So here’s what we can learn from tonight:
- La La Land is the film to beat at this stage and Hollywood does love to reward a musical so it’s likely to win the most Oscars next month but …
- Moonlight sneaking in with a surprise win for best motion picture drama does suggest that it could be an Oscars contender too
- Manchester by the Sea has lost a bit of steam after tonight with Casey Affleck still the favourite for best actor, but Michelle Williams and director Kenneth Lonergan likely to miss out on Oscars
- Isabelle Huppert is now the not-so-dark horse for a best actress win, but will the Academy reward such a difficult film?
- The night was a fitting finale for a great year for diversity on the small screen with Atlanta, its star Donald Glover and Tracee Ellis Ross all winning
- HFPA voters like them some Tom Ford perfume
Updated
WINNER: Moonlight, best motion picture – drama
Success! Despite being shut out of all the other awards, Moonlight has won the main award of the night and it’s a hugely deserving win.
A standing ovation from the audience implies that it’s also a popular result at the ceremony. Barry Jenkins, as eloquent as ever, will hopefully be accepting an Oscar next month. And that’s the last award of the night!
Updated
WINNER: Isabelle Huppert (Elle), best actress in a motion picture – drama
Woah! Insane and brilliant surprise here that Huppert wins for her performance in the pitch black rape revenge comedy from Paul Verhoeven. She is equally shocked and it’s a fascinatingly barmy choice from the HFPA. She was an outsider for an Oscar nomination but now this seems like it will happen for sure.
Isabelle Huppert totally guffawed at Leonardo DiCaprio’s pronunciation of her name as well which needs a gif right away. Oh and she carried on talking even after the sound cut out.

WINNER: Casey Affleck (Manchester by the Sea), best actor in a motion picture – drama
The favourite for the award has managed to combat negative publicity from sexual harassment claims made back in 2010 to win big tonight and may well continue to do the same at the Oscars next month.
He’s already apologised for his bedraggled appearance on the red carpet, which is for a film he is currently shooting. He likened it to looking like a caveman. Awkward music cutting him off again.

RECORD ALERT: La La Land is now the most awarded film in Golden Globes history. It has picked up seven awards, beating the previous shared record of six wins by One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Midnight Express.
Updated
Here’s Peter Bradshaw’s five-star review of La La Land from its debut at last year’s Venice film festival:
Updated
WINNER: La La Land, best motion picture – comedy or musical
And there you are. The Globes does love a chance to justify the addition of the word “musical” to this category but it’s also a deserving winner.
Every single winner from the film has crowbarred in a narrative about how daring the film is and what a risk it was to make it. But, come on, it’s a starry musical, a genre that typically picks up awards and scores well at the box office. So lay off that one, yeah?

WINNER: Donald Glover (Atlanta), best actor in a TV series – comedy or musical
More love for Atlanta! A refreshing change here for a category that often cheats by giving the award to Jeffrey Tambor for starring in Transparent, a drama with comedic elements.
Glover is overwhelmed again. He said: “I grew up in a house where magic wasn’t allowed so everyone in here is magic.” He talks about doing things that he never thought possible. Good speech and shows that the small screen choices continue to be a tad more daring than the movie picks.
Updated
WINNER: Damien Chazelle (La La Land), best director
And yeah, we saw this one coming. It’s a big night for the romantic musical and the 31-year-old picks up his second award for the night. He got played off with a musical cue, which seemed a tad harsh.
Which also means that it looks as if Moonlight might go away empty-handed tonight, despite being the most rewarded film of the season so far from the critics circles. It also means that La La Land has really improved its chances at the Oscars.
Updated

Streep calls out Trump
There’s an award for Meryl Streep now because Meryl Streep hasn’t an award for at least a minute. She’s up for best actress in a comedy tonight but she’s winning a special Cecil B DeMille award for being Meryl Streep.
Viola Davis is presenting, her co-star in Doubt, and to be honest, it’s something of a waffle, a bit too Inside the Actors Studio. Plus she appears to be playing a number of characters within the speech which is rather frightening. Stephen Frears, sitting next to Streep, appears bored out of his mind.
A montage of Streep clips reminds us of her record-breaking 30 Golden Globe nominations and is briefly soundtracked by her brilliant ode to narcissism in Death Becomes Her.
Streep, unfamiliar with giving awards speeches, is emotional on stage. She’s also lost her voice! That award-winning voice. She also says she has lost her mind! That award-winning mind. She runs through the diverse nature of the actors in the room and their varied backgrounds and the importance of celebrating this in the face of Trump. “If you kick them all out, you’ll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts.”
She also goes on to bring up Trump’s impression of a disabled reporter which “broke her heart”. She talks about his “instinct to humiliate” and how the press needs to call out Trump for every outrage he causes. It’s a powerful speech and will likely cause some sort of reaction from the man himself.

