe to writer Ian Brennan “a deranged young man … who created Sue Sylvester and every heinous insane line that comes out of my mouth was written by him. This is yours too although I will be holding onto it.” The HFPA has jumped on the Glee bandwagon big-time, but so did the Emmys and everyone in media. It’s official: Glee has jumped the shark. (And not just because exec producer Ryan Murphy has okayed that upcoming Bieber-licious boy band episode timed to his biopic.) 
 
 — 
 
 BEST SCREENPLAY – MOTION PICTURE: AARON SORKIN, THE SOCIAL NETWORK 
 
 Sorkin took the old-fashioned dialogue of The West Wing and married it to young and cool actors in this Facebook founding movie, and for that reason he’s a lock for Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar. This more general category could have been a shocker but wasn’t. Sorkin gave shout-outs to Sony’s Amy Pascal and Michael Lynton “who believe that the people who watch movies are at least as smart as the people who make movies”. WME gets a big mention as well as Scott Rudin “who is the best living producer of movies and he gives the dead ones a run for their money, too.” He praised director David Fincher for “making scenes of typing and sometimes scenes of just talking about typing look like bank robberies”. He even sucks up to Mark Zuckerberg. In another words, Sorkin gives a real brown-noser of an acceptance speech.

 Gervais says he cast presenter Steve Carell in the American version of The Office and then calls him “ungrateful” for leaving their “cash cow” of a show. All while smiling. This might just be the meanest awards show in recorded history. Or the most honest. I can’t tell the difference.

 BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MINI-SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION: CLAIRE DANES, TEMPLE GRANDIN 
 
 Again, Claire Danes won the Emmy for this HBO film and she’s the hottest actress nominated in this category so… no surprise. Not to imply it’s not deserved because the movie and Danes were definitely a cut above. Especially for giving that lovely tribute to her late agent Ed Limato “who should be here. I love him. I miss him.” 
 
 — 
 
 BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MINI-SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION: AL PACINO, YOU DON’T KNOW JACK 
 
 A no-brainer choice. Of course the HFPA wouldn’t miss an opportunity to have Al Pacino take the stage even if he already won an Emmy for the HBO film directed by Barry Levinson “who did so much for this movie and found an eloquence and did so much for me,” Pacino says onstage. “He had a real feeling for Jack.”

 The show comes back from commercial with the audience laughing. This is the 2nd or 3rd time this has happened. Obviously there’s better stuff being said off-camera than on. This may be the first time I wish I’d been at the GG dinner instead of just live-blogging from home. I Because what I’m watching on air is a smarmy borefest.

 BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE – COMEDY OR MUSICAL – ANNETTE BENING, THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT 
 
 Since the Golden Globes splits these film and actor categories into drama vs comedy/musical, performances like Bening’s get awarded. She notes how her co-star Julianne Moore convinced her to do the pic. “And to the 1962 winner of Most Promising Actor, my husband Warren Beatty.” He blows her a kiss. (Note to Warren, do a character part or two. Get behind the camera again. Don’t obsess over Dick Tracy.) 
 
 Robert Downey Jr then becomes somewhat classless himself, even if joking, and says “I don’t know if an actress has done her best work until I’ve slept with her”. Then proceeds to name “Julianne” (Julianne Moore), and “Angie” (Angelina Jolie), and Annette (Annette Bening), and “Anne” (Anne Hathaway). Working blue moment: “I’d give it to all 5 of you.” 
 
 — 
 
 Gervais makes truly tasteless and classless digs at Robert Downey Jr, first asking if the titles of his past films are porn films, and then noting “the people in this room probably know him best from the Betty Ford Clinic and Los Angeles County Jail.” C’mon, there’s gotta be a statute of limitations on mentioning someone’s decades-old rehabs, right? On the other hand, that may be what the TV audience is thinking. Downey comes out and really blasts Gervais. “Aside from the fact that it’s been hugely mean-spirited with mildly sinister undertones, I’d say the vibe of the show has been pretty good so far, wouldn’t you?” He gets the biggest laugh of the night. 
 
 — 
 
 BEST ANIMATED FEATURE FILM: TOY STORY 3, Disney * Pixar; Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures 
 
 Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich looks at Bieber and fellow presenter Hailee Steinfeld and says, “Wow, were you two even born when the first Toy Story came out?” This win falls into the “like, duh” category. Disney’s Rich Ross and Bob Iger and Pixar’s Jon Lassiter all get shout-outs. Unkrich called TS3 “an animated movie that beat with a human heart”.

