Director Barry Jenkins\u2019 Moonlight won as best motion picture- drama (and was greeted by a standing ovation by the International Ballroom), but saw one of his strongest categories \u2013 best supporting actors, in which both Mahershala Ali and Naomie Harris were favorites- go to other talent: Aaron Taylor-Johnson for Nocturnal Animals and Viola Davis for Fences.  Favorite Casey Affleck took the Golden Globe for best actor-drama for his work in Manchester By The Sea, with Paul Verhoeven\u2019s controversial Elle making a strong showing with two wins \u2013 best foreign language film and best actress-drama for Isabelle Huppert, who beat local faves Natalie Portman and Amy Adams. Zootopia won in the animated feature category.<\/p>\n<p>Faithful to its tradition of recognizing upcoming talent and trend, the 2017 Globes showered awards on FX\u2019s Atlanta \u2013 best series, musical or comedy, and best actor in a TV series, musical-comedy for Donald Glover.  Netflix\u2019s newcomer The Crown beat a lot of heavy contenders, nabbing Globes for best series-drama and best actress in a drama series for Claire Foy, with Billy Bob Thornton taking the acting Globe in the category for another new series, Amazon\u2019s Goliath. AMC\u2019s limited series The Night Manager took almost all Globes in its category \u2013 with kudos to Tom Hiddleston and supporting actors Hugh Laurie and Olivia Colman \u2013 with The People Vs OJ Simpson taking the rest: best limited series and best actress\/limited series for Sarah Paulson.<\/p>\n<p>Amidst all the festivities our recipient of this year\u2019s Cecil B. deMille Award, Meryl Streep \u2013 introduced by Viola Davis with an eloquent, poignant speech about her multiple powers of observation and creation- took upon her to remind the gilded audience of what lies ahead. Streep\u2019s passionate speech lambasted Donald Trump and its supporters and urged the creative community to band together to preserve freedom. In an elegant gesture, Streep reminded all of the need to support a free press &#8211; \u201cthey will need us, and we certainly need them.\u201d Finally, in a voice overcome by emotion, Streep recalled her friend, \u201cPrincess Leia \u201c, and one of her favorite sayings: \u201ctake your broken heart and make it into art.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beverly Hills, CA&#8230;In the middle of the rainy winter of our discontent, with both a mega-storm and an impeding inauguration in the horizon, it was another day of sun for the 74th Golden Globe Awards.
