Golden Globes: The Moments You Didn’t See on TV!
Hollywood’s glitziest night, the Golden Globes, delivered its usual dose of tears, cheers, and head-scratching moments. But as always, the real magic (and sometimes mayhem) happened when the cameras weren’t rolling. Our reporters were on the ground at the Beverly Hilton, catching all the behind-the-scenes action, from surprise reunions to award-winning wisdom.
Seth Rogen’s “The Studio” Gets New Material
First-time Golden Globe winner Seth Rogen, alongside the writing team for “The Studio,” wasn’t just there to accept an award for Best Comedy or Musical Series. He was on a mission for season two material!
“This is good poaching ground for us,” Rogen quipped backstage after their win. He even joked that his crew’s presence was perfectly timed with “One Battle After Another’s” victory.
Apparently, Hollywood bigwigs are lining up for cameos, and some will definitely make the cut for the new season, which starts filming next week. Could a Beverly Hilton reprise be in the cards?
We’ll have to wait and see!
“Set It Up” Reunion at the Bar!
Remember the rom-com “Set It Up”? Stars Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell had a sweet reunion by the bar – with Powell’s parents in tow!
His mom was apparently gushing over Deutch’s new film, “Nouvelle Vague,” while Powell played bartender. Meanwhile, just a few steps away, “SmartLess” co-hosts Jason Bateman and Will Arnett were making a beeline for the sushi bar.
Arnett, clearly a fan, grabbed a serving of fried rice with tuna and immediately went back for seconds. Bateman, justifying his own plate, confessed, “I had a salad at like 1 p.m.”
Priorities, people!
“Grief is Love”: The Heart of “Hamnet”
After clinching the award for Best Drama Film, the cast of “Hamnet” brought some serious warmth to the press room. Director Chloé Zhao was visibly moved as 12-year-old Jacobi Jupe, who plays the titular Hamnet, eloquently stated, “This film is all about grief and love, and grief is love.”
He added, “On this set, everyone was family. There wasn’t one person who was rude or mean, and we all worked together to create this incredible film.”
Co-stars Joe Alwyn, Jessie Buckley (who also snagged the Drama Actress Golden Globe), and Paul Mescal looked on like proud parents, sharing hugs and beaming with pride.
Original Score Gets the Axe
In a head-scratching moment, Ludwig Göransson’s win for Original Score for “Sinners” was handed out off-air. The decision was presumably made to trim time from the telecast, but it left many wondering why such a significant category was cut from the live broadcast.
Noah Wyle’s Close Call
Talk about cutting it close! As the show resumed, Noah Wyle and his wife, Sara Wells, were initially blocked from returning to their seats just before his category was called.
They finally managed to rush back to their table, settling in just moments before his name was announced as the winner for Best Actor in a TV Drama for “The Pitt.” Phew!
“The Secret Agent” Director’s Call to Action
Kleber Mendonça Filho, the Brazilian director behind “The Secret Agent,” which won Best Non-English-Language Film, used his platform in the press room to highlight the political power of cinema. Citing Brazil’s past corrupt leadership, Mendonça stated, “Cinema can be a way of expressing some grievances that we all have in terms of the society we live in.”
He then turned his attention to young U.S. filmmakers, urging them to utilize technology to express themselves. “That is what I want to see from U.S. filmmakers,” he declared.
Stellan Skarsgård Teases “Mamma Mia!” Sequel
After his surprise win for Best Supporting Movie Actor for “Sentimental Value,” Stellan Skarsgård was tight-lipped about a rumored “Mamma Mia!” sequel.
However, he did drop a tantalizing hint: despite Donna Sheridan’s (Meryl Streep) death in the second installment, “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” (2018), the magic of movies could always bring her back.
Huge news for Meryl Streep superfans!
Golden Globes Farewell
As the ceremony wrapped, the gentle chaos of Hollywood’s finest began their after-party migration. Emily Blunt, fresh from “The Smashing Machine,” linked arms with husband John Krasinski (who playfully sang on his way out), while Kate Hudson, Adam Scott, and Jean Smart filtered behind them.
Ushers, ever the taskmasters, shouted “walk and talk, walk and talk!” Gayle King navigated carefully in her heels, clutching the train of her beaded dress.
Wagner Moura, proudly carrying his winner’s envelope, waved to well-wishers. “White Lotus” stars Jason Isaacs and Aimee Lou Wood shared a boisterous laugh, and Glen Powell made sure his parents were still in sight.
Another Golden Globes in the books, and another night full of unforgettable moments, both on and off-screen.
