We hope you’ve enjoyed our Globes live blog tonight. You are free to keep reading it. We, however, are done writing it. Don’t stay up too late, and please turn the lights off, okay?
Don’t blame it on losing an award to Maggie Gyllenhaal. Oscar winner Frances McDormand appeared less than thrilled to be at the awards show long before she failed to pick up a Globe for her starring role in “Olive Kitteridge.”
It all started with Amy Adams’ speech for best actress in a musical or comedy. To be fair, Adams did seem somewhat unprepared. But we know McDormand could have faked it better. She is, after all, a first-class actress.
Lol Amy Adams talking about how “women have such a strong voice” today & Frances McDormand looking at her like “Are you for real right now?”
Well, it could be a mix of pent-up concern and anger. Last October, during a sit-down with the New York Times, McDormand talked about the plastic surgery phenomenon in Hollywood and how much it troubles her.
“I have not mutated myself in any way,” she told the Times. “Joel [Coen, her husband,] and I have this conversation a lot. He literally has to stop me physically from saying something to people — to friends who’ve had work. I’m so full of fear and rage about what they’ve done.”
If that’s the case, you can just imagine how many times her husband probably had to stop her along the red carpet and inside the Beverly Hilton. That’s enough to put anyone in a bad mood.
Eddie Redmayne was married a couple of weeks ago and had to cut his honeymoon short in order to attend the Golden Globes. It was all worth it, though, as he took home the best actor in a drama award for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in “The Theory of Everything.”
In his speech, he said that getting to know Hawking was one of the great joys of his life, although portraying him gave him daily panic attacks. This is the first win for Redmayne, and while he was largely favored for the award, he had tough competition. He was up against Steve Carell (“Foxcatcher”), David Oyelowo (“Selma”), Benedict Cumberbatch (“The Imitation Game”) and Jake Gyllenhaal (“Nightcrawler”).
Julianne Moore was nominated for two best actor awards tonight. One for so-called comedy “Maps to the Stars,” which she lost to Amy Adams, and one for the tearjerker “Still Alice,” which she won. She played the title character, a linguistics professor who learns she has early-onset Alzheimer’s.
Moore also won a Globe last year, for playing Sarah Palin in the television movie “Game Change.” Maybe that’s why she kept her speech to the point. She thanked her family, not to mention the movie’s directors, Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland, who adapted the screenplay. The pair were inspired to bring the story to the screen after Glatzer was diagnosed with ALS.
In the movie “Boyhood,” we watch as a kid named Mason (Ellar Coltrane) grows up from a little boy into a nearly grown young man, living with his mom and sister in a series of Texas towns, solidifying his relationship with an unsteady father, struggling through schools and step-parents and girlfriends and himself until, in the film’s final scenes, he starts college.
Audiences might think they’ve seen this kind of coming-of-age story before. But they’ve never seen a film like “Boyhood,” which in the hands of writer-director Richard Linklater turns from classic cinematic portraiture into something epic, transcendent and monumental. Filmed for a few days every year over 12 years, “Boyhood” breaks open a brand new genre: a fictional drama contoured and shaped by reality; a lightly scripted ensemble piece executed by both professional and non-professional actors; an experiment in time, narrative and cinematic practice that utterly transforms the boundaries of what film can look like and feel like and achieve.
Perhaps the most amazing thing about “Boyhood” is that it draws no attention to its own lofty ambitions. Working in his signature style of observational understatement, Linklater simply allows viewers to eavesdrop and watch, unnoticed, as Mason and his family go about their daily business. But within that simple premise, Linklater discovers multiple emotions and meanings, the film equivalent of a world in a drop of water.
The other nominees were “Foxcatcher”; “The Imitation Game”; “Selma”; “The Theory of Everything.”
Wes Anderson accepted the award for best comedy or musical for “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” and recited his thank yous in a quirky way you’d expect from someone who came to the awards show on a bicycle made of tuba parts. (At least that’s how Fey and Poehler joked that he got there.)
He quickly ran through a long list of people before launching into a list of random Hollywood Foreign Press member names.
Wes Anderson is the human personification of his movies I love him so much
The British actor played Stephen Hawking in “The Theory of Everything.”
The other nominees were Steve Carell, “Foxcatcher”; Benedict Cumberbatch, “The Imitation Game”; Jake Gyllenhaal, “Nightcrawler”; David Oyelowo, “Selma.”
History suggests that we’ll now see the Best Actor Oscar race come down to a battle between the men who won in the Globes’ two top acting categories: Redmayne and Michael Keaton.