The third acting win here tonight for The Night Manager as Hiddleston follows Hugh Laurie and Olivia Colman on stage. Also a great night for the Brits, as it usually is.
Hiddleston ends his speech with a story about South Sudan and his work for the UN, hoping to shed some light on a “terrible situation”. Confusingly the camera goes to the confused kids from Stranger Things. He then talks about how aid workers have enjoyed The Night Manager and how that makes him feel proud.

Hidden Fences: a made-up film
As Ben noted earlier in the blog, Jenna Bush Hager managed to invent an entirely new film when she interviewed Pharrell Williams and created a portmanteau out of Fences, the adaptation of the August Wilson play, with Hidden Figures – a film about the unsung black women who helped the US win the space race. Things got worse when Michael Keaton repeated the mistake.
Some people saw the slip as an example of how some in the industry disregard black film-makers, while others took to Twitter to mercilessly rip into it.

There’s a poignant tribute now to Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, who died within a day of each other so recently. It was brief and essentially just a montage but did the job quite nicely. How the Oscars will handle such a terrible year is a tough one.
WINNER: Zootopia, best animated film
The rather subversive and rather brilliant Disney animation wins out here. Rare to see a Disney film win over a Disney/Pixar one. There’s also a great speech about the film’s link to real life and the scary world we’re living in.
But more importantly, Kristen Wiig is yet again the best awards presenter of all. Presenting with Steve Carell, who reminisced about the time he went to see Fantasia before his parents announced their divorce, she also made things awkward by remembering the time she went to go and see Bambi on the day that her three dogs were put down and her grandfather disappeared. Video coming soon.
Updated
WINNER: La La Land, best screenplay
And this movie continues to do well. Damien Chazelle, who is only 31 which is disgusting to fully comprehend, picks up the award. He also wrote Whiplash.
It was presented by Felicity Jones and Diego Luna, the Mexican actor who my mother recently referred to as “that French guy from Star Wars”. Fact!

WINNER: Ryan Gosling (La La Land), best actor – musical/comedy
So this means that a) that “accidental” reveal of Hugh Grant winning this category earlier was wrong and b) La La Land is the one to beat tonight.
In a white suit (TREND?), Gosling wants to do a Mean Girls and tear his award into pieces to share with his fellow La La Landers. Thankfully he doesn’t try and do this because those awards probably don’t rip apart that easy. He also shouts out to his wife Eva Mendes for taking care of his kids while he was working and also her late brother who recently died of cancer.

WINNER: Olivia Colman (The Night Manager), best supporting actress in a series, limited series or TV film
A nice surprise here for the ever-deserving Olivia Colman winning for her role in The Night Manager but she ain’t even there to pick it up.
Her win was announced by Cuba Gooding Jr shouting at everyone and being generally odd. I did say there was a lot of booze at this thing.
Updated
In case you haven’t seen this bit from Fences and that would rely on you never watching any television or going to the cinema and getting there early for the trailers, here’s the scene that will have won Davis her Globe:
WINNER: Viola Davis (Fences), best supporting actress in a motion picture – drama
And the Globes are back on track with predictions. Davis wins here for her role in Fences, the big screen adaptation of the stage drama she also starred in.
Davis always gives good speech and she didn’t fail tonight. Rather emotional, she went through a long list of thanks and made a touching connection between the patriarchal figure in the film and her real father.

OK so some learnings so far:
- It’s not looking good for Moonlight so far but well, was the starry and often vapid Globes ever going to reward a low budget film about a black gay man? I will take all of this back if it goes on to win anything and I hope I am wrong
- Their small screen choices seem somewhat more daring and diverse than their big screen picks
- The People vs OJ Simpson is never going to stop winning awards
- Jimmy Fallon is, ahem, not Tina Fey and Amy Poehler or Ricky Gervais, even
- I am sick of TV spots for A Dog’s Purpose

WINNER: La La Land, best original song
Christ, they are coming thick and fast now. Another predictable BUT deserved win for the song City of Stars from the hit musical.
In case you don’t know the rather lovely song, here it is:
Updated
WINNER: La La Land, best original score
A major non-surprise here as Justin Hurwitz picks up the Globe for his rousing score for the only musical in the category. It’s a predictable win but a much deserved one. Damn, the songs are already so recognisable that the opening skit utilised one of them.
Updated
Just a rather cool fact here: Tracee Ellis Rose is the first black actor to win in her category for 35 years!
WINNER: Hugh Laurie (The Night Manager), best supporting actor in a series, limited series or TV film
It’s Laurie’s third Globe and the first of the night for The Night Manager, which lost out on best limited series to The People vs OJ Simpson.
He refers to it as the “last Golden Globes” and then ribs the Republican party. He also accepts the award on behalf of “psychopathic billionaires everywhere”. Also TREND like Cuba Gooding Jr he appears to be wearing some sort of tartan suit.
Plus he’s the first actor to be played off by some music. Harsh.