 OHMYGOD, it’s Justin Bieber. Oh, I love me some Justin. He’s so… Wait a minute, my mind was just taken over by all those 11-year-olds who comment on Deadline anytime we mention The Bieber in a shameless plug for his Internet traffic. Ugh.

 BEST ORIGINAL SONG – MOTION PICTURE: “YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE LAST OF ME” — BURLESQUE – Music & Lyrics by: Diane Warren 
 
 As if the Golden Globes would have missed a chance to honor a trashy film like this one. Why anybody bothered to make Burlesque or give it such a wide release might be a mystery. Until it’s revealed that Screen Gems chief Clint Culpepper greenlighted his boyfriend’s $55+ million passion project. (Their on-set strife over budget, schedule, and creative decisions resulted in the most expensive film in Screen Gems history, and word is they’re now broken up after 20 years. Awkward.) But novice director Steven Antin deserves at least some credit for bringing back Cher to the big screen: they both dated David Geffen, and the mogul urged Cher to take the role. She hasn’t had a major film since 1999′s Tea With Mussolini and is a bonafide national treasure along with Diane Warren. But am I the only one who can’t stand Christina Aguilera’s hammy vocal stylings? Thankfully, Cher sing this one. So menschy of Diane Warren to dedicate the Globe to murdered Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen.

 We have a winner, folks, for most awkward presenter pairing so far tonight; Alec Baldwin and Jennifer Lopez. J-Lo clearly has no talent for improv, which doesn’t bode well for her stint as a judge on American Idol first airing next week. Not to worry. That contest show is scripted to within an inch of its life anyway.

 We just saw Andrew Garfield unveiled in his Spidey suit last week, and now he’s onstage intro’ing The Social Network. Yes, he really is that skinny. We already know he can act. But what’s the verdict on him in Sony’s Spider-Man reboot? Afterwards, Ricky Gervais calls TSN his favorite film of the year then makes a lame Paul McCartney-Heather Mills joke at facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s expense.

 BEST TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA: BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) Leverage, Closest to the Hole Productions, Sikelia Productions and Cold Front Productions, HBO Entertainment 
 
 Again, the Golden Globes was able to get out in front of the Emmys by honoring this show that didn’t debut until after those TV awards. The HFPA will get ink for this, which is the name of their game. If you ask me, this big-budget series is a well-written snoozefest lacking the punch of The Sopranos and loaded with too much polish. “Holy effin’ crap, we just won a Golden Globe award,” creator, exec producer, and writer Terry Winter says onstage as if that means something. Marty Scorsese is MIA because he’s filming Hugo Cabret in London. I’m surprised, for ratings, the HFPA/NBC/Dick Clark Prodns didn’t present Scorsese by satellite like the American Cinematheque recently did. Winter gives a shout-out to HBO’s Richard Plepler, Bill Nelson, Mike Lombardo, and Sue Naegle, calling the pay channel “no better place to work”. And tells his friends and family back in Brooklyn, ”I can’t believe I’m sitting at a table with Al Pacino either.” 
 
 — 
 
 BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA: STEVE BUSCEMI, BOARDWALK EMPIRE 
 
 This was a foregone conclusion that HBO’s big budget mob series from Marty Scorsese would be well awarded tonight. After all, it didn’t air in time for the 2010 Emmys, so the Golden Globes can get out first in awarding it. There is something swell in seeing this character actor take center stage as a leading man. “I hope we do it for years and years and years,” Buscemi says, reading from his notes. He calls creator, exec producer, and writer Terry Winter the “heart and soul” of the show and says, “I am indebted to you for the rest of my life.” Deserved.

 So now the President of the HFPA is intro’ed, and Philip Berk who writes for “Galaxy and Filmink Australian”. I’ve never heard of either media outlet. As I keep telling you, these are not the journalists from The Times of London or Le Monde because they get blackballed if they try to join the HFPA; these are marginal media players. Berk takes the stage and immediately gets in his own dig at Gervais for insulting the organization. “Ricky, the next time you want me to qualify your movies — go to another guy.” But a top Hollywood publicist emails me, ”Could the thank you speeches be any more humiliating?” so the industry is taking note of all the bad PR tonight for the HFPA. I smell a shake-up in the offing.

 So far no horrible bloopers, faux pas, get-ups, or other Hollywood nonsense. NBC and Dick Clark Productions are putting on just another soporific and sophomoric awards show. Where’s the fun in that? We already have the stultifying Oscars, for crissakes. Truly I don’t understand why the public watches the Golden Globes or any of these self-congratulatory kudoscasts when they’re not paid to (like me).

 BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A SERIES, MINI-SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION: CHRIS COLFER, GLEE 
 
 The kid looks absolutely stunned. “I think I just dropped my heart between Natalie Portman and Julianna Moore, so if anyone sees that, please give it back to me.” He calls exec producer Ryan Murphy his “fairy godfather”. Colfer, who’s been outspoken on the subject of gay teens getting bullied in school, makes a pointed reference to that in his acceptance speech. “Screw that, kids!” Immediately, a top Hollywood publicist email me, ”Chris Colfer has such presence for a young man. Finally some class.”

 Gervais introduces Bruce Willis as “Ashton Kutcher’s Dad”. Ouch! So does that make Demi Moore then Ashton’s Mom and not wife? This makes my head hurts.

 BEST MINI-SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION: CARLOS (SUNDANCE CHANNEL) 
 
 Again, this selection is completely surprising, especially up against HBO’s Temple Grandin, You Don’t Know Jack, and The Pacific mini-series. Perhaps HBO didn’t lavish enough attention or expensive under-the-table goodies on the HFPA? This is what happens when an organization is thought to be corrupt: every move becomes suspect. The camera zooms in on Tom Hanks, The Pacific‘s executive producer, and boy does he look angry! After all, that WWII epic cost $200 million… I love the way the guys who won totally ignored the orchestra music playing over them to signal it’s time to get off the stage NOW.

 Miss Golden Globe is intro’ed, Gia Mantegna who in keeping with tradition is the relative of a well known Hollywood personality, in this case film and TV actor Joe Mantegna. Let’s just saw that in previous years the selections have been the relatives of true legends.

 BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA: KATEY SAGAL, SONS OF ANARCHY 
 
 This is a shocker since this FX cable series doesn’t have anywhere near the hype of competitors like rival series from AMC’s Mad Men or CBS’ The Good Wife or TNT’s The Closer whose star Kyra Segwick won the 2010 Emmy.

 First award handed out: 
 
 BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A MOTION PICTURE: CHRISTIAN BALE, THE FIGHTER 
 
 Christian Bale took the stage unshaven with very long hair and proceeded to further humiliate the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in his acceptance speech. “I never really knew who those guys were. I’d always leave the press junkets going, ‘Who are those oddball characters in that room?’ I just sat there and they were always arguing amongst themselves and I would go, ‘Hello? I’m here’. And now I know who you are, and suddenly I realize how wise and spectacular and perceptive those guys really are. What a bunch of characters.” He thanked Mark Wahlberg, The Fighter‘s star and producer, for driving the production. (“You can only give a loud performance like I gave when you have a quiet anchor.” Bale also gave a shout-out to the film’s financier Relativity Media’s Ryan Kavanaugh as well as original developer/now distributor Paramount.

 Host Ricky Gervais took the stage and was even more blasphemous towards the antics of Hollywood and especially the tarnished reputation of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association than he was last year. I love it. “It’s going to be a night of partying and heavy drinking. Or as Charlie Sheen calls it, breakfast.” He spoke how it was a big year for 3D “except the characters of The Tourist … I’m jumping on the bandwagon. Because I haven’t even seen The Tourist. Who has? It must be good because it’s nominated, so shut up,” when the audience openly groaned. And I’d like to quash this ridiculous rumor going round that the only reason it was nominated was so the Hollywood Foreign Press could hang out with JohnnyDepp and Angeline Jolie. That is rubbish. That is not the only reason. They also accepted bribes.” Again, the audience groaned. “All that happened is that some of them were taken to see Cher in concert. How the hell is that a bribe? (…Because it’s not 1975)”. 
 
 Gervais also took aim at the Sex And The City 2‘s foursome of actresses who were trying to hide their ages in the poorly performing sequel. “I was sure the Golden Globe for special effects team would go to the team that airbrushed that poster. Girls, we know how old you are. I saw one of you in an episode of Bonanza.” 
 
 Gervais mentioned Jim Carrey’s indie film I Love You, Phillip Morris where “two heterosexual actors pretend to be gay. So the complete opposite of some famous Scientologists then.” When the audience seemed shocked, Gervais noted, “My lawyers helped me with the wording of that joke.” He went on to call two new cable TV dramas “great”, HBO’s Boardwalk Empire and AMC’s The Walking Dead, the latter a segue into a joke about the Playboy founder Hugh Hefner who is getting married at age 84 to a 24-year-old blonde beauty. Then Gervais began simulating oral sex onstage, quipping, “I warned ‘em.” He also made reference to ABC’s Lost finale during which “all the questions were answered. I’m pretty sure the fat one ate them all.” And finally he got in a jab at Mel Gibson’s anti-semitic ranting, introducing Scarlett Johanssen by noting that she’s a Jew. “Mel Gibson told me that. He’s obssessed.”