If you found yourself admiring his red-carpet performance earlier this evening, well, he’s a former Burberry model.
No upset here. The film about a woman grappling with early-onset Alzheimer’s hasn’t been widely seen yet, but Moore is a hugely popular veteran who has been considered overdue for major awards-show bling. She’s been nominated for four Oscars without a win. She did win a Globe a couple years ago for her TV portrayal of Sarah Palin in “Game Change,” though.
The other nominees were Jennifer Aniston, “Cake”; Felicity Jones, “The Theory of Everything”; Rosamund Pike, “Gone Girl”; Reese Witherspoon, “Wild.”
More love for “Birdman.” As expected, Michael Keaton scooped up the award for best actor in a comedy or musical.
He gave a heartfelt speech, getting choked up while thanking his best friend, who is also his son. Sean Douglas — Michael Keaton uses a stage name for obvious reasons — is a Los Angeles songwriter, and he has penned songs for Jason Derulo and Demi Lovato, among other pop stars.
Keaton also talked about being the seventh of seven children, growing up in a “run-down farmhouse,” with a father who always worked two jobs. In his house, the rules were: Word hard, don’t quit, be appreciate, be grateful, be respectful, never whine, never complain and “always, for crying out loud, keep a sense of humor.”
Or, as our colleague Ann Hornaday described “The Grand Budapest Hotel” — “a compulsively arranged sacher torte of a movie, an elegant mousetrap of stories-within-stories that invokes history with a temperament ranging from winsome to deeply mournful.”
The other nominees were “Into the Woods”; “Pride”; “St. Vincent.”
Usually, this is the easy to predict category, as it’s generally less competitive than the Globe for Best Motion Picture – Drama; and “Birdman” had been considered a far more likely Oscar frontrunner. Go figure.

New TV shows are killing it tonight: Ruth Wilson’s win for best actress in a drama makes it two trophies for Showtime’s soap “The Affair.” That ties as the most on the TV side, as Amazon’s “Transparent” also has two. Add in Gina Rodriguez’s win for “Jane the Virgin,” and this really is a night of upsets against the more powerful shows.
A highly anticipated win for “Birdman’s” comeback-of-the-year star.
“I want to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press for even having a comedy category,” he said.
To his director, Alejandro González Iñárritu, he said: “Alejandro, my brother, there’s not an actor in this room who won’t show up for your next gig.”
The other nominees were Ralph Fiennes, “The Grand Budapest Hotel”; Bill Murray, “St. Vincent”; Joaquin Phoenix, “Inherent Vice”; Christoph Waltz, “Big Eyes.”

He may not have won the best screenplay award, but Richard Linklater was redeemed with the best director win. This is his first Golden Globe.
The win is no huge surprise, given the novel approach he took to making his movie “Boyhood.” He shot the drama over 12 years to capture the experience of one boy, played by Ellar Coltrane, coming of age.
“We’re all flawed in this world, no one’s perfect,” he said during his speech. He dedicated his award to his parents, as well as parents everywhere and “parents who are passing through this world just doing their best.” This is the second win for “Boyhood.” Patricia Arquette also won for best supporting actress.
Now here’s an upset. The British actress plays the Montauk waitress caught up in the affair of Showtime’s “The Affair,” which also won Best TV Series, Drama.
The other nominees were better-known and much-beloved Americans — Claire Danes, “Homeland”; Viola Davis, “How to Get Away With Murder”; Julianna Margulies, “The Good Wife”; Robin Wright, “House of Cards” — but maybe the HFPA reasoned they all have enough awards by now.
Always interesting to hear those UK actors drop their U.S. accents when they come up to pick up their trophies.
A real mainstream breakthrough for the king of indie film, never before nominated for a Golden Globe. It’s the second prize of the night for “Boyhood.”
The other nominees were Wes Anderson, “The Grand Budapest Hotel”; Ava DuVernay, “Selma”; David Fincher, “Gone Girl”; Alejandro González Iñárritu, “Birdman.”
Richard Linklater, “Boyhood”
Yes, yes, Clooney mentioned wife Amal in his acceptance speech. And it was adorable:
“It’s a humbling thing when you find someone to love,” he said, as the camera panned to his beaming wife. “Whatever alchemy it is that brought us together, I couldn’t be prouder to be your husband.”
While accepting the Cecil B. DeMille award, Clooney joked that after the Sony hack, the Golden Globes are the perfect time to see the people mentioned in the leaked e-mails and “apologize for all the snarky things we said about each other.”
