Golden Globes 2021: Here are the most memorable moments of the night

Fey and Poehler have co-hosted the Globes three times in the past, but this is the first one they hosted from different coasts. They addressed this in their monologue while doing the usual: poking fun at the nominees, celebrities, and taking some jabs at how the HFPA doesn’t have any Black members. Read more about this monologue here.

At this point in the pandemic, we’re all accustomed to tech glitches. The Globes experienced as much after announcing the very first win of the night: Daniel Kaluuya for his supporting role in Judas And The Black Messiah. He was cut off but rightfully came back and gave his victory speech.

Don’t worry, guys, it was a planned bit.

Well, at least they tried. In a quick address (literally, it was one line each), three HFPA heads spoke about their lack of inclusivity. Chairman Meher Tatna said that “We must also assure everyone from all underrepresented communities gets a seat at our table. And we’re going to make that happen.” They gave no indication as to how they’ll make it happen, but adding Black writers and other journalists of color to the body is a good start.

He makes it work! Not to mention that The Comey Rule actor seemed to set a trend for relaxed awards attire.

Mark Ruffalo’s win (for Best Actor in a Limited Series or Motion Picture for I Know This Much Is True) was a full family affair.

They joined Amy Poehler onstage, in character, for a pretend win (they’re also a couple and a couple of siblings... it’s a lot) but the duo made a strong case for why they can host together next year.

We’re all in agreement with Maya Rudolph’s nervous laugh, yes?

The prolific 98-year-old writer and television producer was the recipient of this year’s Carol Burnett Award. He gave a great speech and Jason Sudeikis got to marvel at him. (“He’s 99!” the actor was seen exclaiming).

It’s just nice to see them together, okay?

The This Is Us duo showed off their chemistry once more, cracking jokes about how it’s “nice to be Black at the Golden Globes” and how nice it is to be “back at the Golden Globes.”

It IS the Best Comedy.

TikTok star La’Ron Hines showed up for a pre-recorded bit during which he quizzed some kids on their Golden Globes and pop culture knowledge. Jabria, one of La’Ron’s precious students and a fixture in his TikTok series, gave a summary for Ozark that Netflix should add to their description right away.

In that same bit, all the kids know exactly who Chadwick Boseman is. It was a very sweet tribute to him and his resonant performance in Black Panther.

Someone baked bread shaped like the Globes trophy and then got Stiller to bite into it. One question: WHY?

Chung, director of Minari, won for the best foreign language film. Once the win was announced, his 7-year-old daughter jumped with joy and said “I prayed, I prayed.” Too pure.

Jane Fonda received the Cecil B. DeMille Award and gave a speech for the ages. Watch it here.

Foster won for The Mauritian and got to accept the award while chilling at home with her wife, dog, and in comfy pajamas. Good for her!

Anya Taylor-Joy (and both her eyes!) won for The Queen’s Gambit, making her the first Latina to ever best actress win in the limited series, anthology series, or TV movie category.

Taylor Simone Ledward gave an extremely emotional speech in honor of her late husband Chadwick Boseman, who won posthumously for his performance in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. Watch it here.

Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo reprised their Barb And Star Go To Vista Del Mar characters, who gave viewers and nominees the inside scoop on where to buy their own damn trophies.

No one enjoyed Sacha Baron Cohen’s speech more than his wife, Isla Fisher.

Andra Day is the first Black star to win in the Best Actress category in 35 long years, following Whoopi Goldberg’s win in 1986 for The Color Purple.

As Amy Poehler dubbed him, an “all around silly-billy,” Joaquin Phoenix presented Andra Day with her award while sporting a tie and what looks like a very comfy hoodie jacket.

Chloé Zhao broke multiple records. She is the first Asian American to win Best Director and the second-ever woman to win in this category. Her film, the Frances McDorman-led Nomadland, also won Best Picture.
