The Golden Globes aired Sunday night and the unofficial kickoff to Hollywood’s award season served glamour, laughs and a few sentimental tears. Globe voters honored TV and films that explored themes of aging, immigration, acceptance and survival, but the tone of the show was largely light and celebratory, in keeping with an event historically considered Hollywood’s biggest – and booziest – party. From host Nikki Glaser’s best lines to some sincerely sweet acceptance speeches, highlights from the 82nd Golden Globes follow below: Globes host Nikki Glaser – the first standalone, female host for the event – did what she does best: playfully roast celebrities. Glaser kicked off her monologue by cracking a joke about the show being “Ozempic’s biggest night,” referencing the popular weight loss drug, and later poked fun at Timotheé Chalamet’s name (and facial hair), even featuring Adam Sandler saying Chalament’s name in his signature comedic cadence. Double nominee Selena Gomez and her fiancé Benny Blanco also made the monologue. Glaser joked that Blanco, who accompanied his fiancée Gomez to the show, was only there “because of the genie who granted him that wish.”
