The 72nd Golden Globes 2015 Best Moments
Once again the best of the best in cinema, tv, music, soundtracks and entertainment were rewarded with the incredible ceremony of the 72nd Golden Globes. Last night the biggest stars of your screen were watched by every movie and tv lover of the world. Indie films and quirky TV dramas won big at the Golden Globes Sunday night, as some of the biggest risks that film and television producers have taken in recent years were rewarded.
Director Richard Linklater’s life drama Boyhood took home three trophies, while nuanced television series like Transparent, The Affair and Fargo also won multiple awards. In the TV categories, several firsts happened: Streaming newcomer Amazon won its first Golden Globe on its first nomination for Transparent in Best TV Comedy or Musical. The show, which sheds light on the transgender community, also picked up Best Actor in a TV Comedy for Jeffrey Tambor’s portrayal of transgender woman Maura Pfefferman.
“I would like to dedicate this award tonight to the transgender community,” Tambor said onstage. “Thank you for your courage, thank your for your inspiration, thank you for your patience and thank you for letting us be part of the change.” Elsewhere in the broadcast, actresses recognized the breadth of roles women are playing in film and TV today.
Julianne Moore, who won Best Actress in the drama movie category for Still Alice, marveled at how when she took the role the novelist whose book the film was based on told her, “no one wanted to see a movie about a middle-aged woman.”
Maggie Gyllenhaal (on the right), who won Best Actress in a miniseries for The Honorable Woman, praised the “wealth of roles for actual woman,” adding, “That’s what I think is revolutionary and evolutionary, and it’s what’s turning me on.”
Boyhood actress Patricia Arquette (Best Actress in a Supporting Role) thanked Linklater for writing the role of an “underappreciated single mother” and for “shining a light on this woman and the millions of women like her and for allowing me to honor my own mother with this beautiful character.” From speeches that recognized the evolving roles of women in Hollywood to streaming services beating out programs and actors on terrestrial TV, the Golden Globes this year showed that the worlds of film and TV aren’t nearly as predictable as they were even a decade ago. This was nowhere more apparent than in the shows that won in TV categories.
Jane the Virgin’s Gina Rodriguez nabbed The CW’s first win in Best Actress in a TV Comedy. “The nomination alone was a win for me because Latinos were able to see themselves in a positive light,” Rodriguez said backstage, discussing the show’s heralded diversity.
From remarks about the protests in France (“Je suis Charlie,” George Clooney said at the end of his Cecil B. DeMille Award speech) to rapper Common’s poignant recognition of civil rights activists in the Sixties during his acceptance speech for his and John Legend’s Selma song “Glory” (“Selma has awakened my humanity,” he said) the night was full of sobering moments. Even a rare, inexplicable and strangely stoic appearance by Prince seemed serious. Stars including George Clooney, Helen Mirren, Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson sported accessories in support of the victims of last week’s attacks in Paris, declaring “Je suis Charlie” in solidarity.
It’s a great reminder for all of us to stand by each other for the ideal of free speech,” Mirren told TODAY’s Natalie Morales. “It’s very difficult to maintain that ideal but it’s a great one to aim towards.” In addition to holding up a “Je suis Charlie” sign, Mirren also sported a symbolic paintbrush pin on her gown.
Diane Kruger and boyfriend Joshua Jackson also held the sign featuring the phrase that became a trending hashtag last week, as the world expressed support for the victims of the shootings at satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo.
As always, a night of glamour and fashionable moment at the red carpet. Check out our favorite looks below as well as all the nominees and winners of the night. You should also see the best moments of the Golden Globes 2014. We wish you a day as glamorous as the Golden Globes.