J.K. Simmons just won an award for playing Fletcher, a high-strung jazz orchestra conductor, in the drama “Whiplash.” But don’t tell that to the many fans who know Simmons in one of his many memorable smaller roles. They don’t care about Fletcher. To them, Simmons will always be someone else, like the psychologist from “Law & Order” or the chief from “The Closer” or that neo-Nazi in “Oz.”

It says a lot about Simmons’ impressive work as a character actor that these are the conflicting reactions to his win:
I think people need to love JK Simmons for his truly greatest role as Assistant Chief Will Pope on "The Closer" #GoldenGlobes
Julianna Margulies and Don Cheadle introduced George Clooney as he was presented with the Cecil B. DeMille award, but it quickly turned into a roast of the A-list movie star. They did it under the guise of “fighting” over who was better friends with Clooney.
“I was in ‘Oceans 11, 12 and 13 with him,” Cheadle boasted.
“Who wasn’t?” Margulies said. “I, on the other hand, did over 100 episodes of “ER” with George. And I kissed him.”
“Who hasn’t?” Cheadle shot back, as the camera avoided showing Amal Clooney’s reaction.
We take it back — Netflix does have something to be excited about! Kevin Spacey landed his first Golden Globe win (out of eight nominations) for playing menacing politician Frank Underwood. And he was the first person to activate the five-second delay, as he tossed in an expletive in his speech.
Also: Why is Kate Mara (there as Spacey’s date) the first person to get a shout out in his speech, even though she was on the show for all of five minutes this season?

The two-time Oscar winner now has a Golden Globe for a TV show, “House of Cards.” It’s his first Golden Globe, can you believe it? That’s usually the easy one, you know?
“I cannot [bleeping] believe I won one,” he said, sounding dryly unimpressed, as usual.
The other nominees were Clive Owen, “The Knick”; Liev Schreiber, “Ray Donovan”; James Spader, “The Blacklist”; Dominic West, “The Affair,” who was our last best hope for a really interesting Golden Globe speech. Oh well, maybe someone will surprise us yet.
Oops, sorry Netflix — you’re no longer the hot new thing at the party. Though the HFPA loves “House of Cards,” Showtime’s “The Affair” beat it out for best TV drama.
“This is unreal,” creator Sarah Treem said with the giant cast behind her, which includes Dominic West, Joshua Jackson, Maura Tierney and Ruth Wilson. “It is a privilege and an honor to write for talent of this magnitude.”
“Ladies and gentleman, thank you very much. We are absolutely happy,” said one of the writers of the Russian film “Leviathan,” which won for best foreign film. That was one recipient’s entire speech.
Writers Oleg Negin and Andrey Zvyagintsev, who also directed the film, accepted the award. The movie also won the best screenplay award at the Cannes Film Festival.
Maggie Gyllenhaal must know how dazzled everyone is by the fact that both she and her brother, Jake, are nominated for awards this year — during her acceptance speech for best actress in a miniseries for “The Honourable Woman,” she name-dropped him a couple times. Except she didn’t actually say his name.
“I gave my speech to my brother so if I need help he’s going to bring it up to me,” Gyllenhaal promised at the beginning — and later thanked him for being such a great date.
Huge night for Amazon with another win for “Transparent,” a fairly unknown show that will likely get quite a few more viewers after tonight. For streaming TV services, the score is currently Amazon: 2, Netflix: 0. (That could change with the drama categories.)
Anyway, Jeffrey Tambor, who may be best-known to some as the dad from “Arrested Development” fought back tears as he accepted his win for best TV actor in a comedy — he stars as Maura, a 70-year-old transgender woman.
“This is much bigger than me,” he said. “Thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for putting us on the map and making people aware of our story.” Like the show’s creator Jill Soloway, he also dedicated the award to the transgender community.
The auteur can communicate just fine, but he felt the need to apologize nonetheless when accepting his best screenplay Golden Globe. “Sorry my English is terrible, my god,” he said at the end of a speech that started with him booming into the microphone: “How did we get here?”
“Birdman” is the nomination leader for movies tonight, with seven nods, and this is the film’s first win. This is Iñárritu’s first Golden Globe, although he’s been nominated twice before, for best director for 2006’s “Babel.” (He was also nominated for two Oscars for that movie.)
He thanked his cast during his speech. He said that words don’t have meaning without great actors to deliver them. “Mr. Michael Keaton,” he said. “Wow!”

He dedicated the award to the transgendered community. “Thank you, thank you, thank you for your courage, your inspiration, and for letting us be part of the change.”
