The first big celebrity awards show of the year is the Golden Globes, where the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) rewards the best in movies and TV with little statuettes.
The 74th Golden Globe Awards ceremony took place on Sunday, Jan. 8 in Beverly Hills, California. 2016 was a strange year in entertainment, with many more flops than successes at the movie theatre, but TV bursting at the seams with high-quality, engrossing work.
Musical film La La Land, starring Canada’s own Ryan Gosling (who also won the Best Actor Golden Globe Sunday night), led the Golden Globe nominations with seven. The movie not only won all of the awards it was nominated for, but it broke a Golden Globes record for most awards won by a single movie. Critically acclaimed film Moonlight win Best Picture, Drama, while losing in the acting categories.
In the TV categories, The People vs. O.J. Simpson took home the award for Best Television Limited Series, Atlanta won the Best Television Comedy in its inaugural season, and Netflix’s The Crown won Best Television Drama. There was a brief memorial video sequence dedicated to late actresses Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher, who died within one day of each other at the end of 2016.
Meryl Streep received the Cecil B. DeMille award, and gave a rousing speech to Americans about the state of their nation.
Late-night host Jimmy Fallon hosted the Globes ceremony for the first time this year, taking over from acerbic comedian Ricky Gervais. The HFPA voted on the winners.
