Globes Go Global (with a Side of Snark)
Nikki Glaser hosted the Golden Globes last night, delivering a monologue that was sharp but not overly vicious. She poked fun at Hollywood’s ego («The Justice Department is Hollywood’s best editor»), LA’s barren industry landscape, and even Leo DiCaprio’s penchant for younger girlfriends.
The awards themselves were a mix of expected wins and some surprises.
Here are some highlights:
* «Hacks» and «Adolescence» cleaned up: Jean Smart snagged Best Actress in a Comedy Series for «Hacks,» while Owen Cooper, in a tearful speech, took home Best Supporting Actor for «Adolescence.»
* Seth Rogen’s win for «The Studio» was meta: He joked about beating out his idols Martin Short and Steve Martin, whose characters were depicted attending the Globes in his own show.
* «Dying for Sex» won big: Michelle Williams took home Best Actress in a Limited Series for her role, although she wasn’t there to accept. The series also snagged Best Motion Picture Made for Television.
* K-Pop Demon Hunters reigns supreme: This unexpected winner took home both Best Song and Best Animated Feature, proving that sometimes the Globes have a taste for the unconventional.
Other notable moments:
* Fran Drescher interrupted Nikki Glaser’s singing, calling her voice «annoying.» Classic Fran!
* Rose Byrne thanked her parents for buying Paramount+ so they could watch the show. Priorities!
* Stephen Graham dedicated his Best Actor in a Limited Series win to Bob Marley and his mother.
The full list of winners can be found online, but this recap should give you a taste of the night’s highlights (and lowlights). As always, the Golden Globes are a reminder that even in Hollywood, awards season is just as much about entertainment as it is about recognizing excellence.