The other nominees were: Louis C.K., “Louie”; Don Cheadle, “House of Lies”; Ricky Gervais, “Derek”; William H. Macy, “Shameless.”
Unlike the rambling Amy Adams, “Boyhood’s” Patricia Arquette came prepared with a written speech for her best supporting actress win for “Boyhood.” Arquette was the favorite for this category, and it’s her first Globe after three nominations for her starring role in the television series “Medium.”
Quite a collaborative project: Alejandro González Iñárritu, who is also the director, Nicolás Giacobone, Alexander Dinelaris, and Armando Bo all listed as writers sharing this award.
It’s the first prize of the night for “Birdman,” considered an Oscar frontrunner.
The other nominees were Wes Anderson, “The Grand Budapest Hotel”; Gillian Flynn, “Gone Girl”; Richard Linklater, “Boyhood”; Graham Moore, “The Imitation Game.”
Halfway through, the most controversial moments of the show have been Tina and Amy’s Cosby jokes — and this line from Jeremy Renner when he introduced an award with Jennifer Lopez.
“You want me to do it? I have the nails,” J-Lo said as she started to rip open the envelope.
“Yeah…you’ve got the globes, too,” Renner said, staring at her low-cut dress.
UH-OH. Cue Internet outrage:
"You got the globes, too." Ah, Renner can sexism on the fly. You stay classy, bro. #GoldenGlobes
Box office juggernaut “The LEGO Movie” was widely considered to be the favorite for the animated feature category, but it wasn’t to be. The action-packed and heartfelt “How to Train Your Dragon 2” took home the award, also beating out “Big Hero 6,” “The Book of Life” and “Boxtrolls.”
The first “How to Train Your Dragon” was an Oscar competitor in 2011, and there’s a good chance we’ll see the sequel on the Academy’s list, too. The first one is also distinguished for another reason: It made Brad Pitt cry.
She played the mother in “Boyhood,” Richard Linklater’s 12-years-in-the-making epic.
She’s the sister of David Arquette and Rosanna Arquette, but you knew that. And she won an Emmy a decade ago for “Medium.”
The other nominees were Jessica Chastain, “A Most Violent Year”; Keira Knightley, “The Imitation Game”; Emma Stone, “Birdman”; Meryl Streep, “Into The Woods.”
Not a bad average. This is Amy Adams’ second Golden Globe acting win of six nominations. (She also won last year for “American Hustle.”) Will it help her get nominated and/or win an Oscar? She probably hopes so, given that she’s never won an Academy Award. And she’s been nominated five times.
The Globe was considered a toss-up between Adams and Emily Blunt, who was up for “Into the Woods.” Adams played artist Margaret Keane in Tim Burton’s biopic about the soft-spoken painter responsible for those kitschy portraits of kids with — as the title reminds — oversized eyes.
On stage with a drink in hand, presenter (and three-time former Globes host) Ricky Gervais noted, “Going well, isn’t it? Let’s not ruin it.”
“No one wants to see me insult any of you rich, beautiful, overprivileged celebrities,” he noted, a shout out to his former hosting stints where he insulted everyone. “You’re better than ordinary people.”
Somehow, the prospect of a Bill Murray acceptance speech didn’t convince the Globes voters to give the miniseries best supporting actor award to the “Olive Kitteridge” star. Instead, the prize went to Matt Bomer for “The Normal Heart,” based on Larry Kramer’s play about about the HIV/AIDS crisis in the 1980s.
“Larry Kramer, thank you for anger, and your passion, and writing a story that changed so many lives,” Bomer said. He also thanked his husband and three kids for dealing with his weight loss for the role, particularly when he got “really grumpy when you ate pizza in front of me.”

Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson took home the prize for best score for his work in “The Theory of Everything.” “When you’re given such great material, it feels like your job is easy,” the composer said in his speech. It was the first win for “The Theory of Everything,” which is nominated for four awards.
Prince gave out the award for best song, and when the Purple One came onstage, the crowd went wild. The award went to Common — who also starred in the movie — and John Legend for their song “Glory” from “Selma.” “I want to thank God … and the Hollywood Foreign Press,” joked Common, who then went on to give a heartfelt speech about the power of the film. “‘Selma’ has awakened my humanity,” he said shortly after the camera panned to his costar Oprah Winfrey, who appeared moved.
So far, the Globes have handed out some major TV awards to shows that you maybe didn’t know existed. A quick explainer:
“Jane the Virgin”: A critically-beloved CW telenovela about a woman (Jane, played by Globes winner Gina Rodriguez) who accidentally gets artificially inseminated with her boss’s baby. Really!