 BACKGROUND: I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: this is a completely meaningless awards show from a scandal-riddled organization on a network desperate for ratings. Not only have journalists like myself for years been attacking the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for its exclusionary membership policies and too-cosy relationship with studios and networks, but an Oscar-winning documentary director (Vikram Jayanti in his 2004 film The Golden Globes: Hollywood’s Dirty Little Secret) has called the group a bunch of “freeloaders” who know more about hors d’oeuvres than auteurs and select winners based on ”who kisses butt best”. As recently as Friday, the HFPA was accused in a lawsuit filed by its former publicist (who for 17 years used to be paid to protect the group’s image) of accepting “payola” – like taking lavish gifts from studios in exchange for nominations — and other questionable business practices. Even though the charges are denied by the HFPA, the lawsuit alleges what we’ve all known: that the Golden Globes and the organization behind it have zero integrity. Hollywood filmmakers and TV producers who lavishly lobby the HFPA almost always score nominations. Stars win in direct correlation to their glamour quotient. Everything about the awards is geared towards hyping the media’s interest and the telecast’s ratings. Even the small motley group of 85 mostly freelancers who belong to the HFPA won’t grant membership to the real foreign journalists at the prestige media outlets across the world. That’s because the HFPA clique don’t want to dilute the financial bonanza they receive from the studios and networks who arrange exclusive interviews about each year’s movies and TV shows. The organizations who put on the Golden Globes — NBC and Dick Clark Productions — could clean up the HFPA but choose not to. That’s because everybody is making gobs of money, including the HFPA which pockets an estimated $30 million in broadcast fees for the awards show. Instead, the entire entertainment industry props up this pathetic broadcast because it’s seen as a night-long marketing tool. And, FYI: only once in the last six years has the winner of one of the Golden Globe best film prizes gone on to win Best Picture at the Oscars (2008′s Slumdog Millionaire) though that came after an 8-year Globe/Oscar winning streak. So I refuse to treat these nominations with any seriousness. (And if you don’t want that, then for crissakes stop reading me now…) In fact the only reason I can think of to tune in is because, over the years, Jack Nicholson has mooned the audience, Jim Carrey has talked out of his butt, Christine Lahti was locked in the bathroom, and other unscripted weirdness occurs at this intimate dinner.

 The Hollywood Foreign Press Association showered awards praise on "Vice," which received six Golden Globe nominations on Thursday. But it was a bad morning for everyone named Ryan (Gosling, Coogler and Reynolds) at the 76th annual awards show, which reveals its winners on Jan. 6 (NBC, 8 p.m. EST/5 PST). 
 
 These were the most notable snubs: 
 
 Ryan Gosling, Ryan Coogler and Ryan Reynolds. It was a tough year for everyone's favorite Ryan. Gosling lost out on a nomination as astronaut Neil Armstrong in "First Man" (also overlooked for best drama). Coogler was passed over as director of "Black Panther" (nominated for best drama). And Reynolds, who earned nominations for best actor and best movie for 2016's "Deadpool," was overlooked for "Deadpool 2." 
 
 "This Is Us." The NBC drama was completely shut out, including from the best-drama category. Previous acting nominees Mandy Moore, Chrissy Metz and Sterling K. Brown (who made history last year as the first African-American to win best actor in a TV drama series) all went missing. 
 
 Chadwick Boseman and Michael B. Jordan. "Black Panther" cruised into a best-drama nomination without lead actor Boseman, T'Challa himself, earning a best-actor spot. Jordan, as villainous Erik Killmonger, was also denied a nomination for best supporting actor. 
 
 More: Who got nominated for Golden Globes? Here's the list 
 
 Clint Eastwood. The 88-year-old film legend's latest drama, "The Mule" – his first lead role since 2012's "Trouble With the Curve" – was stubbornly denied in all categories, including best actor. 
 
 "The Grinch." The animated film version of the Dr. Seuss classic, with Benedict Cumberbatch voicing the Christmas-hating creep, has been a moviegoing favorite this holiday season. But it missed out on an animated-movie nomination.

 "Atlanta." The FX series, created and starring Donald Glover, took best comedy at the Golden Globes last year, but it failed to earn that nomination in 2018. Glover was nominated for best actor in a comedy, an award he won last year.

 "A Quiet Place." Director and star John Krasinski's box-office hit ($330 million worldwide), his first starring collaboration with wife Emily Blunt, has received rare critical raves for a horror film (an impressive 95% positive critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes), the kind that often warrant awards recognition. The film was nominated for movie of the year at the People's Choice Awards, but it scratched out only a nomination for best original score for the Globes.