Donald Glover, and his incredible brown velvet suit, is rather overwhelmed. He said: “I really want to thank Atlanta and all of the black folks in Atlanta just for being alive and for being amazing people.”
He also thanked Migos!

WINNER: Tracee Ellis Ross (Black-ish), best actress in a TV series – musical/comedy
A nice surprise here. The deserving star of Black-ish picking up her first Golden Globe and receiving a warm round of applause. Our money was on Issa Rae.

He has devoted his award to a PA who worked on the show who has died which is rather touching.

The LA Times managed to grab a few moments with the actor, who is up for a gong in the best actress category (comedy), to talk about politics and the Women’s March on Washington, kind of:
“Wow, there are so many beautiful dresses here this year,” said Golden Globe nominee Tracee Ellis Ross as she looked around the red carpet Sunday afternoon. “Look at all this gorgeousness, these women!”
Ellis said she’s especially excited for the women’s march later this month in Washington, DC. “I wish I could be there, but I can’t due to scheduling conflicts” said the Black-ish star. “But just the idea that so many women [are] getting to express ourselves, our power, on that scale is a beautiful thing for the world.”
She then lifted her hands and shimmied her bling-studded fingers in the air.
What a way to sign off.
As mentioned, the Globes tend to bring out Hollywood’s more playful side and it’s already been on show this past weekend with Amy Schumer and Ryan Reynolds sitting down early IN THE WRONG SEATS! What are they like huh??

An awards race wouldn’t be an wards race without some controversy and this year’s behind the scenes story is a particularly uneasy one. Casey Affleck, favorite to pick up best actor for his role in Manchester by the Sea, was sued for sexual harassment in 2010. Here’s the full tale:
Nicole Kidman just confirmed that she is part of Jimmy Fallon’s opening number. Here’s an incredibly awkward reminder of why that’s incredibly awkward news:
IMPORTANT: an NBC presenter just told Pharrell he was nominated for his work on Hidden Fences. Pharrell was polite enough not to tell her she’d just made up the name of a film.
ALSO IMPORTANT: Al Roker referred to Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel as Jaystin Timberlake and Jessica Alba.

Natalie Portman has arrived and she is the frontrunner for best actress in a drama for her role in the unconventional biopic Jackie. She’s pregnant and wearing Prada. Sadly our fashion expert is at London Fashion Week so that’s literally all I can say about her dress.
And let the Trump chat begin. Insecure star/writer Issa Rae, who is nominated for best actress in a TV comedy/musical, was asked about the reality star turned president-elect and gave some rather bleak red carpet chat about what’s to come:

Here’s a promo for the show which, through the power of montage, makes it seem like it might just be the most exciting night of our lives:
TREND ALERT: Michael Shannon and Sterling K Brown are both wearing sunglasses on the red carpet. Which seems rude but sure.
Will it be Moonlight or Manchester by the Sea? More smugging to be done here with Guardian film critic Peter Bradshaw telling you who will in but also who should win because life isn’t fair and it never will be:

This clip featuring Roots drummer Questlove, really gets to the heart of what fame is all about. Glamour and passive aggressive instructions from photographers go hand in hand. OVER HERE! Thank you!?!

Word on the street (Twitter) is that the opening of the ceremony is going to be Stranger Things-themed. But this just-released clip also suggests some La La Land-aping. Subtle shade from one of Jimmy Fallon’s NBC cohorts earlier: “He may not be controversial but he is musical”
Want to say the name of the winner before a bejeweled celebrity does? Well, if you want to be that guy or that girl then smug away with predictions from our experts. First up, here’s what’s probably taking home the small screen awards:
It’s here! That Hollywood awards show that isn’t the Oscars!
The Golden Globes, often seen as the slightly less highbrow cousin of the Academy awards, is actually a lot more fun. It eschews many of the drier categories (no best use of a pause or smoothest transition here!) and allows the many starry attendees to get drunk throughout.
Typically, the host has always been a bit looser too so we’ve enjoyed Amy Poehler and Tina Fey casually eviscerate A-listers and Ricky Gervais ensure that he receives zero LA-stamped Christmas cards forever more. This year, we have the slightly safer option of Jimmy Fallon but he’s already promised Trump jokes and, let’s face it, he owes us an electoral college worth of them after he televised the pair’s sleepover last year.
It’s also a promising crop up for awards this year, a slightly fresher pack than usual with La La Land, Moonlight and Manchester by the Sea leading the film side and The Crown, The Night Manager and The People vs OJ Simpson making a strong showing.
But who will win? Who will lose? Who will mispronounce a nominee’s name and go viral? We’ll be here with you all damn night providing answers and probably some yawns too. Stick with us!