“Transparent”: An Amazon series starring Jeffrey Tambor as a transgender woman, who goes through the transition late in life; the show begins as he reveals the news to his dysfunctional family.
It’s the song from “Selma,” and it was written by John Legend and Common — how about that?
“I want to thank God, and the Hollywood Foreign Press,” said Common.
Here they are performing the song on “Good Morning America.”
The other nominees were: The theme from “Big Eyes,” “Mercy Is” from “Noah,” “Opportunity” from “Annie,” and “Yellow Flicker Beat” from “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part I.”
To make up for the fact you probably hadn’t heard any of those songs, the HFPA sent out Prince to make the presentation, and everyone was pretty excited about that.
And if you can remember the composer’s first name, you can remember his last name: Johann Johannsson.
This was an upset, at least from the perspective of this room, where we figured “Birdman” had it sewed up with its “percussive sounds adding a certain unsettling discordance.”
The other nominees were “The Imitation Game,” “Gone Girl,” and “Interstellar.”
“Transparent,” the Amazon series starring Jeffrey Tambor as a transgender woman, was a surprise win for Best TV Comedy, as the show is slowly starting to generate more buzz. In an emotional speech, creator Jill Soloway thanked the trans community — and dedicated the award to Leelah Alcorn (the transgender teenager who died of an apparent suicide last month) along with “too many trans people who die too young.”

The victory for the comedy about a transsexual dad is a bit of a first for Amazon’s production company, and a bit of an upset over Netflix’s “Orange Is the New Black.”
Shout-out from the stage for Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos who — obligatory disclosure notice — is the owner of The Washington Post.
Other nominees were “Girls”; “Jane the Virgin”; “Silicon Valley.”
A chance to award an up-and-coming breakout star? The HFPA is on it! A tearful Gina Rodriguez (of CW’s “Jane the Virgin”) thanked the CW and its parent CBS, along with her actual parents for inspiring her to keep dreaming.
“This award is so much more than myself,” she said, stopping several times as she started to cry.
Tina and Amy introduce a new Hollywood Foreign Press Association member, a North Korean army sergeant who wants a photo with Meryl Streep. The hosts begs Streep to play along: “We got a lot of weird emails that can’t get out, you gotta do this for us.”
During their monologue, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler razzed a number of nominees, including Reese Witherspoon (“She did all her own walking. It was so brave.”), Steve Carell and Emma Stone (who they compared to a Big Eyes painting). But when they began talking about Jennifer Aniston, who is nominated for “Cake,” the former “Friends” star looked utterly terrified.
She had nothing to worry about, as it turns out. The comedians instead chided the audience, explaining what cake is — the sweet, fluffy dessert the A-listers may have never eaten.
Aniston was also the presenter for the first award of the night, and a walk up the stairs to the stage revealed a lot more leg than the actress probably anticipated. Poehler and Fey also invited Cumberbatch up to co-present the award, which appears to have been a last-minute decision. It certainly seemed that way, given how flustered Aniston seemed as she flubbed her lines before asking the teleprompter to reset.
Jennifer Aniston is now the only person alive who doesn't like Benedict Cumberbatch. God, that was awkward.
“You can say anything in the world and get in trouble, so I’m just going to say this: ‘thank you.'” — Wise words from Billy Bob Thornton accepting his best actor in a miniseries prize.
Ooh, another upset, with Thornton winning for “Fargo,” over “True Detective’s” much-lauded Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. Second win of the night for “Fargo.”
The other nominees were Martin Freeman, “Fargo” and Mark Ruffalo, “The Normal Heart.”
Funny moment between the presenters. J-Lo offers to open the envelope “because I got the nails.”
The “Fargo” executive producer explains the meaning of the show while accepting the best TV movie or miniseries prize: “You can change the world not through great acts of heroism, just by being decent to people.” He noted they’re now going back to the frozen tundra to film Season 2.
The Hollywood Foreign Press just confirmed what we all knew was coming: J.K. Simmons, who wowed in Sundance favorite “Whiplash” as a maniacal jazz ensemble conductor, took home the first award of the evening, for best supporting actor in a movie.
In any other year, Edward Norton would have likely had a shot at the prize, for his role as a crazed method actor in “Birdman.” But it was a long time coming for Simmons, who has had a long career as a character actor, including a recurring role on “Law & Order.” This is the only nomination for “Whiplash.”
In his acceptance speech, Simmons thanked writer-director Damien Chazelle, co-star Miles Teller, and Jason Reitman (a producer on the film), who Simmons credits with alerting him to the script.

