Jimmy Fallon kicked off the 74th Golden Globes Awards Show with a musical number that incorporated many of the night's stars, followed by a moment of mild panic as he started his opening monologue and realized that his teleprompter was broken (watch his ad-lib via a video posted by the Hollywood Reporter). A second unit was quickly brought in, but not before he did a few impromptu dance steps to keep the crowd entertained. After that, smooth sailing as the winners were announced:
- The first award of the night went to Aaron Taylor-Johnson for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for his role in Nocturnal Animals.
- Billy Bob Thornton nabbed the Best Actor in a TV Series, Drama award for Goliath and jokingly thanked the Hollywood Foreign Press for picking him over Better Call Saul's Bob Odenkirk.
- The award for Best Actress in a TV Series, Comedy or Musical, went to Tracee Ellis Ross for Black-ish. "It's my first time here, guys. It's a nice room. I like it," she noted before giving a shoutout to "women of color and colorful people whose stories, ideas, thoughts are not always considered worthy."
- Next up: the award for Best TV Series, Comedy or Musical, which went to FX's Atlanta.
- Best Actress in a Miniseries or TV Movie went to Sarah Paulson for her role as lawyer Marcia Clark in The People v. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story.
- Following Paulson's award, appropriately, the honor for Best Miniseries or TV Movie was bestowed upon The People v. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story.
- The Best Supporting Actor, TV went to Hugh Laurie for The Night Manager. Laurie dipped his toes into political waters, making reference to the GOP and noting, "I accept this award on behalf of psychopathic billionaires everywhere."
- Justin Hurwitz took home the award for Best Original Score for La La Land, while the movie's "City of Stars" won Best Original Song honors.
- The Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture award went to Viola Davis for Fences. "It's not every day that Hollywood thinks of translating a play to screen," an emotional Davis said, referencing her own father and thanking playwright August Wilson for telling a story that also resonated with his own. "It doesn't scream 'moneymaker.' ... But it does scream 'art.' It does scream 'heart.'"
- Olivia Colman won the award for Best Supporting Actress, TV for The Night Manager.
- The Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical went to Ryan Gosling for La La Land, who noted "this wasn't the first time I've been mistaken for Ryan Reynolds."
