Not only is "Parasite" one of the year's most talked about films, but now it's a Golden Globe Award winner.

Writer, director and producer Bong Joon-ho accepted the award for best foreign language film for the South Korean film about a poor family scheming to work for a wealthy family.

Through an interpreter the director elicited cheers when he said "Once you overcome the one inch tall barrier of subtitles you will be introduced to so many more amazing films."

From CNN's Lisa Respers France

Russell Crowe was awarded best actor in a TV series, limited series or TV movie for "The Loudest Voice," but he wasn't there to collect it.

Instead Crowe was in his native Australia protecting his family from the fires.

He sent ahead a statement in case he won, which presenter Jennifer Aniston read for him.

"Make no mistake the tragedy unfolding in Australia is climate change based. We need to act based on science, move our global work force to renewable energy and respect our planet for the unique and amazing place it is. That way we all have a future. Thank you."

"I was so sure that I shouldn't win that I already thanked everybody," he said in his acceptance speech.

Elton John got a standing ovation when he took the stage at the Golden Globes to introduce a clip from "Rocketman." He also had to remove his red glasses since they were preventing him from reading his lines on the teleprompter.

All good, he removed them and plugged his film, up for three Golden Globe nominations, including best motion picture musical or comedy.

Ramy Youssef wins.

"This is thanks to God and Hulu," Youssef said, joking about his lack of fame, "Everyone's like is this an editor?"

Out the gate Ricky Gervais gives us the expected

CNN's Lisa Respers France

"I don't care."

That was Ricky Gervais' theme for Sunday night's Golden Globes.

The British actor joked that it was the last time he would ever host the show so he was clearly going for broke.

From joking that he arrived in a car that had a license plate made by Felicity Huffman, to calling Joe Pesci "Baby Yoda" and teasing that it was the year of "pedophile films" with "Surviving R. Kelly" and "Leaving Neverland" Gervais was far from politically correct.

He even managed to get in a plug for his Netflix series "After Life" revealing that since there was a season 2 coming clearly the main character stuck around.

"In the end he didn't kill himself, just like Jeffrey Epstein," Gervais said to groans in the room. "Shut up, I know he's your friend."

Gervais also had some fun with the length of the film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."

"Leonardo DiCaprio attended the premiere and by the end his date was too old for him," Gervais said.

Even Leo laughed.

Armed with that smile and that charm, Brad Pitt walked the red carpet at the Golden Globes with his old Brad Pitt swagger.

Clad in a tux and his vintage long-ish blond hair, the actor talked reading the script for Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time ... In Hollywood." Pitt revealed that Tarantino has a very specific process for script reading.

"There's only one script printed," Pitt said to E! Live From the Red Carpet. "You go to his [Tarantino's] house, talk about it for about an hour ... he's a good host."
