Jimmy Fallon opened the ceremony with a long homage toLa La Land, with cameos fromNicole Kidman,Amy Adams,Ryan Reynolds,Tina Fey,Justin Timberlake, and others. His opening speech was marred by a brief delay after histeleprompter broke.[18]
Meryl Streep, recipient of theGolden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award, used her acceptance speech to criticize, without stating names,President-electDonald Trump's alleged imitation of disabledNew York Times journalistSerge F. Kovaleski, stating: "Disrespect invites disrespect. Violence incites violence. When powerful people use their position to bully we all lose."[19][20] On the subject ofdiversity inHollywood, Streep said, "Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners, and if we kick them all out, you'll have nothing to watch butfootball andmixed martial arts, which are notthe arts."[21][22]
Press coverage of the event largely focused onMeryl Streep's remarks and the responses to them, and this also dominated popular responses, generating what theBBC characterized as a "firestorm onTwitter".[23][24]Donald Trump responded to Streep's comments on Twitter, describing her as "one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood" and a "Hillary flunky", and stating, "For the 100th time, I never 'mocked' a disabled reporter (would never do that) but simply showed him 'groveling' when he totally changed a 16 year old story that he had written in order to make me look bad. Just more very dishonest media!"[20][25]
Lorenzo Soria, president of theHollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) which runs the annual Golden Globes ceremony, wrote onTwitter on January 10: "As an organisation of journalists, the HFPA stands by your defence of free expression and we reject any calls forcensorship".[26]Dana White, president of theUltimate Fighting Championship, responded to Streep's reference tomixed martial arts (MMA), defending the sport as an art, and saying that "the last thing I expect is for an uppity 80-year-old lady to be in our demographic and love mixed martial arts".[22]Scott Coker, president ofBellator MMA, also defended MMA as an art, and highlighted the sport's diversity; he invited Streep to attend an event.[22]
Tom Hiddleston received backlash on social media for mentioning thatSudanesemedical workers had "binge-watched"The Night Manager, while accepting the award forBest Actor – Miniseries or Television Film. He apologized after the ceremony for his "inelegantly expressed" remarks.[27]
Richard Lawson, reviewing the ceremony inVanity Fair, stated thatJimmy Fallon's opening homage toLa La Land began as "a fun, starry sampling of this year's nominees", but had "worn out its welcome" before the end.[18] Lawson described Fallon as an "oddly tone-deaf" host, and criticized his opening speech: "The jokes were stale and wheezy and Fallon's lovable-cute shtick was more wearying than it was charming." He praisedKristen Wiig andSteve Carell's introduction of theBest Animated Feature Film award as "hilarious [...] weird, inspired, clever without smirking".[18]
The Guardian's film criticPeter Bradshaw expressed disappointment thatLa La Land's success "shut out a lot of contenders that are now in danger of being forgotten and losing momentum", particularly highlightingNocturnal Animals andMoonlight. He praisedIsabelle Huppert's win forBest Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama, calling it "the most extraordinary award".[28]
The ceremony averaged aNielsen 5.6 ratings/18 share,[29] and was watched by 20.02 million viewers.[30] The ratings was an eight percent increase from theprevious year's ceremony's viewership of 18.5 million, becoming the third highest in a decade.[31]
