The Golden Globes aired Sunday night and the unofficial kickoff to Hollywood\u2019s award season served glamour, laughs and a few sentimental tears. <\/p>\n
Globe voters honored TV and films that explored themes of aging, immigration, acceptance and survival, but the tone of the show was largely light and celebratory, in keeping with an event historically considered Hollywood\u2019s biggest \u2013 and booziest \u2013 party. <\/p>\n
From host Nikki Glaser\u2019s best lines to some sincerely sweet acceptance speeches, highlights from the 82nd Golden Globes follow below: <\/p>\n
Globes host Nikki Glaser \u2013 the first standalone, female host for the event \u2013 did what she does best: playfully roast celebrities. <\/p>\n
Glaser kicked off her monologue by cracking a joke about the show being \u201cOzempic\u2019s biggest night,\u201d referencing the popular weight loss drug, and later poked fun at Timothe\u00e9 Chalamet\u2019s name (and facial hair), even featuring Adam Sandler saying Chalament\u2019s name in his signature comedic cadence. <\/p>\n
Double nominee Selena Gomez and her fianc\u00e9 Benny Blanco also made the monologue. Glaser joked that Blanco, who accompanied his fianc\u00e9e Gomez to the show, was only there \u201cbecause of the genie who granted him that wish.\u201d <\/p>\n
Leader in the telecast, Glaser hilariously attempted to combine \u201cWicked\u201d and \u201cConclave\u201d into a song called \u201cPope-ular\u201d while wearing a cardinal or a pope hat and clutching Glinda\u2019s wand. The bit was short-lived though \u2013 as she began to sing, Glaser mimed getting a note from producers in her earpiece letting her know the number \u201csucked.\u201d <\/p>\n
About midway through the show, Glaser took stock of how it was going so far by presenting a tally of who had been thanked during acceptance speeches. <\/p>\n
Turns out cast and crew scored big with 11 shoutouts, moms got enough love for a second place ranking, while TV host Mario Lopez got a mention. But, one who did not get any love at all was \u201cGod, creator of the universe,\u201d Himself. <\/p>\n
\u201cNo surprise in this Godless town,\u201d Glaser joked. <\/p>\n
Sunday\u2019s ceremony certainly had heart, in part, due to the many nominees who brought their parents to the event. Several winners also made sure to single out their loved ones while on stage. <\/p>\n
Zoe Saldana, who won a statuette for best performance by a female actor in a supporting role in any motion picture for \u201cEmilia P\u00e9rez,\u201d brought her mother Asalia Nazario along as her date. Ariana Grande, who was nominated for her performance in a supporting capacity for \u201cWicked,\u201d also brought her mom, Joan Grande, while actress Margaret Qualley brought along her father, Paul. <\/p>\n
Glen Powell\u2019s mom and dad Cyndy Powell and Glen Powell Sr. proudly accompanied their son and celebrated the actor being a first-time nominee for his Netflix film, \u201cHitman.\u201d <\/p>\n
Globe winner Adrien Brody\u2019s speech acknowledging his parents, who were also on site, provided one of the most moving moments of the evening. He thanked his mother and immigrant ancestors for their sacrifices that paralleled that of his \u201cBrutalist\u201d character. <\/p>\n
Surprise winner Fernanda Torres, who took home the trophy for best female actor in a drama motion picture for Brazilian film \u201cI\u2019m Still Here,\u201d also paid tribute to her mother by dedicating her win to her. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou have no idea she was here 25 years ago and this is like a proof that art can endure through life, even in difficult moments like this,\u201d she said. \u201cThe same thing that is happening now in the world, with so much fear and this is a film that helps us to think how to survive in tough times like this. So to my mother, to my family\u2026 thank you very muc\ufeffh.\u201d <\/p>\n
Ahead of the ceremony, Torres said she was the second Brazilian to be nominated, her mother Fernanda Montenegro being the first for 1998\u2019s \u201cCentral Station.\u201d Her mother is also her costar in the Walter Salles-directed film. <\/p>\n
The Globes had a mix of funny, gracious and moving acceptance speeches. <\/p>\n
First-time winner Demi Moore, who won for best lead actress in a musical or comedy for her performance in the horror-comedy \u201cThe Substance,\u201d gave a tearful speech about self-acceptance that brought many in the Beverly Hilton ballroom to their feet. <\/p>\n
\u201cI really wasn\u2019t expecting that. I\u2019m just in shock right now,\u201d Moore said when she took the stage. \u201cI\u2019ve been doing this a long time, like over 45 years, and this is the first time I\u2019ve ever won anything as an actor and I\u2019m just so humbled and so grateful.\u201d <\/p>\n
Moore, 62, recalled an exchange with a movie producer about 30 years ago who called her a \u201cpopcorn actress.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cAt that time, I made that mean that this wasn\u2019t something that I was allowed to have,\u201d she said of her win. \u201cAnd I bought in and I believed that and that corroded me over time to the point where I thought a few years ago that maybe this was it. Maybe I was complete, maybe I\u2019ve done what I was supposed to do.\u201d <\/p>\n
She said that the script for \u201cThe Substance\u201d came to her while she was in \u201cthis low point\u201d of her life. <\/p>\n
\u201c(Then) I had this magical, bold, courageous, out of the box, absolutely bonkers script come across my desk called \u2018The Substance,\u2019 and the universe told me that you\u2019re not done,\u201d Moore continued. <\/p>\n
Colin Farrell credited his makeup artist and craft services team for his win for \u201cThe Penguin.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cNo one to thank on this one, I did it all by myself,\u201d Farrell joked when accepting his award. He went on to say that \u201cit takes a village\u201d to create a series and thanked the cast and crew, including the prosthetics artists and \u201cCarolina\u201d from craft service, who gave him much-needed refreshments while he was overheating on set in the heavy makeup required for the role. <\/p>\n
When the team from \u201cWicked\u201d won for cinematic and box office achievement, director Jon Chu spoke about the joy of bringing people together to promote understanding and connection through movies. <\/p>\n
Many of the most luminous guests lit up the Globes with truly golden looks. Stars including host Glaser, Ariana Grande, Cate Blanchett, Kristen Bell, Mikey Madison, Mindy Kaling and Elle Fanning all donned golden-hued gowns. <\/p>\n
Glaser turned up on the red carpet wearing a custom Prabal Gurung dress, telling Women\u2019s Wear Daily that her tiny gold spherical purse was just for show. She added that the bag is empty but joked that it can double as a weapon. <\/p>\n
Kaling was seen wearing a metallic gold column gown by Ashi Studio, while Oscar-winner Blanchett turned heads in a gold Louis Vuitton number. <\/p>\n
Additionally, there were plenty of shimmering satins and metallics on display, including Angelina Jolie\u2019s silver beaded Alexander McQueen creation and Moore\u2019s iridescent champagne gown. But while many attendees opted for classic silhouettes in demure shades, there were also pops of bright color \u2014 red, in particular. <\/p>\n
Dakota Fanning, nominated for her role in \u201cRipley,\u201d turned heads in a strapless red Dolce & Gabbana bodice gown with a daring thigh slit. Elsewhere, Comedian Ali Wong (in Balenciaga), Sheryl Lee Ralph (in custom St. John) and Emma Stone (in Louis Vuitton) also impressed in shades ranging from ruby to burgundy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
