The 2017 Golden Globes, hosted by Jimmy Fallon, were held Sunday, January 8. Despite a (predictably) lackluster showing from Fallon, the ceremony mostly lived up to its reputation for being one of the most “fun” shows of awards season, with winsome moments, some unexpected humor, and one hell of a Meryl Streep speech. (Streep was presented with the Globes’ Cecile B. DeMille Award for “outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment.”)

The night’s big winner was La La Land, which broke a record with seven wins — the most Golden Globes wins ever by a single film. Stars Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling won in the Best Performance categories for a comedy or musical, and the film won Best Motion Picture in the comedy or musical category.
Wins on the drama side were split, with Casey Affleck taking home Best Performance by an Actor for Manchester by the Sea, Isabelle Huppert taking Best Performance by an Actress for Elle, and Moonlight taking Best Motion Picture.
The Golden Globes also honor television, and this was a big year for The Crown, which won Best Television Series — Drama and saw its Queen Elizabeth, Claire Foy, win for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series. AMC’s The Night Manager also had a good night, with Hugh Laurie and Olivia Colman both snagging Best Performance awards.
