Keep up with everything happening at the 2018 Golden Globes
By Josh Hill
The Golden Globes brought out the best and brightest in Hollywood, but what were the moments you need to know about?
Awards season is, by design, super pretentious. There’s nothing more eye-roll inducing than the idea of a bunch of rich famous people celebrating each other’s work. But because the cream that rises to the top in Hollywood is so sweet and enjoyable, nights like the Golden Globes don’t feel as pretentious as they otherwise might feel.
Maybe it’s the marriage of television and film that ensures everyone has a rooting interest. Perhaps it’s the way the Globes predict what the Oscar race looks like down the home stretch that invests us. Mostly, it’s the coming together of so many of our favorite stars that we never know what to expect. No matter what the year, there’s always something that we all can’t stop talking about.
Remember when Chrissy Teigen had a meme-worthy reaction to John Legend winning an award? How about Tommy Lee Jones being stoic and uninterested in being a punchline? This year will feature a slew of shots at the sexual harassment that has been going on in Hollywood, including accusations made against former Globes winners.
It’s going to be a fantastic night of entertainment, and host Seth Meyers is sure to give us what we want. Whether it’s digging at people we’re glad aren’t there or the shots at Donald Trump we all know are coming.
The winners will go down in history but so too will the moments that we all witnessed tonight. Which ones will stand out the most?
Note: This will be updated live. Check back all night long to find out the next moment you’ll be talking about tomorrow.
Seth Meyers Scathing Opening Monologue
Seth Meyers destroyed all the right people in his opening monologue.
The best and most scathing joke was aimed at Harvey Weinstein. Meyers noted that the sexual predator wasn’t at the awards show, but he would be back in twenty years when he’s the first ever person to be booed during the In Memoriam.
The Speeches were lit
Sterling K. Brown won another award for his portrayal of Randal Pearson on This Is Us, and delivered one of the best speeches of the night.
Rachel Brosnahan won her first ever Golden Globe award for The Marvelous Ms. Maisel and said that there were more female stories there that need to be told.
Guillermo Del Toro wasn’t going to be hurried off stage
One of the most beloved directors working today is Guillermo Del Toro. When he won his first ever Best Director award for The Shape of Water, he wasn’t about to be played off the stage.
Natalie Portman flexed all over Best Director
Portman was not impressed with the lack of female directors nominated this year. She spoke for us all.
Oprah gave a speech that shifted tectonic plates
One of the best moments not only of the night but of awards shows over the last few years, was Oprah’s speech. She accepted the Cecil B. DeMille Award and gave a rousing and inspirational speech for the ages.
Try and find something more profound than that.
