Golden Globes 2015 winners, highlights, acceptance speeches

THE big winner of the night was Boyhood which scooped multiple awards but there were many nasty surprises as big names missed out.

HONOURING the best in film and television of 2014, this year’s awards show went off a bang, with comic duo Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosting for the third and final time.

The pair touched a nerve with one joke in particular, skewering Bill Cosby during their opening monologue.

They also poked fun at Angelina Jolie and the Sony hacking scandal, calling the audience “a bunch of minimally talented spoiled brats” and played a hilarious game of ‘Would You Rather’ with the crowd.

Prince made a surprise appearance to present the award for Best Original Song with the 56-year-old’s afro getting the biggest applause of the night.

Walking out on stage holding a blinged-up pimp cane was a hard look to pull off, but also proof that Prince is only getting more Prince as time goes on.

The reaction from the crowd was electric, with Viola Davis and Allison Janney proving themselves to be some of his biggest fans, leading to their reaction going viral.

George Clooney made a touching tribute to his new wife Amal as he accepted the Cecil B. DeMille award for his Lifetime Achievement in film.

Clooney was all class as he told the audience he was “so proud” to be her husband.

“It’s a humbling thing when you find someone to love,” he said of his human rights lawyer wife. “Even better when you’ve been waiting your whole life. Amal, whatever alchemy it is that brought us together, I couldn’t be more proud to be your husband.”

The 53-year-old star also paid tribute to the late Robin Williams and Lauren Bacall, adding that the actors and actresses were all winners, even if four out of five nominees went home without the trophy.

“If you’re in this room, you caught the brass ring,” he added. “You get to do what you’ve always dreamed.”

George Clooney and Amal Clooney caused a stir at the 72nd annual Golden Globe Awards.

While it wasn’t quite the record-breaking selfie of the Oscars, Meryl Streep was at it again, this time taking a selfie with a “North Korean reporter” played by Margaret Cho.

“There we go, you love Korea, everyone knows it,” said host Tina Fey after volunteering her for the pic.

But it was Imitation Game star Benedict Cumberbatch who was the real star of the selfie experiment, performing an exceptional photobomb that left viewers in stitches.

While the photobomb was a hit, the North Korean stunt received a mixed response on social media, with some suggesting Cho was “killing it”, while others felt the skit was “racist”.

One of the most talked about moments of the night — Meryl Streep and Margaret Cho.

Meanwhile, Jane Fonda’s boyfriend Richard Perry caused a bit of commotion after passing out at his table next to Sienna Miller, Mark Ruffalo and Channing Tatum.

Beverly Hills Paramedics confirmed they were initially called to the scene, before the call was cancelled.

72-year-old Perry has suffered from Parkinson’s disease for 10 years, Fonda revealed in a blog post in March last year.

The Hollywood Reporter said Hollywood Foreign Press Association president Theo Kingma confirmed Perry passed out because the lights he was sitting under were too hot.

Another medical mishap occurred when nominee Kathy Bates was reportedly injured and “almost collapsed” an hour after the awards started.

Us Weekly says it is unclear exactly what happened to the 66-year-old, but she reportedly “screamed out in pain” in what some speculate might have been a sharp stiletto stepping on her foot.

E! News also reports the American Horror Story: Freak Show star was heard shouting out in what sounded like “agonising pain” in the middle of the awards ceremony.

Hosts Fey and Poehler managed to squeeze in plenty of North Korea jabs throughout the evening, rounding out their last Golden Globes hosting gig by inviting a stern-looking Margaret Cho, posing as North Korean journalist Cho Yun Ja, to the stage. Dressed in military regalia, Cho told the live audience: “Show over; I host next year.”

Tina Fey, Margaret Cho and Amy Poehler closed the Golden Globes ceremony together.

While there were a few surprise winners, Kevin Spacey was certainly a crowd favourite, winning for his role as Frank Underwood in House of Cards. Caught up in all the excitement while accepting the award, the actor delivered an almighty F-bomb which managed to slip past the censors.

“I can’t f**king believe I won!” he exclaimed during the live broadcast.

The Best Actor, TV Drama win for his terrifying role in the Netflix political drama was Spacey’s first Golden Globe win after eight unsuccessful nominations.

Maybe he thought finally cracking the curse was worth it?
