The 2015 Golden Globes is the best Hollywood party disguised as an awards show. Live on NBC from the 
Three-time hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler did not disappoint. The ladies looked lovely as they took the stage and started right in on the audience saying, “welcome you despicable, spoiled, minimally talented brats.”
They joked about the controversy over the Interview saying “forcing us all to pretend we wanted to see it.” They joked about Boyhood saying “it shows that there are still roles for women over 40 as long as you get hired when you’re under 40.” And they followed that with a game of Who Would You Rather.
They also joked about Selma and said: “the civil rights movement totally worked and now everything is fine.”
The ladies then focused on Into the Woods teasing Meryl about playing the witch and went head-on into the Bill Cosby controversy by saying “sleeping beauty just thought she was getting coffee with Bill Cosby.”
Jennifer Aniston presented the first award and she hiked her dress up a little too high coming up the stairs. No wardrobe malfunction though. The award was for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture and the Golden Globe went to J.K. Simmons for Whiplash.
The next award was for Best Supporting Actress in Mini-Series or TV Movie and the Golden Globe when to Joanne Froggatt for Downton Abbey.
The Golden Globe Award for Best Mini-Series or TV Movie went to Fargo, the Award for Best Actor in a Mini-Series made for Television went to Billy Bob Thornton for Fargo.
Margaret Cho helped them joke about North Korea again by making Meryl Streep stand up with her while holding a magazine with Kim Jong-un on the cover and take a picture.
The Golden Globe for Best Actress in a TV Series Musical or Comedy went to Gina Rodriguez for Jane the Virgin. She ran to the stage and was crying even before she got there. She said the award represents so much more than her, it represents a culture that wants to see themselves as heroes.
Up next was the Golden Globe for Best TV Series, Musical or Comedy and the award went to Transparent.
Best Original Score for a Motion Picture went to Jóhann Jóhannsson for The Theory Of Everything.
Prince was one of the surprises of the evening. He presented the award for Best Original Song in a Motion Picture and the Golden Globe went to John Legend and Common for Glory. It’s an understatement to say they were thrilled and honored for the win.
Up next was the award for Best Supporting Actor in a Series, Mini-Series or TV Movie and the Golden Globe went to Matt Bomer for The Normal Heart.
Ricky Gervais called the audience rich, overprivileged celebrities while holding his glass of wine to announce the nominees for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy and the Globe went to Amy Adams for Big Eyes. I’m sure the entire audience was more than glad that Ricky was only given a moment to insult them this year.
Kevin Hart and Salma Hayek were the next presenters for the Best Animated Film and the Golden Globe went to How to Train Your Dragon 2.
Jared Leto presented the nominees for the Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture and the Golden Globe went to Patricia Arquette for Boyhood.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler came back with Margaret Cho still playing a Korean character and said this is not a show like it would be in Korea. Margaret really got into character and did a military march across the stage to leave.
Best Screenplay for a Motion Picture Golden Globe Award went to Alejandro González Iñárritu, Nicolás Giacobone, Alexander Dinelaris, Armando Bo for Birdman.
Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin were among the surprises of the evening. They looked fabulous as they presented the award for Best Actor in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy. The Golden Globe went to Jeffrey Tambor for Transparent.
The next award was for Best Foreign Language Film and the Globe went to Leviathan, Russia.
Best Actress in a Mini-Series or TV Movie went to Maggie Gyllenhaal for The Honorable Woman.
The Best TV Series, Drama Golden Globe went to The Affair. They were the first group of the evening to be played off the stage during the acceptance speech.
The Golden Globe for the Best Actor in TV Series, Drama went to Kevin Spacey for House of Cards. His first win and eighth nomination. He had to be bleeped out during his speech.
George Clooney has received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for this body of work. He has been nominated in more Golden Globe categories than anyone in history. He received a standing ovation and said it was an honor and thanked the Hollywood Foreign Press. George appeared a bit nervous as he congratulated everyone in the room for their accomplishments, and he told Amal he couldn’t be more proud to be her husband.
Harrison Ford was up next to announce the nominees for Best Director of a Motion Picture and the Golden Globe went to Richard Linklater for Boyhood. He dedicated the award to his parents for their love and support.
The award for Best Actress in a TV Series, Drama was next, and the Golden Globe went to Ruth Wilson for The Affair.
The nominees for the Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy award was next and the Golden Globe went to Michael Keaton for Birdman. Yeah, Michael! He spoke of his family and it brought him to tears.
Tiny and Amy introduced Oprah. She came out to highlight Selma, and Channing Tatum did the same for Foxcatcher.
Robert Downy Jr. announced the nominees for the Best Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical and the Globe went to The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Matthew McConaughey came out for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama, and the Globe went to Julianne Moore for Still Alice.
The show was running long so people started talking very fast
Gwyneth Paltrow did the honors for the Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama and the Globe went to Eddie Redmayne for The Theory of Everything.
Meryl Streep announced the winner of the Best Motion Picture, Drama, and the Golden Globe went to Boyhood.
This 2015 Golden Globe Awards ceremony was a tame broadcast. Only Kevin Spacey got bleeped and nobody fell down. The show still kept you watching all three hours and it only went over by three minutes.
Now it’s time for the real party.
See You Next Year!
