It’s a wrap for the Golden Globes.
So what did we think?
Was the fashion up to par? Did Ricky Gervais cross the line with some of his jokes (some of which seemed to make the room squirm)? Are the winners Sunday night a foreshadow to the Academy Awards?
One clear winner beyond the trophies was the film “1917.”
The World War I film is in wide release soon and winning best motion picture drama will probably give it a boost.
At least Twitter thinks so.
“1917” has won best drama film at the Golden Globes, beating out fellow nominees “The Irishman,” “Marriage Story,” “Joker” and “The Two Popes.”
The film, from director Sam Mendes, is based on a World War I mission that director Sam Mendes aimed to film as one continuous shot.
Earlier in the night, Mendes took home the award for best director for the film, thanking his fellow nominees.
“There’s not one director in the world who is not in the shadow of Martin Scorsese, I just had to say that,” Mendes said.
Renée Zellweger won best actress in a motion picture, drama for playing Judy Garland in “Judy.”
The actress had been out of the limelight for a minute and reminded us of that in her acceptance speech.
“Well hi everybody, it’s nice to see you,” she said. “Y’all look pretty good 17 years later.”
This win is probably sure to bolster Oscar buzz for the actress.
Joaquin Phoenix is quirky. He’s an artist. What did you expect?
Accepting his award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama for “Joker,” the actor jumped into climate change, and praising the awards show for the “bold move of making tonight plant based,” referencing the meat free menu at tonight’s event.
Phoenix also thanked his fellow nominees, saying, “I really do feel honored to be honored with you.”
He thanked “Joker” director Todd Phillips, calling him an “amazing friend and collaborator.”
Phoenix added that he was “such a pain in the ass” he can’t believe people on the film put up with him.
He thanked his fianceé Rooney Mara, and sent well wishes to Australia.
“Together hopefully we can be unified and hopefully make some changes,” he said.
Winning a Golden Globe is a cool thing to do while awaiting the birth of your first child.
That’s just what Quentin Tarantino did Sunday night. His ode to 1969, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” took home the best motion picture, musical or comedy award.
Tarantino earlier shouted out his wife Daniella Pick who he said was at their home in Tel Aviv awaiting the birth of their baby.
When Will Ferrell leaned in to Pierce Brosnan and said, “My God you are good looking,” we felt that.
The pair were presenting the award for best motion picture, musical or comedy when Ferrell took the opportunity to pay the former James Bond some compliments.
It’s really something, Ferrell said. “I love everything that’s going on here…the hair, the beard. Thank you.”
Thank you indeed.
For the record “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” won.
Taron Egerton channeled Elton John then thanked him as he took the stage for his win for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy - Rocketman at the Golden Globes.
Egerton took home the award for playing the music legend in “Rocketman,” and was up against some stiff competition.
He beat out Daniel Craig for his role in “Knives Out,” Roman Griffin Davis in “Jojo Rabbit,” Leonardo DiCaprio in “Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood” and Eddie Murphy in “Dolemite Is My Name.”
Egerton was a first-time nominee.
Awkwafina won best actress in a motion picture, musical or comedy for “The Farewell.”
It was her first nomination and her first win.
History made: Scoring the trophy also made her the first performer of Asian descent to win a Golden Globe in a lead actress film category.
Awkwafina thanked some of her costars, her director Lulu Wang, her late mom and her father, Wally.
“I told you I’d get a job dad,” she said.
You got to love an actor who has been in the industry for decades and still says “Holy moly” when he wins.
That’s just what Brad Pitt did when he scored best supporting actor in a motion picture for “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”
Pitt thanked “the man, the myth, the legend” director Quentin Tarantino and his “partner in crime,” Leonardo DiCaprio.
Pitt even threw in a “Titanic” reference by saying, “Still, I would have shared the raft.”
We are still mad about Jack and that raft!
Pitt also had jokes about his missed out on date fo the Golden Globes.
