There’s nothing Hollywood loves more than Hollywood -- and, of course, making fun of it. Fallon’s opening number, a tribute to awards darling La La Land, was the perfect way to kick off an awards show in the city of stars.
It began -- as many Los Angeles days do -- with a bunch of people sitting in traffic. This time, the freeway was replaced by the Golden Globes carpet, and a sea of stretch limos. The Stranger Things squad rapped, Nicole Kidman and Amy Adams danced, and Westworld’s Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) and Game of Thrones’ Kit Harington made appearances.
Of course, Justin Timberlake and Fallon also shared a Ryan Gosling/Emma Stone-style dance (only afterFallon hilariously turned down Tina Fey). We'd watch that remake.

And just like that: A new bromance is born. We totally ‘ship it.
Davis and Streep shared the screen in 2008's Doubt, and Davis's introduction for Streep's Cecil B. DeMille award was pure poetry. Viola, please introduce everything forever.
"Dame Streep," said a reverent Davis. "Her artistry reminds of the impact of what it means to be an artist, which is to make us feel less alone."

Streep's speech was perfect as well.
2016 was an exceptional year for movies. La La Landmay have swept its categories, but with Comedy and Drama separated for the Globes, Moonlight's victory was imminent. Barry Jenkins' poignant and understated story of one boy's journey to manhood is stirring, immense and not to be missed.
Fallon may have meant it to be innocent, but his impersonation of Chris Rock immediately ignited criticism.

It's an awful waste to make Vergara -- a beautiful, hilarious, talented actress -- do the same bit every time. We get it, she has an accent. Must it always be poked fun at?
