The Golden Globe Awards 2017: all the winners and highlights

The 74th Golden Globes held last night at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles and as expected, it was star-studded. The only thing that maybe wasn’t expected was Brad Pitt’s surprise appearance on stage to present Moonlight, the winner for Best Drama Motion Picture, a film he co-produced. Last night’s outing was Pitt’s second public appearance since the crash of Brangelina.

One of the biggest winners of the night was romance/drama film, La La Land. The movie clutched for itself seven Golden Globes including Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy (Ryan Gosling), Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy Motion Picture (Emma Stone), Best Musical or Comedy Motion Picture and Best Director of a Motion Picture (Damien Chazelle).

Viola Davis who recently got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame made another win as Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for the movie, Fences which she co-starred alongside Denzel Washington.

Shockingly, newly released biographical film lost out at the awards last night. Pharrell Williams was nominated for Best Original Score but lost to Justin Hurwitz (La La Land).