“I wanted to bring my mom, but any woman I stand next to they say I’m dating so it would have been awkward,” he said, grinning.
Patricia Arquette used her moment in the spotlight at the Golden Globe Awards Sunday to describe the US as a country “on the brink of war” amid heightening tension with Iran while urging the audience to “beg and plead for everyone we know to vote in 2020.”
Michelle Williams wins Best Actress, limited series or TV movie for “Fosse/Verdon,” but has a much deeper message for everyone watching.
Williams’ date was her go-to awards show bff, Busy Phillips. It was recently confirmed to CNN that Williams is pregnant and engaged to “Hamilton” director Thomas Kail.
It took a lot of people to make “Chernobyl.”
The Lithuanian, Ukrainian, Swedish, French and English crews got show outs after the series won.
The miniseries chronicled the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of April 1986 and the cleanup efforts that followed.
Australia was on lots of people’s minds Sunday night.
Celebrated actress and Aussie Cate Blanchette noted that there were lots of Australians in the room when she introduced best picture nominee “Joker.”
She took a moment to hail the volunteer firefighters.
“When one country faces a climate disaster we all face a climate disaster,” she said. “We’re in it together so thank you very much.”
As Gervais pointed out there was controversy when it came to the director category.
But rest assured, he said, as he had a talk with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association which assured him that would never happen again.
“Because working with all the major studios they’ve agreed to go back to the way things were when they didn’t even hire women directors,” Gervais joked. “And that will solve the problem.”
Sam Mendes has too many people to thank for his latest film, “1917.” The movie’s producers and actors. An “incredible” cast and crew.
His wife Ali [Alison Balsom] “for her love and support.”
But ultimately, he thanked his grandfather, the inspiration for the film, who, Mendes said, “signed up for The First World War at 17.”
He concluded that he fervently “hopes it never happens again.”
Who doesn’t love Tom Hanks?
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association clearly does – they honored the esteemed actor Sunday with the Cecil B. DeMille Award on Sunday night.
The award celebrates “outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment.”
Charlize Theron presented the honor to him, having been directed by him on the film “That Thing You Do!”
“He just makes the word a better place,” Theron said of Hanks.
The always humble Hanks, who has been battling a cold, said “Most of these people in this room I would pay to see get their car wash.”
He then got teary thanking his wife, Rita Wilson, and his five children.
Hanks also paid tribute to many of the people he worked with from his “Bosom Buddies” TV show cast members Peter Scolari and Holland Taylor to major movie stars like Meryl Streep and Denzel Washington.
Hanks speech focused mostly on the work - as his career has to great success.
“There’s an undeniable power that you just have to say, ‘Hey, I did work that was good enough that ended up touching people on a very personal level,’ ” the four time Golden Globe winner earlier told Savannah Guthrie on “Today.”
Every year a Miss or Mr. Golden Globes is selected from the children of Hollywood stars.
This year the Golden Globes doubled up.
Pierce Brosnan’s sons Paris and Dylan are the first ever pair of brothers to serve as Golden Globe Ambassadors.
Siblings have shared the duties before.
In 2017 Sylvester Stallone’s daughters Sophia, Sistine and Scarlet served as ambassadors.
Best actress in a TV drama series went to Olivia Colman for playing Queen Elizabeth in “The Crown.”
Colman was a bit gobsmacked.
“I had already gotten a little bit boozy because I thought this wasn’t going to happen,” she said during her acceptance speech.
Colman won an Oscar last year for her role as Queen Anne in “The Favourite.”
Patricia Arquette got political as she scooped up the Supporting Actress award for her role in “The Act,” thanking her fellow nominees and Hulu, then asking everyone to vote.
Calling her “The Act” costar Joey King “a gift,” she quickly acknowledged her kids, agent and manager, but moved on to tackle bigger things.
“While I love my kids so much, I beg of us all to give them a better world,” Arquette said, adding that what she wants most is the world to change for the better.
“Vote in 2020 and I beg and plead for everyone we know to vote in 2020,” she said.