Uh, sorry to everyone who bet on this category. Uzo Aduba was considered the frontrunner for this award (or even Allison Janney for “Mom”), but looks like “Downton Abbey” is still a pretty big force. Froggatt seemed pretty surprised as well.
This is a bit of a surprise — Joanne Froggatt of “Downton Abbey.” Her first big U.S. acting trophy. Frankly, we expected Uzo Aduba, of “Orange is the New Black.”
Aaaaand nobody in America has a perfect Globe ballot.
Jennifer Aniston and Benedict Cumberbatch presented the first award of the night — to J.K. Simmons, for his role as a tough-as-nails college jazz ensemble conductor in “Whiplash.”
It is the first major film award for the longtime character actor, who just turned 60 on Friday, and AARP is mighty proud of him.
You knew this was coming: Tina and Amy have dueling Cosby impressions joking about all of the allegations that he’s drugged multiple women, including a reference to Sleeping Beauty, who “just thought she was getting coffee with Bill Cosby.”
Tina Fey points out George Clooney married Amal Alamuddin this year, and rattles off Amal’s many, many impressive achievements. “Tonight, her husband is getting a lifetime achievement award,” she deadpans as the audience “ooohhhhs” loudly. Clooney thinks it’s hilarious.
Amy/Tina say that Steve Carell really had to stretch in “Foxcatcher” to play “a paranoid murderous billionaire” because in real life, he’s a “paranoid, murderous millionaire.”
Tina and Amy start off making fun of the Sony North Korean hackers and making horribly-reviewed “The Interview” a national news story: “Forcing us all to pretend we wanted to see it.”
That’s how an NPR correspondent said it the other day, and you know those people know their foreign-name pronounciations. Savannah Guthrie just said it like that on the red carpet to his face, and he did not correct her. So I think we’re solid.
We’ll make it even easier for you. It’s “yellow” with an “oh” on each end.
Brad Pitt also explained it the other week at the Palm Springs International Film Festival the other day by breaking into song.
A common question we’re hearing, so here you go: It’s Ryan Guzman, her co-star in upcoming psychological horror movie “The Boy Next Door.” From what we can tell by the previews, he’s a high school student and she’s a teacher; they have an affair and obviously things go awry.
Cumber-obsessives may have been mopey for a few weeks after the news that Benedict Cumberbatch would soon be married to stage actress and director Sophie Hunter, who is pregnant with the couple’s first child. But who could possibly be mad now, seeing them together looking pretty much perfect?
Cumberbatch is up for the best actor award for the drama category, for his role as Alan Turing in “The Imitation Game.” He’s also a highly skilled photobomber.
Cable TV always dominates the TV category, but luckily, we have Kerry Washington on behalf of the broadcast networks — she’s always nominated for “Scandal.”
Siblings Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal (nominated for “Nightcrawler” and “The Honourable Woman,” respectively) walked the carpet together and bantered with Seacrest about their musical tastes.
Giuliana Rancic got her George Clooney interview after all! She did it by luring the actor over with a bottle of his custom tequila. She offered him a shot but he turned it down. “I have to speak tonight,” Clooney said, looking mildly annoyed. (It’s true — he’s getting the Cecil B. DeMille Award.) Rancic took a shot anyway, and reported it was great.
Aw, just kidding. We’re not going to play that game. I mean, seriously, can’t a lady step out without her fiance of two-and-two-thirds years now and then without everyone making a tabloid case of it? Seriously, you all, just shut up, okay?
Yes. Jennifer Aniston. But where is Justin Theroux. Where are you hiding him?
Emma Stone left her boyfriend Andrew Garfield at home and brought her brother Spencer as her date. And really, who could blame her? He seems like a fun guy. He’s wearing a headband, chewing gum and wearing an ill-fitting gray suit — and even has a “Game Over” Clooney wedding celebration T-shirt tucked into his pocket. He also agreed to pose for the “glam-cam,” which basically means a cameraman gave him an elevator-eyes once-over. And Spencer kind of worked it, if only because of his ridiculous facial expressions.
Here’s a look at the outfit. (Oh, and Emma’s jumper.)
Emma Stone (nominated for “Birdman”) looked horrified as E!’s glam cam panned up and down her outfit — but she gamely played along and showed off the bow on the back of her jumpsuit.
Think George Clooney only showed up to the E! red carpet if they promised to keep him away from Giuliana Rancic, who routinely loses her mind around him? He may be re-thinking that decision after Ryan Seacrest pulled something even more humiliating: Showing off customized t-shirts that the entire camera crew wore as a tribute to George and Amal’s wedding. (The t-shirts featured a bride and groom with the phrase “game over” on it.)
