The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Dick Clark Productions and NBC have announced that the 75th Annual Golden Globe Awards will take place on Sunday, Jan. 7, 2018.
The ceremony will air on NBC live coast-to-coast. The awards are viewed in more than 236 countries worldwide and are one of the few to include both best motion picture and television achievements.
This year’s big Golden Globe winners included “Moonlight” for Best Drama Motion Picture, Damien Chazelle for Best Director, Viola Davis for Best Supporting Actress and “La La Land” for Best Musical or Comedy Motion Picture.
The 2017 Golden Globes took place on Jan. 8 at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. During the ceremony, Meryl Streep stole the show when she took President Donald Trump to task.
“It was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter, someone he outranked in privilege, power, and the capacity to fight back,” Streep said, referring to an incident with Trump on the campaign trail. “It kind of broke my heart when I saw it. I still can’t get it out of my head because it wasn’t in a movie. It was real life.”
Trump responded that he was “not surprised” that “liberal movie people” would complain about him and referred to Streep in particular as a “Hillary lover.”
NBC’s 2017 Golden Globes hauled in 20 million total viewers, according to Nielsen. That’s 1.5 million more than 2016, or up 8 percent year over year.
Golden Globes: 11 Best and Worst Moments, From Meryl Streep to 'Hidden Fences' (Photos)
Best: Jimmy Fallon's Broken Teleprompter
Host Jimmy Fallon was forced to think on his feet at the top of the show when the Teleprompter broke right as he began his opening monologue. That's the risk you run with a live event.
Sofia Vergara continued to play up her broken English for laughs. This time, she mispronounced "annual" as "anal" several times in introducing Sylvester Stallone's daughters as Miss Golden Globes.

Best: Steve Carell and Kristen Wiig Share Traumatic Movie Experiences
Before announcing the winner of Best Animated Film, Steve Carell and Kristen Wiig shared their first experience attending animated movies. Both kept the audience rolling with painfully emotional stories from their childhoods.
NBC
Worst: "Chastain and the Redmayne"
Sorry, Jimmy Fallon, but leave the rapping to the pros. Fallon introduced Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne, playing off their names in a quick spoof of the Cypress Hill classic "Insane in the Membrane."
It almost slipped by, but eagle-eyed viewers caught the two actors locking lips after Ryan Gosling won for "La La Land." Whether or not tongue was involved is anybody's guess.
NBC
Worst: Casey Affleck's Acceptance Speech
Casey Affleck may have won for "Manchester by the Sea," but his speech was not awards-worthy. The younger Affleck looked in need of a nap (and a shave) as he delivered his speech on stage.

Best: Meryl Streep
Meryl Streep is the best by default, but she reminded us why when she accepted her Cecil B. Demille Award. In a passionate speech, Streep called out Donald Trump for his bullying tactics (without mentioning his name), as well as calling on Hollywood to support a free and independent press.
NBC
Best: Matt Damon Mocks "The Martian"
Matt Damon has always been able to laugh at himself. Before presenting an award, Damon laughingly reminisced about how he won in the comedy category last year for his role in "The Martian," a fact he said was funnier than anything that happened in "The Martian."
