Jimmy Fallon started off the show with a spectacular opening number that was inspired by La La Land and filled with celebrity cameos. Among the famous people involved in the musical beginning were Nicole Kidman, Amy Adams,
John Travolta,
the Kids from Stranger Things (Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Finn Wolfhard),
Kit Harington (Mr. Jon Snow, from Game of Thrones, himself),
Evan Rachel Wood (Westworld) Justin Timberlake and many more.
(Check out the entire opening number above)
Jimmy kept things light during his monologue, choosing to say thank you to everyone in the crowd for their hard work, instead of roasting them. The only person who got kind of roasted was Donald Trump and he wasn’t even there. Jimmy said that his presidency was going to be the same as King Joffrey(one of the nastiest characters from Game of Thrones)’s monarchy.
Another celebrity who slammed Mr. Trump was Meryl Streep, during her acceptance speech for a Lifetime Achievement Award. She mentioned how heartbroken she was when Donald made fun of a handicapped person. She also talked about how diverse Hollywood is and that if all the foreigners get kicked out then you will basically get rid of all the arts. She finished her speech by quoting Carrie Fischer…
However, not everything during the Awards Ceremony was political. I was extremely happy to see that La La Land won 7 Golden Globes (record for most GGs won by a movie) including best musical or comedy motion picture, best director (Damien Chazelle), best actor (Ryan Gosling) and best actress (Emma Stone).
Ryan Gosling was really sweet during his acceptance speech. He thanked his wife for allowing him to have such a great experience making La La Land while she stayed home raising their daughter, being pregnant and taking care of her brother who had cancer. He dedicated his award to the memory of his brother in law…. Oh and for some reason, when he was announced as the winner, Ryan Reynolds and Andrew Garfield kissed…
Emma Stone was as adorable as ever when she won her first GG for best actress. She thanked her mom and said that the movie was for dreamers. She also had a moment during the night where she had an uncomfortable hug with director Damien Chazelle…
Unfortunately, none of my favorite shows, Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, or West World, won the best drama series award. Instead, The Crown took the… crown (small chuckle), and that’s OK, I heard that it is a really fascinating show. It was awesome seeing Viola Davis win the best supporting actress in a motion picture award for Fences. Zootopia triumphed over Moana for the best animated film of the year and Moonlight won the best motion picture drama award.
Besides the trophies, there was a new tv spot for Beauty and the Beast that aired during the podcast and is worth mentioning…
and a skit where actors talked about what jobs they had before they acted…