 "Widows." With an all-star cast (including Viola Davis and Liam Neeson), Oscar-winning director Steve McQueen's heist drama seems poised for awards glory. But it received nothing at the Golden Globes, not even a best-actress nomination for Davis. 
 
 The songs of "Mary Poppins Returns." Blunt (as Mary Poppins) and Lin-Manuel Miranda scored in the major acting categories, and the movie was nominated for best comedy or musical. Though Marc Shaiman's score earned a nomination, none of the songs in the musical, including "The Place Where Lost Things Go," were recognized. 
 
 “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.” With both "A Star As Born" and Queen biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody" moved to the drama section, there was room for another actual musical to move into the best comedy or musical category. Ten years ago, the original "Mamma Mia!" took two nominations, for best comedy or musical, and best actress for Meryl Streep. The sequel was shut out in 2018. 
 
 Amandla Stenberg. Stenberg has earned raves for her performance in timely drama “The Hate U Give” as student Starr Carter, who witnesses the fatal police shooting of her childhood best friend. But the drama was overlooked. 
 
 Hugh Jackman. Given that Jackman nabbed a best-actor nomination last year for "The Greatest Showman," it would have seemed that the beloved Aussie could ride into this year's awards with a nomination for his serious political drama "The Front Runner," playing Democratic presidential candidate Gary Hart. But he did not. 
 
 Meryl Streep. Sure, Streep has a smaller role as Donna in "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again!" than she did in 2008's first film, which earned her a best-actress nomination. And Streep has one memorable scene in "Mary Poppins Returns." But this is three-time Oscar winner Meryl Streep, who has won eight Golden Globes. Any time she's overlooked, it's a snub.

 The two actresses play a mother and daughter in the upcoming action-comedy film Snatched, which sees them embarking on a hijinks-filled trip to South America. They offered a sneak peek of their comedic chemistry onstage at the Golden Globes while presenting the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy. 
 
 "So, in our new movie, Amy and I play mother and daughter," Hawn, 71, told the audience. 
 
 "Yeah, I play the daughter," joked Schumer, 35. "Although I read for both parts." 
 
 "You did?" Hawn asked, giggling her trademark Goldie Hawn giggle. 
 
 "Yes, I did," Schumer said.
– There was no shortage of memorable moments at the 74th annual Golden Globes, from Ryan Gosling thanking his partner, Eva Mendes, for handling their family life at home while he was filming his movie La La Land, to Meryl Streep revealing how one recent moment (a moment related to President-elect Donald Trump) "kind of broke my heart." Some other notable quotes and happenings at the Globes: Streep wasn't the only one to call attention to No. 45. Hugh Laurie also jumped on the anti-Trump allusion train, hinting that this may be the last Golden Globes show because of the new administration's distrust of celebrities and noting he was accepting his best supporting actor award for The Night Manager "on behalf of psychopathic billionaires everywhere," the Hill reports. Fallon himself noted, per Mediaite, that "many people [had been] wondering what it would be like if King Joffrey [from Game of Thrones] had lived. Well, in 12 days we're gonna find out." He also announced the night's votes had been tabulated by the "accounting firm of Ernst, Young, and Putin" and told the crowd that the Globes are "one of the few places left where America still honors the popular vote," People reports. The night's host couldn't resist a callback to the show's opening teleprompter issues, incorporating the ongoing Mariah Carey New Year's Eve saga to make his point. "I just got off the phone with Mariah Carey and she thinks that Dick Clark Productions sabotaged my monologue," he said, per Us Weekly. The New York Daily News recaps some of Fallon's other zingers. Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn appeared as the "Golden Globes comedy duo we never knew we needed," per E! Online, to present the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical, or Comedy. Hawn turned on the loopiness while Schumer played the straight one, with Goldie using the word "mystical" instead of "musical" and announcing the "nominees of the five most tainted men" instead of the five most "talented" ones. "Kurt, do you have her glasses?" Schumer asked Hawn's partner, Kurt Russell, who was sitting in the audience. Two other comedians also made an impact at the awards show, but their turn was more of the "hilariously dark" version, per People. Steve Carell and Kristen Wiig presented the award for best animated feature, but not before they revealed the first animated movies they had seen as kids. "As we were leaving the theater, there standing in the lobby was my mom—and that was the moment that she told my dad that she wanted a divorce," Carell said of his (supposed) Fantasia experience. "March 14, 1981: It was the same day we had to put our dogs down," Wiig recalled of her first alleged viewing of Bambi. Billboard, Entertainment Weekly, and Today.com offer their own takes on the best and worst moments of the show. (There was also a pretty hot kiss between Ryan Reynolds and Andrew Garfield.)
