Tonight, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) announced the winners of the 74th Annual Golden Globe Awards. First-time show host Jimmy Fallon led the star-studded event which aired on NBC live from The Beverly Hilton. Meryl Streep was honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award and gave an emotional speech highlighting the importance of diversity and freedom of the press. And the big winner was ‘La La Land,’ collecting a record-setting seven awards including Best Film Musical or Comedy, Best Actor for Ryan Gosling and Best Actress for Emma Stone.
In receiving the Cecil B. DeMille Award Streep gave one of the most powerful speeches of the night offering strong criticism of the president elect as she said, “Disrespect invites disrespect. Violence insights violence. When the powerful bully others, we all lose… This brings me to the press. We need the principled press to hold those in power accountable.” In closing she said, “We have to remind each other of the privilege and the responsibility of the act of empathy. We should all be very proud of the work Hollywood honors here tonight. As my friend, the dearly departed Princess Leia said to me once, ‘Take your broken heart. Make it into art.’
