BEST: Nikki Glaser's monologue

Nikki Glaser is aware of tips on how to inform a joke. She's proved it many instances, together with as final yr's Golden Globes host. And this yr, Glaser's opening monologue included various nice zingers, whether or not she was giving the Justice Division the award for "greatest enhancing" or asking George Clooney to troubleshoot her watery Nespresso. She even managed to do the unthinkable — ship a Leonardo DiCaprio bit that wasn't concerning the age of his girlfriends. Sorry, a Leonardo DiCaprio bit that wasn't JUST concerning the age of his girlfriends. In equity, her joke did begin there, however she rapidly defined that it was as a result of "we don't know the rest about you, man," apart from the truth that his favourite meals — in keeping with his 1991 Teen Beat interview — is "pasta, pasta, and extra pasta."

BEST: Teyana Taylor's unimaginable speech

This blurb may actually simply learn: Teyana Taylor gained!!! However consider it or not, it will get higher. Not solely did Taylor take house her first Golden Globe for her efficiency in One Battle After One other, however she delivered top-of-the-line speeches of the night time, which began together with her playfully stating the very low sparkly bow on the again of her gown after which rapidly switched to her telling her youngsters, "Y'all higher be off them rattling telephones and watching me proper now."

All jokes apart, she ended issues on an inspiring word, saying, "To my brown sisters and little brown ladies watching tonight, our softness just isn’t a legal responsibility. Our depth just isn’t an excessive amount of. Our mild doesn’t want permission to shine. We belong in each room we stroll into. Our voices matter and our goals deserve house."

Have you ever grabbed your tissues but?

WORST: The nominee bulletins

Okay, there's attempting one thing new after which there's simply being dumb. If one factor actually doesn't want to vary at awards reveals, it's the very easy custom of exhibiting the nominees faces as their names are introduced. However this yr, for some motive, the Globes determined to make the nominees' faces smaller in order that they may… drop a location pin on the place they’re within the room??? What will we care the place they're sitting in relation to the stage? It's ineffective, it seems to be silly, and half the time, it's delayed. No, thanks.

BEST: The place is our Smartless film?!

To state the apparent: The Smartless hosts have unimaginable chemistry. For years, Sean Hayes, Jason Bateman, and Will Arnett have delivered hours of hilarious banter on their podcast, however seeing them current on the Globes stage has solely made us love them extra.

Sure, it was only a foolish bit about how some folks don't like Bateman however it was humorous nonetheless. Notably when Hayes stated he liked Ozark, to which Bateman responded, "What was it about?" Hayes' response? "It was about three seasons too lengthy."

When can we get these three entrance and middle in a comedy?!

WORST: The announcers

To place it merely: The stay announcers at this yr's present simply… didn't work. The Globes tasked Leisure Tonight host Kevin Frazier and Selection's senior tradition & occasions editor Marc Malkin with offering commentary through the generally very lengthy pause whereas a winner hugs their family members after which makes their solution to the stage. But when Malkin wasn't fumbling over his phrases, he was offering such wonderful insights as saying that winner Timothée Chalamet just lately thanked girlfriend Kylie Jenner on the Critics Selection Awards: "Will he thank Kylie Jenner once more tonight? We're about to search out out!"

Yeah, we may've completed with out it.

BEST: Noah Wyle needs his spouse comfortable birthday

Sure, Noah Wyle gained Finest Efficiency by an Actor in a Drama Sequence for his unimaginable work on The Pitt. And sure, he did it with fellow ER alum George Clooney within the room. And YES, he delivered an exquisite acceptance speech, during which he thanked all healthcare staff. However one second stands out, and that's the second on the finish of Wyle's speech when he not solely revealed that it's his spouse's birthday, however advised her, "I hope you take pleasure in your celebration."

Did he simply handle to make the whole Golden Globes all about his spouse's birthday? Now that's a superb husband if we've ever seen one.

07 of 14

BEST: Rose Byrne calls out her bearded dragon

Rose Byrne wasn't anticipating to win for her work in If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, so when she took the stage, she wasn't precisely ready — one thing that both results in chaos or greatness. In Byrne's case, it was greatness. Not solely did she give her mother and father a shout-out for getting Paramount+ in order that they may stream the present from Australia, however she ended by revealing that her husband, Bobby Cannavale, missed the present to be able to attend a reptile expo in New Jersey as a result of "we're getting a bearded dragon." Stars… they're identical to us.

