La La Land Hit the Hight Note: The Biggest Wins of the Golden Globes This Year

The season for movie geeks has already started: there is less than 50 days till the 89th Academy Award gala! But before we’d get there, let’s see the first round of the race: Here are the winners of the 74th Golden Globes!

There is something sacred about the way the most celebrated people on the planet go on stage and become human. For a few brief minutes, all the actors, directors and recognized members of the movie industry stand moved, teary and ordinary as they stand in front of an applauding crowd. And even though they achieved a lot, the first thing that comes to mind to each and every one of them is to thank their loved ones for their unlimited support. The make up disappears, the lines wear off and the world pays attention to these well-known faces as mothers, fathers, wives, husbands and children are being thanked.

La La Land definitely ruled the Golden Globes and broke the record for most wins by a film, turning all its 7 nominations into shiny statuettes.

The biggest surprises of the night included Casey Affleck winning Best Actor (Drama) category – overthrowing Denzel Washington and Andrew Garfield – as well as Moonlight triumphing as the best drama of the year.

A truly touching speech was delivered by the ever so talented – also awarded – Viola Davis who had the honor to present Meryl Streep with the prestigious Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award.
