Michelle Williams 2020 Golden Globes: Read Her Full Speech


“Thank you so much, first of all to my Fosse/Verdon family and to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. When you put this in someone’s hands you’re acknowledging the choices that they make as an actor, moment by moment, scene by scene, day by day, but you’re also acknowledging the choices they make as a person, the education they pursued, the training they sought, the hours they put in.

I’m grateful for the acknowledgment of the choices I’ve made, and I’m also grateful to have lived at a moment in our society where choice exists because as women and as girls things can happen to our bodies that are not our choice. I’ve tried my very best to live a life of my own making and not just a series of events that happened to me, but one that I can stand back and look at and recognize my handwriting all over, sometimes messy and scrawling, sometimes careful and precise, but one that I carved with my own hand. I wouldn’t have been able to do this without employing a woman’s right to choose. To choose when to have my children and with whom. When I felt supported and able to balance our lives knowing as all mothers know that the scales must and will tip towards our children, now,

I know my choices might look different than yours. But thank God, or whomever you pray to, that we live in a country founded on the principle that I am free to live by my faith and you are free to live by yours. Women, 18 to 118, when it is time to vote please do so in your own self-interest. It’s what men have been doing for years. It’s what men have been doing for years, which is why the world looks so much like them. Don’t forget: We are the largest voting body in this country. Let’s make it look more like us. Tommy and Matilda I can’t wait to come home to you.”

The internet exploded with praise for the moment—perhaps the most memorable of the night. Busy Phillips was visibly emotional and proud watching her best friend on the stage.

Let’s just give Michelle Williams all the awards, all the time.

Jennifer Aniston's Face During Brad Pitt's Golden Globes 2020 Speech Has Everyone Talking


Brad Pitt took home the 2020 Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor on Sunday night, January 5, and something happened during his speech that has the entire internet talking. Of course, it has to do with Jennifer Aniston.

The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actor made a joke about his dating life while accepting his Globe, and the camera immediately panned to Aniston. “I wanted to bring my mom but I couldn’t because any woman I stand next to they say I’m dating,” he said, which got a seemingly genuine laugh out of Aniston.

It was a split-second moment, but the Twitter reactions keep pouring in. See them for yourself, below:

Earlier in the evening, Pitt mentioned Aniston during his interview with Entertainment Tonight. When the reporter asked Pitt about his ex, he said, “I’ll run into Jen. She’s a good friend. The second most important reunion of her year.” (Ahhh, we see what he did there with the Friends joke.)

Obviously, tonight’s fun at the Golden Globes should not be taken as a sign that Jennifer and Brad are getting back together. Their marriage ended in 2005, people. That was 15 years ago. In December 2019, fans freaked out when news broke Pitt attended Aniston’s Christmas party. “They have been in touch a few times since her birthday and are keeping it friendly,” a source told People, adding. “The annual tree-trimming party is always Jen’s favorite to host. She loves Christmas. As usual, a large group of friends attended.”

Aniston was nominated at tonight’s Golden Globes for Best Actress in a TV Series, Drama for her performance in Apple TV+’s The Morning Show. (Olivia Colman ended up winning for The Crown. season three.)

Kate McKinnon's Golden Globes Speech Thanked Ellen for Making It 'Less Scary' to Be Gay


Tonight, the Golden Globes honored Ellen DeGeneres with the Carol Burnett Award for Achievement in Television. Kate McKinnon presented the award to her with a heartfelt—and at times, hilarious—speech. The SNL star, of course, has famously imitated DeGeneres for years and has often appeared on her talk show. While she joked about items of clothing she’s gotten from DeGeneres (some Stan Smiths and her best button-down shirts), McKinnon opened up about how much DeGeneres’ coming out meant to her as a young gay woman.

“In 1997, when Ellen’s sitcom was at the height of its popularity, I was in my mother’s basement lifting weights in front of the mirror and thinking, ‘Am I gay?’” said McKinnon, adding, “And I was and I still am. But that’s a very scary thing to suddenly know about yourself, it’s sort of like doing 23AndMe and discovering that you have alien DNA.”

But watching that historic moment on Ellen changed everything.

“The only thing that made it less scary was seeing Ellen on TV,” McKinnon continued. “She risked her entire life and her entire career in order to tell the truth and she suffered greatly for it. Of course, attitudes change but only because brave people like Ellen jump into the fire to make them change. And if I hadn’t seen her on TV, I would’ve thought, ‘I can never be on TV, they don’t let LGBTQ people on TV,’ and more than that, I would’ve gone on thinking that I was an alien and that I maybe didn’t even have a right to be here, so thank you, Ellen, for giving me a shot.”

You can watch the speech in full, below:

Viewers got emotional watching McKinnon, too.

After DeGeneres accepted the award, she went backstage where she was asked whom she looks up to, reports Entertainment Weekly. Her response? Kate McKinnon, naturally. “I look up to—not just people that are older than me but people that are starting out now and paving the way,” DeGeneres said. “I think Kate McKinnon is brilliant, and I think she’s strong, and I think she’s brave, so I look up to her.”

Awkwafina Wins Best Actress at the 2020 Golden Globes and Makes History


History shifted one joyful, mournful, comical bit tonight at the 2020 Golden Globes, as Awkwafina became the first woman of Asian descent to win the award for Best Lead Actress in a Musical or Comedy Movie.