WORST: A not-so-golden musical second

As a bunch, it's uncommon that each bit goes to work. And as a lot as we loved Glaser's opening monologue, not every part she ready was a success. We're speaking about that cringey musical second. The concept appeared easy sufficient: She was going to sing a music about how the Globes didn't need her to sing, all set to the tune of "Golden" from KPop Demon Hunters. However because of some small wardrobe points after which some larger mic points — and the largest situation of it simply not solely connecting — the music was a flop. However hey, at the least Fran Drescher was there to inform Glaser, "Your voice is so annoying." Get it?

BEST: Issues get…heated

If we're being trustworthy, the Heated Rivalry stars had been going to be on our "greatest second" checklist it doesn’t matter what they stated or did. However don't fear, they did extra than simply present as much as earn this point out (despite the fact that their presence was sufficient!).

Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie took the stage to current and instantly winked on the nudity of their hit sequence when Williams tried to calm Storrie's nerves by telling him to "image everybody within the viewers…you understand."

Storrie responded, "I don't actually know if that works contemplating everybody has seen us…you understand."

Then once more, everybody within the room hasn't seen Heated Rivalry. However as Storrie put it, "Their trainers have and their mothers have and their daughters have." AND WE LOVE IT!

P.S. The bizarre UFC bit earlier than they took the stage will get an honorable point out for worst.

BEST: Wanda Sykes accepts on Ricky Gervais' behalf

Wanda Sykes didn't pull any punches whereas she introduced the nominees for Finest Stand-Up Comic on Tv, significantly when it got here to Ricky Gervais.

Earlier than asserting the winner, she joked, "Ricky Gervais, I like you for not being right here," earlier than including, "No, I like you, Ricky, as a result of in case you win, I get to simply accept the award in your behalf, and also you're going to thank God and the trans group."

And when Gervais did win? Sykes went via on the bit, thanking God and the trans group on his behalf.

BEST: Rhea Seehorn wins!

For years, Higher Name Saul followers watched as Rhea Seehorn was handed over regardless of her astonishing portrayal of Kim Wexler on the beloved drama. She misplaced two Emmys throughout her time on the present, and moreover, was by no means even nominated for a Golden Globe. However that's all modified. Because of Pluribus, which Saul creator Vince Gilligan wrote with Seehorn in mind, the actress has taken house a much-deserved Golden Globe for her work as Carol Sturka, a best-selling writer and one of many final (nonetheless human) people on Earth. Issues may be a multitude for Carol, however they're certainly trying up for Seehorn!

BEST: Jessie Buckley thanks a grip for making soup

You by no means know what to anticipate from an acceptance speech, a indisputable fact that Hamnet star Jessie Buckley proved when accepted her award for Finest Efficiency by an Actress in a Movement Image — Drama.

BEST: "Knock em lifeless, Batman"

There's nothing fairly like an Oceans Eleven reunion at any awards ceremony! Whereas George Clooney was on the point of current the final award of the night time for Finest Image — Drama, he was joined by his former costar Don Cheadle, who requested the actor, "Did you win?" After all, Clooney — who was nominated for Finest Efficiency by an Actor in a Movement Image — Musical or Comedy — didn't win this specific night, however as he reminded Cheadle, he has gained prior to now and no, it was not that way back.

To show his level, Cheadle then requested greatest actor winner Timothée Chalamet his age — spoiler: he's 30 — at which level he advised Clooney, "He was 3 the final time you gained."

When Clooney tried to finish the dialog by saying he was simply going to do the nominations now, Cheadle slapped him on the ass and cracked, "Knock 'em lifeless, Batman."

We'd say we'd prefer to see a brand new film with these two, however it seems like we're already getting it.

BEST: Nikki Glaser's candy tribute to Rob Reiner

Whereas closing out the 83rd annual Golden Globes, host Nikki Glaser gave a refined nod to the late Rob Reiner, one month after he and his spouse, Michele, had been discovered lifeless of their Brentwood, Calif., house.
