Golden Globes 2018: Winners, speeches and highlights from the show
IN A momentous speech, Oprah Winfrey brought Hollywood to its feet as she addressed sexual misconduct at the Golden Globes.
IN A momentous speech, Oprah Winfrey brought Hollywood to its feet as she called out sexual harassers while being honoured at the 75th Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles.
“I want all the girls watching to know that a new day is here on the horizon!” Winfrey chanted as the A-list audience jumped to its feet and cheered.
“And when that new day finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women, many of whom are right here in this room tonight, and some pretty phenomenal men, fighting hard to make sure that they become the leaders who take us to the time when nobody ever has to say ‘me too’ again!”
Laura Dern, Meryl Streep and other stars in the crowd broke down with emotion and applauded with support as Winfrey addressed the wave of sexual misconduct allegations flooding Hollywood and other industries around the world. The 63-year-old was being honoured with the Cecil B. DeMille award her outstanding contribution to entertainment.
“What I know for sure is that speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have and I’m especially proud and inspired by all the women who have felt strong enough to stand up and share their personal stories,” she said.
“This year we became the story. But it’s not just a story affecting the entertainment industry. It’s one that transcends any culture, geography, race, religion, politics, or workplace. So I want tonight to express gratitude to all the women who have endured years of abuse or assault because they, like my mother, had children to feed and bills to pay and dreams to pursue. They are the women whose names we’ll never know.”
She added: “For too long, women have not been heard or believed if they dare speak the truth to the power of those men ... but their time is up. Their time is up! Their time is up.”
Earlier in her speech, Winfrey acknowledged she’s the first black woman to be honoured with the Cecil B. DeMille.
“It is not lost on me that, at this moment, there is some little girl watching as I become the first black woman to be given the same award,” Winfrey said. “It is an honor and it is a privilege to share the evening with all of them.”
Today’s Golden Globes ceremony is the first award show to take place since allegations of sexual misconduct began flooding Hollywood. Tasked with hosting the ceremony, host Seth Meyers joked he felt like “the first dog they shot into outer space”.
“Good evening ladies and remaining gentlemen,” Meyers said, opening the show as the audience of A-listers cheered.
“Happy New Year Hollywood. It’s 2018 — marijuana is finally allowed, sexual harassment finally isn’t ... it’s gonna be a good year.”
“There’s a new era underway and I can tell because it has been years since a white man has been this nervous in Hollywood,” he said.
“For the male nominees in the room this is the first time in three months it won’t be terrifying to hear your name read out.”
In a joke directed at Harvey Weinstein, Meyers referred to the disgraced movie mogul as the “elephant not in the room”.
“Harvey Weinstein isn’t here tonight ... I’ve heard rumours he’s crazy and difficult to work with,” he said.
“He’ll be back in 20 years when he’s the first person booed in the In Memoriam,” Meyers added, as the audience gasped in shock.
In the first award of the night, Nicole Kidman picked up the gong for her role in Big Little Lies.
She took the stage with a message to her female co-stars: “This is ours to share. Wow, the power of women.”
She ended the speech by addressing her husband in the audience directly.
“Keith Urban, when my cheek is against yours, everything melts away, and that is love. It’s true — I love you so much.”
Sam Rockwell took home the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture for his role in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
Jennifer Aniston and TV icon Carol Burnett presented the award for Best Actress in a TV series, Musical or Comedy — Aniston gushing over Burnett, and Burnett responding with a well-timed quip: “I’m glad you’re coming back to television … I loved Will & Grace.”
Rachel Brosnahan took home the gong for The Marvellous Mrs Maisel.
Giving a small taste of the upcoming Roseanne TV reunion, the show’s leads Roseanne Barr and John Goodman took to the stage to present the award for Best Television Drama Series. We just hope the chemistry between the TV couple improves before the remake returns to screens.
“I’m kinda known for creating some great drama,” Barr boomed into the microphone as an uncomfortable looking Goodman awkwardly picked up the punchline.
“Not the kind you get awards for,” he replied.
The Handmaid’s Tale picked up the award.
Beating out Hugh Jackman, James Franco took home the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for his role in The Disaster Artist.
During Franco’s acceptance speech, cameras cut to a rather stunned-looking Jackman — and fans were quick to notice the Aussie star’s uncomfortable reaction.

Laura Dern won her fourth Golden Globe for her role inBig Little Lies and thanked her “family” of co-stars, Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman.
“May we teach our children that speaking out without fear of retribution is our cultures new north star,” she said, ending an impassioned acceptance speech.
Following Oprah Winfrey’s electric speech which saw the industry veteran call out sexual harrassers, Frances McDormand acknowledged the “tectonic shift” that took place in the room at the ceremony.
“The women in this room tonight are not here for the food. We are here for the work,” McDormand said while accepting the award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama for her role inThree Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
It was a big night for the film, which picked up four of the six awards it was nominated for — including the final gong for the night, Best Motion Picture Drama.
The film beat out Call Me By Your Namewhich was a favourite to win in the lead up to the ceremony. Nominated for three awards, the coming-of-age romance missed out on a win.
