Host Jimmy Fallon‘s song and dance opening of the 74th Annual Golden Globes was an homage to La La Land and it ended up being a good call, as the film took home seven awards — a new record. The movie-musical beat the previous record for most Globes won by a One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (’75) and Midnight Express (’78), with six wins each.
The film won in every category it was nominated in. Damien Chazelle won the awards for screenplay and directing; Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone took home the awards for best actor and actress, respectively; composer Justin Hurwitz won for best score as well as best original song with lyricists Benj Pasek and Justin Paul for City of Stars and it took home best picture as well.
Amy Schumer & Goldie Hawn did a funny presentation as did Kristen Wiig and Steve Carrell who introduced Best Animated Film (Zootopia) in the saddest/ most hilarious way recalling family tragedies related to their first animated films.
Hugh Laurie, in his acceptance speech, hit upon the theme of the night when he said he was happy he’d won at the last Golden Globes saying since it was sponsored by the Hollywood Foreign Press, they were losing on all fronts.
Overwhelmingly, the best moment of the night was Viola Davis moving introduction of Meryl, followed by Streep’s jaw-dropping speech, where she called our POTUS-elect out for making fun of a disabled person, without using Trump’s name. She ended by saying,
“As my friend Priness Leia once told me, ‘Take your broken hear and make it into art.“
