Here are some of the most memorable moments of the evening... 

Ricky Gervais' Opening Monologue

Did anyone really expect host Ricky Gervais to behave himself? Of course not! However, he was bleeped out twice during his opening monologue! Making jokes about Marvel and Martin Scorsese, Felicity Huffman's college admissions scandal, a "Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself" joke and celebs who work for streaming platforms. Ending his speech with a rather colourful vocabulary, we weren't at all surprised to hear.

Michelle Williams' Brilliant Speech

The beautiful actress accepted the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Limited Series and gave a powerful speech celebrating women's rights to choose. "I've tried my very best to live a life of my own making. Not just a series of events that happened to me, but one that I could stand back and look at and recognize my handwriting all over it. 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. 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. Which is why the world looks so much like them. But don't forget we are the largest voting body in this country. Let's make it look more like us."

But the boat has been f---ing rocked," the actor said. He touched on how he as "not always been a virtuous man," and how "it's great to vote, but sometimes we have to take that responsibility on ourselves and make changes and sacrifices in our own lives.
