GOLDEN GLOBES 2017: SOME UNFORGETTABLE MOMENTS

Hollywood delivered the first awards of 2017. The Golden Globe Awards were held in Los Angeles on January 8, and from film to television, many have taken the coveted statuettes home. The Golden Globe Awards had one big winner this year: "La La Land." The musical got seven nominations and won in every single category it was nominated in.

Here is the complete list of the 2017 Golden Globes winners. CLICK HERE.

As usual the Golden Globes ceremony was marked by embarrassing, amusing and touching moments. From the incredible opening number to such beautiful speeches that would have deserved a special award!

Here were some of the evening's greatest moments:

AN EPIC OPENING NUMBER

Jimmy Fallon broke the ice with the opening video where he sings with Nicole Kidman. It was a musical video to parodize “La la Land”. Amy Adams with many famous Tv series stars like “Dolores” from Westworld, the protagonist of Mr.Robot and Jon Snow from Game of Thrones came together. But not only! The children from Stranger Things, John Travolta, Ryan Reynolds’ (worrying) appearance and…a Stormtrooper?! It was really beautiful and it seems everybody had fun! Good job, Jimmy Fallon!

                         

THE CUTEST COUPLE OF THE NIGHT

Who were the cutest couple of the night? We’re sorry,  Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively,  but they were Dev Patel and Sunny Pawar from Lion, nominated for Best Motion Picture-Drama. We loved when Patel held him because Pawal wasn’t quite big to reach the mic, Dev Patel will be a great dad!

"LA LA LAND" HITS ALL THE RIGHT NOTES

“La La Land” dominated the Golden Globes winning all it could win, beating every record! Seven nominations and seven awards taken home. There’s no doubt about it, “La la Land” bewitched critics and journalists. The awards as the best actor and actress were won by Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, two great actors for a great movie! 

The latter to accept the award for Best Actor proved himself once again to be a dream man  publicly thanking his partner Eva Mendes:

"While I was singing and dancing and playing piano and having one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on a film, my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second, and trying to help her brother fight his battle with cancer. If she hadn’t taken all that on so that I could have this experience, it would surely be someone else up her other than me today. Sweetheart, thank you”

 THE KISS BETWEEN RYAN REYNOLDS AND ANDREW GARFIELD

While Ryan Gosling went up the stage to receive his award a scene caught the attention of the public who immediately captured the moment: a passionate kiss between Ryan Reynolds and Andrew Garfield. The moment was super fun, and even Reynolds’s wife, Blake Lively, seemed to enjoy the bizarre moment was sitting beside him. Ryan Reynolds came out a loser in the awards, but he is the winner for the funniest moments of the evening.

 

KRISTEN WIIG, STEVE CARELL AND THEIR CHILHOOD

Kristen Wiig and Steve Carell told about their memories connected to animated movies talking about Bambi and much more! We all travelled back into the past listening to their speech. Moreover,  Steve Carell and Kristen remembered their childhood moments, moving everybody. They won the night. Oh…  Congratulations to Zootopia that was awarded as the Best Animated Movie.

                         

IT’S BRAD PITT!

Brad was back after his divorce with Angelina Jolie, his appearance was greeted with a huge applause by his Hollywood colleagues and his friend,  Matt Damon. Brad Pitt looked younger, didn’t he? 53 years old? It doesn’t seem possible.  Benjamin Button must be back! He presented the movie “Moonlight” that won as Best Motion Picture: Drama. Brad produced the movie.

“It’s born of the courage of a group of actors willing to strip to their souls and express their humanism inside mistake and misstep and misdeed.”

 

IN MEMORIAM

The ceremony honored the late mother-daughter duo Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher with a brief film reel featuring some of their most iconic films including "Singing in the Rain" and, of course, "Star Wars."

                         

AND THE CECIL B. DEMILLE AWARD GOES TO ... MERYL!

Class, elegance, strength, talent redundant. If there is a moment of these Golden Globes that marked the evening is the award to Meryl Streep. The actress, award-winning and widely recognized around the world, has received a real recognition to a life of success, of sublime interpretations of commitment and dedication to a job that she takes extremely seriously. She gave a great speech which was also very brave: she spoke of the beauty of diversity in Hollywood, openly challenging the new president,  Donald Trump,  and remembering her dear friend,  Carrie Fisher.

 

“You and all of us in this room really belong to the most vilified segments in American society right now. Think about it: Hollywood, foreigners and the press. But who are we, and what is Hollywood anyway? It’s just a bunch of people from other places. […] So Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners. And if we kick them all out you’ll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts. […] As my friend, the dear departed Princess Leia, said to me once, take your broken heart, make it into art.”