Looking like a glowy, sexy, Elizabethan mime, the 31-year-old accepted the award for her role in The Farewell, directed by Lulu Wang. The win marks multiple firsts—a history-making first for Asian representation at the Golden Globes, as well as Awkwafina’s first Golden Globe nomination, and first-ever dramatic role. She beat out a stacked category that included Cate Blanchett and Emma Thompson, who both have approximately the number of acting award statuettes as I have empty La Croix cans under my bed (countless.)

In her 70-second speech, the star demonstrated exactly why the award belongs to her, making us both laugh and cry almost in the same instant. “This is great,” she deadpanned, clutching the Globe statue. “If I fall upon hard times I could sell this, so that’s good.” Graciously thanking the team behind the movie, she went on to dedicate the award to her dad, saying, “I told you I’d get a job, dad.”

She also dedicated the award “To my grandma, my best friend, the woman who raised me. And to my mother Tia, who I always hope is watching from somewhere above, and I hope that she’s watching now.”

Playing the part of a young woman, Billie, whose love for family and independent streak keep her trapped between two cultures, was “the chance of a lifetime,” Awkwafina said. She’ll dive back into those themes—this time with more elicit drugs—on her upcoming Comedy Central show Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens on January 22.

We look forward to Awkwafina breaking more boundaries and reaping the benefits. And of course, to her winning plenty of awards to hawk for cash and fancy ruffs if she falls on hard times.

Golden Globes 2020: The Biggest Moments


Awards season kicked off on Sunday night, January 5, with the 2020 Golden Globes. First up was Ricky Gervais, who returned as host for the first time since 2016 and made up for lost time with a rapid-fire round of insults and jokes. (He’s hosted the show five times in total.) There was some definite uncomfortable shifting throughout the crowd, but, all in all, it was just good fun.

But Gervais’s opening monologue was just the tip of the iceberg. This year’s Golden Globes was highly entertaining—from the presenters to the winners and the candid moments in between. If you missed the show, though, no worries: We’ve compiled the best (and cringe-iest) moments from the night, below.

Gervais’s opening monologue. It was, naturally, quite spicy, with several jokes that left the star-studded audience stunned. No topic was off-limits, including the college cheating scandal. “That must’ve been the most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to her,” Gervais said of Felicity Huffman’s daughter. “And her dad [William H. Macy] was in Wild Hogs.” Gervais also made cracks about Leonardo DiCaprio’s dating past, quipping the actor brought a date to the premiere of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and, “by the end, [she] was too old for him.” (DiCaprio laughed at the joke, seemingly in good spirits.)

Phoebe Waller-Bridge winning Best Lead Actress in a Television Comedy for Fleabag. She thanked the sexy priest, played by Andrew Scott (bless up), and added, “This has been so, so extraordinary…This means the world to me. Thank you so much.”

Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon presenting together. Aniston made a subtle joke about their hit series The Morning Show, saying “Good morning” to the crowd instead of “evening.” (If you’re not watching the show, you’re hardcore missing out, my friends!) The duo presented an award to Russell Crowe, who wasn’t there to accept but instead delivered a message, which Aniston read aloud, about the wildfires in Australia.

The baby Yoda comparisons to Jodie Comer’s dress. I can’t un-see it.

And all the reactions to Jennifer Lopez’s dress. It was, by far, the most talked-about outfit of the night.

Is Beyoncé and Jay-Z's Bodyguard Carrying Their Alcohol at the Golden Globes 2020?


Beyoncé and Jay-Z are never late to a party. Everybody else is just simply early. That’s why I didn’t bat an eye when I saw them standing in the back of the room at the 2020 Golden Globes on Sunday night (January 5), waiting for Kate McKinnon to finish her speech so they could take their seats. (It appears they showed up to the awards show in the middle of the SNL star tributing Ellen DeGeneres.) What did catch my eye, though, were the bottles of booze their apparent bodyguard was hiding behind his back.

Well, I didn’t see this with my own two eyes, exactly. It was on my TV screen—and brought to the surface by L.A. Times reporter Amy Kaufman who tweeted, “@Beyonce and Jay-Z just walked in. They’re waiting until Kate McKinnon finishes speaking to take their seats. Is their bodyguard carrying bottles of alc for them?”

Check out the image for yourself, below:

It’s not 100 percent clear if what Kaufman wrote is true, but regardless, what a mood. If I was Beyoncé, I would demand that a bodyguard carry bottles of champagne around for me at all times. And not just to awards shows: to the grocery store, to the gym, to file my taxes, to pick up my dry-cleaning. You never know when the desire to crack open a bottle of bubbly is going to come, right?

The internet is living for Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s surprise appearance at the Golden Globes. Below, just a few reactions.

Beyoncé was nominated for Best Original Song at tonight’s Globes. (She co-wrote “Spirit” from the live-action Lion King alongside Timothy McKenzie and Ilya Salmanzadeh.) Other nominees for the award included Taylor Swift and Andrew Lloyd Webber (“Beautiful Ghosts,” Cats) and Joshuah Brian Campbell and Cynthia Erivo (“Stand Up,” Harriet). The award, ultimately, went to Elton John and Bernie Taupin for their song “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again” from Rocketman.
