The 2018 Golden Globes: Highlights and Winners

The 75th Annual Golden Globes awarded films and TV while making important political statements

Last night’s Golden Globes awards brought with them a night of political commentary and amazing speeches, along with some surprising award winners. Hosted by Seth Meyers, the ceremony was frequently focused on the recent sexual assault charges that have been occurring throughout Hollywood for the past few months, with many victims of Harvey Weinstein attending the ceremony. As a result, the opening monologue was filled with dozens of jokes at the expense of Weinstein, Kevin Spacey and more. These were along with the requisite jokes about nominees like Steven Spielberg and the cast of Get Out, poking fun at Hollywood’s problems with diversity and the multiple award winners. Meyers, who is known for his political satire on Late Night with Seth Meyers was a smart choice as ringleader for the program, moving it along quickly enough (despite the show still going about five minutes overtime).

One of the biggest talking points surrounding the Globes was the Time’s Up movement, with nearly every celebrity showing up on the red carpet wearing black attire and a pin with the initiative’s logo. Time’s Up, which was created by female actors, producers, writers and more in Hollywood, is a legal defense fund to help victims battle and survive their assaults. Many celebrities such as Michelle Williams and Meryl Streep brought as their “dates” social justice leaders in order to have them speak on the actresses’ behalves.

Other statements on the stage and the red carpet brought attention to the sexism and gender barriers in Hollywood, including Will & Grace actress Debra Messing pointing out the wage disparity of hosts on E! while being interviewed on the channel as well as presenters Natalie Portman and Barbra Streisand noting how no female directors were nominated this year.

The biggest winner of the night was Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, which took home four awards throughout the night, including Best Picture and Best Actress for Frances McDormand in the Drama Category. Also taking home four awards on the TV side of things was Big Little Lies, getting three acting honors (Nicole Kidman, Alexander Skarsgard and Laura Dern) alongside the miniseries as a whole. Speeches delivered by McDormand and Dern were highlights, as was Allison Janney’s speech for I, Tonya.

Perhaps the best moment of the night came with Oprah Winfrey’s acceptance of the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award, a commentary about race and gender in America from the civil rights era through to today. A brilliant monologue condemning the worst flaws of Hollywood and America as a whole, her discussion of the world’s problems received praise both online and in the venue.
