Snubs, Surprises and a Satanic Shout-
Out? Key Globes Moments
Regina King, Sandra Oh and Glenn Close give nods
to diversity, while Christian Bale thanks Satan for
Cheney inspiration
By Jocelyn Noveck
AP National Writer
t was a moment when everyone — ab-
solutely everyone — expected to see
an ebullient Lady Gaga climbing to
the stage in her dramatic periwinkle
gown. Instead, a visibly stunned Glenn
Close got the Golden Globe. But her
deeply personal speech about women’s
need for fulfillment outside the fami-
ly soon had the crowd on its feet, pro-
viding the emotional highpoint of the
night.
A year ago the Golden Globes were all
about #MeToo and Time’s Up. A year
earlier, it was all about politics. The
2019 Globes were much less overtly ac-
tivist or political, but speeches by Close
as well as co-host Sandra Oh and actress
I
Regina King kept issues of equality and
diversity alive in a more personal way.
Oh, and of course there was the usual
Globes craziness: “Bohemian Rhapso-
dy” as best drama? The groundbreak-
ing “Black Panther” snubbed? And
nothing for Bradley Cooper — really?
Some notable moments of the night,
in no particular order:
THE POWER OF NICE
Taking the stage for their opening
monologue, co-hosts Oh and Andy
Samberg had an explanation for why
they’d been chosen: they were “the
only two people left in Hollywood who
haven’t gotten in trouble for saying
something offensive.” Then they riffed
on that by pretending to roast people

During the 2016 Fertile Ground Festival, audiences called Hazardous Beauty “Wonderfully provocative, witty,
complex and brilliant. It was awesome to see two strangers meet and peel through the world’s stereotypes and
misconceptions to reveal the hearts of two such richly talented, yet scarred individuals. Brava!”
