WORST Red Carpet Won't Forgive Pregnant Keira Knightley's Chanel Maternity Wear"The Imitation Game" star is preggers and up for a Best Supporting Actress award. Her butterfly-and-feather-print Chanel dress, however, looked more "Little House on the Prairie" than red-carpet ready.

BESTAdrian Grenier: The Color PurpleNot everyone can pull off purple, but Adrian Grenier, who played Vincent Chase in HBO's "Entourage," is not just anyone.

BESTJ.K. Simmons Chokes UpThe actor wins Best Supporting Actor for his brusque performance in "Whiplash," then scours the audience for his wife, finding her "hiding behind the cameraman."

WORSTJeremy Renner Distracted by Jennifer Lopez' 'Globes'Just read the teleprompter, Jeremy Renner. It was the only thing asked of you.

He just had to go there, didn't he?

BESTGina Rodriguez and CW Globes Virgins No MoreGina Rodriguez's win for "Jane The Virgin" was historic for The CW, winning the fledgling network its first trophy, but her speech also drove home how important the win was. "[This award] represents a culture that wants to see themselves as heroes," said the Puerto Rican actress from the podium. It's inspirational, indeed, as the country continues to get more diverse and fictional onscreen worlds still struggle to keep up.

BESTJill Soloway Honors Her "Trans Parent" During "Transparent" Win"Transparent" creator Jill Soloway thanked the trans community, and gave a special shout-out to her own "trans parent," saying, "I want to thank you for coming out because in doing so you made a break for freedom and you told your truth.

WORSTThe Show's Background MusicIf there's one area where show organizers saved money, it was on the stock '80s corporate training video music that played in and out of the commercial breaks. How about all that great music from those movies and television shows you're honoring?

BESTKristen Wiig and Bill Hader Butcher Classic Movie LinesBefore the writing team behind "Birdman" won a Golden Globe, the "Saturday Night Live" alums announcing the nominees pulled off a rarity on an awards show stage: Exchanging funny banter that's actually funny. Aside from Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's opening monologue, their ode to quotable lines found in classic movies like "The Terminator" and "The Godfather," and then completely rewriting them, was one of the best bits of the evening.

WORSTRicky Gervais Reminds Everyone Why He Doesn't Host AnymoreFormer host came out holding a wine glass and threatening to insult various people in the audience as a callback to his own hosting stint, which was criticized for being too mean-spirited.

The president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association gave a rousing speech and noted free speech won't be repressed in Paris or North Korea. His moving speech was met with a thunderous applause and cheers from Hollywood. And to that, it's worth raising a glass again. 

WORSTMatthew McConaughey's Facial HairThis is not what the beard gang is about, Matthew McConaughey. The actor did a disservice to the beard movement with his scraggly facial hair -- for his role in Civil War-set "The Free State of Jones" -- paired with a sleek tuxedo. McConaughey usually impresses with ease, but not tonight. Sorry, McConaughey, role or no, there won't be an "alright, alright, alright" for this look. 

BESTPrince Drops by for Surprise PresentationFamously shy musician stunned the crowd when he appeared to present the award for Best Original Song.

WORSTNot enough Amy Poehler and Tina FeyIt was their last hurrah hosting the Golden Globes, and we deserved more jokes, and less Margaret Cho. Here's to hoping they graduate to hosting the Oscars next year.