Clooney looked embarrassed on behalf of everyone there, and with good reason.
Newlyweds Amal and George Clooney are walking the red carpet. It’s her first time at a big movie awards show, but the “most fascinating” woman is holding her own next to all the starlets. She’s sporting a black dress and white gloves (that everyone on Twitter already has an opinion about).
Adam Levine doesn’t have anything to talk about that’s Golden Globes related, but he is one of NBC’s biggest stars from “The Voice” — so he plugs Maroon 5’s new album while talking with Ryan Seacrest.

Between interviews, E! captured good sport Jake Gyllenhaal arriving with sister Maggie. He was graciously going down a line of fans, who were handing over their phones so that he could take selfies with them in the background. (Autographs are so 2005.)
Confirmed: Ryan Seacrest (routinely mocked for being short) is officially taller than Kevin Hart, who clocks in at about 5’4″. Big celebration by Seacrest, triumphantly towering over him on the red carpet.
Julianne Moore (nominated for “Still Alice”) confirms that she is the one that Givenchy Instagram account teased earlier today. Did she help inspire the design? “I did say that I liked feathers,” Moore confirmed, as the camera pans to the bottom of her dress, indeed covered in feathers.
Even though co-hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler swear this is the last year they’ll host the Golden Globes, you can see them together again in about a year: Today, we got the first look at their new movie “Sisters,” which will debut next Christmas.
Allison Williams of “Girls” shows off her bracelet in the mani cam, and explains that it’s supposed to be twisted — which she admits was tough to get used to since she’s such a Type A personality.
Emily Blunt (nominated for “Into the Woods”) chats with Ryan Seacrest without her husband John Krasinski, which is probably self-preservation on Krasinski’s part.
Lena Dunham tells Ryan Seacrest that she won’t be discretely checking Twitter to see what people think of the season premiere of “Girls,” which airs tonight — because she deleted the app.
“I deleted Twitter because I’m trying to create a safer space for myself emotionally,” Dunham explains. Probably a good call.
Side note: Dunham is wearing a Zac Posen dress, and as she does at every award show, mentions that he used to be her babysitter when she was little.
If you’re watching E! right now, then you’re no doubt entirely engrossed by what’s going on with the mani-cam, where ladies show off their nail art, and the stiletto-cam.
Lorde (nominated for best original song “Yellow Flicker Beat” from “The Hunger Games”) is wearing a custom Narciso Rodriguez suit/crop top and some really fancy Neil Lane jewelry. Ryan Seacrest asks her to ballpark how much all of it costs. “I have no idea and I’m terrified,” Lorde confesses.
“You just get drunk at this event,” Kevin Spacey explains to Ryan Seacrest, crashing his interview with Ethan Hawke of “Boyhood,” who is at the Globes for the first time.
Another fun fact: Spacey has lost at the Golden Globes seven times, but he decided to show up anyway. He’s also walking the red carpet with former “House of Cards” co-star Kate Mara, even though he may have killed her character at the beginning of last season. Apparently all is forgiven.
How you can tell Gina Rodriguez (nominated for CW’s “Jane the Virgin”) is a newcomer to the red carpet circuit: She’s beyond thrilled to test out E!’s weird stiletto cam. (No word on where the mani cam is tonight, though.)
Ryan Seacrest can’t handle that Naomi Watts’s necklace is made ENTIRELY of diamonds, and tells her this repeatedly. She laughs nervously as her husband Liev Schrieber (nominated for Showtime’s “Ray Donovan) stands by.
Bill Hader was a cast member on “SNL,” but tells Giuliana Rancic that he got way better food when he was the host. The things you learn on the red carpet.
What’s our famed and faithful E! host wearing? Himself.
In some chatter with Giuliana Rancic, the host toted the tux from his own line, aptly named “Ryan Seacrest Distinction.” (It’s available at Macy’s, in case you were interested.)

@RobinGivhan It's both. The lining is 100% American-made hubris.
E! is premiering its first original scripted series soon — “The Royals,” starring Elizabeth Hurley as the queen of England. About 10 minutes into the red carpet show, the network has already subjected us to one trailer. This likely isn’t the last you’ll hear about the show tonight, so just get ready!
