After Seth Meyers’ Spacey-slamming and Spielberg-embarrassing monologue, the Golden Globes ceremony immediately kicked off with the actual awards, wasting no time with the elaborate gags and gimmicks of the Oscars or Emmys.
The first string of awards were mostly predictable-yet-wholly-deserved, including Nicole Kidman winning for her work on Big Little Lies, Sam Rockwell winning for Three Billboards, Elisabeth Moss winning for The Handmaid’s Tale (and quoting Margaret Atwood in her speech), and Sterling K. Brown winning for This Is Us. The Handmaid’s Tale won Best TV Drama in a bit of a surprise, winning a famously tough category by beating Game Of Thrones and The Crown, and James Franco winning for The Disaster Artist created one of the most unexpected award show moments of all time: Tommy Wiseau himself hopping on stage to a round of applause.
Later, Kirk Douglas (a surprising choice, given that he’s faced some allegations of his own) helped present the Best Screenplay award to Three Billboard’s Martin McDonaugh, Coco won Best Animated Film (with Pixar co-founder John Lasseter being left out of the acceptance speech), and everyone had to politely smile as Get Out was inexplicably introduced as a comedy. Basically, even as regular award show time constraints demanded that everything move a bit faster, the realities of the entertainment industry were hard to ignore—and that’s partly because of Natalie Portman’s brilliant note about all of the Best Director nominees being men.
Before the real big awards wrapped up the evening, Guillermo Del Toro tearfully accepted Best Director (and managed to get the music to shut up for a second), Saoirse Ronan gave a shoutout to her mom on FaceTime when she won for Lady Bird, and Big Little Lies made presenter Emma Watson’s night by winning Best Limited Series. Then, Lady Bird won Best Comedy, Geena Davis requested that the Best Actor nominees donate half of their pay to their female co-stars (Gary Oldman won the award), Frances McDormand won Best Actress and claimed her spot as an awards show icon with her great reactions to virtually everything, and then Barbara Streisand—the only woman to ever win a Golden Globe for directing—presented Three Billboards Outside Of Ebbing, Missouri the Best Drama award.
