Golden Globes 2018: The 7 things everyone will be talking about Monday

Now that the 75th annual Golden Globes is over, here are the 7 most memorable moments of the night to help you make it through Monday morning at the water cooler.

1. Time’s Up’s time is now

Time’s Up put out the call for men and women to wear black or sport a Time’s Up lapel pin in solidarity with victims of sexual abuse, and they did. The blackout was inspired by the #MeToo movement founded by Tarana Burke who attended the show as Michelle Williams’ date. Other prominent women brought along activist dates as well.

2. Oprah gives everyone all the feels

Oprah Winfrey accepted the Cecil B. DeMille Award with an impassioned speech that left the audience on its feet.

“I want all the girls watching here now to know that a new day is on the horizon,” she said.

As the camera panned the room, many stars were even tearing up.

3. Tommy is in the room

While James Franco accepted his award for playing Tommy Wiseau in “The Disaster Artist,” he invited “The Room” star and director to the stage. The two hugged. But as Wiseau reached for the mike, Franco stiff-armed him as if to say not so fast.

4. Seth Meyers went from hosting to ghosting

Seth Meyers opened the show taking aim at Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey and others caught up in Hollywood sexual misconduct scandals. “For the male nominees in the room tonight, this is the first time in three months it won’t be terrifying to hear your name read out loud.”

While Meyers came out fighting, he then disappeared and was rarely seen again for the rest of the show.

5. Natalie Portman claps back

While presenting the best director award with Ron Howard, Natalie Portman took a dig, saying “and here are the all-male nominees.”

6. Guillermo Del Toro fights the power

Guillermo Del Toro was giving his acceptance speech for his director win when the band started to play. “Lower the music,” he said. “It’s taken 25 years, give me a minute.” They eventually stopped and let him finish his speech.

Later in the night, Gary Oldman was not as successful in getting the band to stop.

7. The new blue dress debate?

Frances McDormand touched on politics while she accepted the best actress award for “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” in a blue dress. Or was it? Welcome to the new blue dress debate.
