2015 Golden Globes offer memorable moments, some of them BOYHOOD

The Hollywood Foreign Press announced the winners of the 72nd Annual (2015) Golden Globe Awards at a gala today, with co-hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler offering up a funny final perfomance, if their "that's it for us" can be believed. And they didn't disappoint. From enlisting comedian Margaret Cho's help with a routine spoofing North Korean rigidity to their game of "who would you pick to spend the night with," these two brought their A game to the evening and had the audience rocking. One of their most memorable bits came when they detailed all the tremendous accomplishments of George Clooney's high-powered international attorney-activist wife Amal Ramzi Clooney, then deadpanned "and her husband is being honored tonight for a lifetime achievement award. "

Clooney, not to be outdone, accepted the Cecil B. DeMille Award with a speech that touched everyone in the audience. Eighty percent of you will walk out of this building thinking you're a loser tonight, he said, but then assured them with heartfelt conviction all that they're winners because they get to do what they love to do and their in this facility being honored for their work.

Yet, the night belonged to Richard Linklater. Linklater, whose "Boyhood" was a project that spanned a dozen years, won for best director-drama, best film-drama, and best supporting actress (Patricia Arquette).

Wes Anderson too the stage to accept the Golden Globe for best film-comedy or musical and drew applause, but nothing as thunderous as when Michael Keaton accepted the Golden Globe for best actor in a comedy-musical for "Birdman," choked up when talking about his family and the debt he owed his parents, and shared intimate details about his past, or when Kevin Spacey took the stage to accept the best actor-TV drama award and said, "This is the eighth time I've been nominated. I can't fucking believe I won. " The F-word was bleeped out, but you could tell what he was saying, and it wasn't even as impactful as when he told a story about paying a visit and tribute to Stanley Kramer and praising him. Just as Kramer humbly told him, "I just want to be better," Spacey said that was all he was trying to do.

I'm not sure the co-hosts could be any better. Fey and Poulter knocked it out of the park again and even ventured into touchy Ricky Gervais territory by throwing in a few Bill Cosby jokes. In talking about "Into the Woods" in their opening dialogue they did a rundown on each character, and when they got to Sleeping Beauty they added, "who just thought she was having coffee with Bill Cosby. "