The Golden Globes awards show is the one with the good speeches. Everyone’s a little loose and tipsy thanks to the free-flowing booze and convivial table seating; no one’s pompous or nervous because, hey, it’s not like it’s the Oscars. It’s just the Golden Globes! While the rest of the Internet looks back on wacky Globes moments of the past (and here, and here), we’ll look ahead and predict who might give the speech you’ll all be talking about tomorrow. The nominees for Best Golden Globes Acceptance Speech are. . .
Bill Murray: He’s more likely to win for his supporting role in TV’s “Olive Kitteridge” than for Best Actor in a Comedy (“St. Vincent”) – that’s Michael Keaton’s to lose. But if he does win, you can expect great things: He’s Bill Murray, the most finely calibrated ironist of our times, never afraid to let his contempt for Hollywood rituals shine through. Here he is picking up a Golden Globe in 2004 for “Lost in Translation.”
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: She’s TV’s answer to Meryl Streep when it comes to awards shows. With five Emmys, six SAGs and one Globe under her belt, she knows how to deliver a witty and memorable speech when her name is called, as it probably will be again tonight for Best Actress in a TV Comedy (“Veep”). Consider her last Emmy win, which somehow involved making out with Bryan Cranston.
Dominic West: There’s a lot of pent-up love for this British actor who has won a cult following for “The Wire” and “The Hour” but never any major U.S. awards. With “The Affair,” this could be his year, which is great because he’s as rakish and wry and naughty in real-life as he was as Baltimore Police Detective Jimmy McNulty. He also seems like he might enjoy a cocktail or two. Sure, he was a little stiff when picking up a BAFTA a couple years ago, but we’ll blame the uptight conventions of British awards shows.
Woody Harrelson: The mainstream awards have eluded him since an Emmy for “Cheers” a quarter-century ago, which is such a shame, because here’s a charismatic individualist who likes to party – just the kind of guy you count on to enliven a show. Of course, his “True Detective” co-star Matthew McConaughey is favored to win in this category, but we heard enough of his awards-show shtick during his Oscar run-up last year.
Emma Stone: Another dark-horse. If she gets a chance to deliver a speech tonight, it would be a major upset – Patricia Arquette is highly favored to win Best Supporting Actress for “Boyhood.” But the “Birdman” star has a shot, and while she’s never won a major award before, her natural charm on screen suggests she could bring a certain wit and ease to the podium, a la fellow millennial Jennifer Lawrence.

Big names are headed for the red carpet now, but for the past few hours, many — or at least many of their publicists — have taken to social media to give us a taste of what to expect.
If Reese Witherspoon is opting for donuts instead of a juice fast on the day before the awards, she is our hero. (But do we really believe her?)
If Jay Duplass went to a pre-Globe tea party, does that mean he’ll be at the ceremony for “Transparent” instead of at home with his bro watching “Togetherness”? (Their show premieres tonight on HBO)
Ava DuVernay has the nominee parlance down. She’s just happy to be nominated. (Text: “We’ve already won! We made a film we believe in, and now it’s out in theaters and moving in the world! All that’s left to do? PARTY! #celebratelife”)
It’s Rosamund Pike’s first time at the Golden Globes (nominated as lead actress for her terrifying role in “Gone Girl”) and she tells Ryan Seacrest she just had a baby five weeks ago — but she won’t tell him the baby’s name. Ryan gives a shout-out to the unnamed baby, watching the red carpet show from a hotel suite.
Meanwhile, Giuliana Rancic can’t get over Pike’s “revealing dress” with so much skin and so many cut-outs, especially five weeks post-baby. Seacrest admits he was thinking the same thing but didn’t want to say it.
E! is on, your popcorn and wine are at the ready and the celebs are on their way down the red carpet. In between the celebrity arrivals, catch up on what you need to know:
Where to watch:
The show airs Sunday, Jan. 11 on NBC at 8 p.m. (All times Eastern.)
What time to watch until:
Technically 11 p.m., but depending on acceptance speeches, it may go a few minutes over.
The hosts:
Best friends and NBC favorites Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will host the show for the third — and final — time. Really, they mean it, they’re done!
Who’s going to win:
We took our best guesses here, but we’re pretty sure it’s going to be a big night for Michael Keaton’s superhero comeback movie “Birdman” (with a field-leading seven nominations) as well as Richard Linklater’s “Boyhood.”
The red carpet:
Ryan Seacrest skipped the Emmys red carpet this year, but never fear: He and Giuiliana Rancic will be harassing all the celebrities on “Live From the Red Carpet” starting at 6 p.m. on E!. (It will also be live-streamed on E! Online.)
At 7 p.m., NBC offers its own red carpet preview, interviewing stars with the “Today” show team
