With jokes about everything from Timothée Chalamet’s mustache and his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown to Ariana Grande et Cynthia ErivoIn Wicked’s bizarre promotional interviews, the comedian set the tone for a fun opening to Hollywood’s awards season.

“Tonight we celebrate the best in cinema and hold space for television,” she told the audience in her opening monologue.

And noting that the room was filled with the rich, famous and powerful, Glaser joked, “You really can do anything.” Except telling the country who to vote for.

The “real goal of acting,” she later told the audience, is to become big enough to start a tequila brand, “that would make the stars rich enough that they would never have to need to act.”

Emilia Perez and The Brutalist were the big winners of the eveningwith Shogun, Baby Reindeer and Hacks triumphing in the TV categories.

Here’s what everyone’s talking about after the show.

Demi Moore isn’t just ‘popcorn’

Best known for some of her big hits of the 1990s, from Ghost to Indecent Proposal, Demi Moore has been working in film for 45 years.

Following her critically acclaimed performance in body horror film The Substance, released last year, she has now won what she says is her first ever award – and is set to be nominated for an Oscar.

“Thirty years ago a producer told me I was a ‘popcorn’ actress and at that time I made it clear that that was not something I was allowed to do. “Having, that I could make films that were successful, it made a lot of money, but it couldn’t be recognized,” Moore, 62, said on stage.

“I bought into it, and I believed in it, and it ate away at me over time, to the point where I thought a few years ago maybe this is it, maybe I was complete. I did what I was supposed to do.

“And when I was at my lowest, I had this magical, daring, courageous, outside the box, absolutely crazy script that came across my desk called The Substance, and the universe told me that you weren’t done.”

Moore thanked French director Coralie Fargeat and her team and said the film was a reminder “of where I belong.”

Kieran Culkin enjoys a ‘date night’ (and a win)

Succession star Kieran Culkin won a supporting actor award for his performance in A Real Pain, in which he and director Jesse Eisenberg play mismatched cousins ​​who tour Poland in honor of their grandmother.

“My wife and I had a shot of tequila,” Culkin said as he took the stage.

The star, who beat Denzel Washington for Gladiator II and Guy Pearce for The Brutalist to win the award, said the event was “the best date night my wife and I have ever had”.

Culkin has been married to Jazz Charton for over 10 years and the couple has two children.

“Thank you for putting up with what you call my mania… It’s not good, it’s a lot of work,” he joked.

“I did everything myself”

You can always count on Colin Farrell for a refreshing take on the acceptance speech.

“No one to thank for this one, I did it all by myself,” he joked while accepting the award for his portrayal of the Batman villain in The Penguin. “Just a raw, stripped down performance.”

But in reality, he says, its success is due to “the talent of so many people over the years.” He spoke of the three hours he spent each day having “extraordinary” prosthetics and makeup applied to make him the villain in his latest film.

“In the morning, I would drink black coffee, listen to 80s music and become a canvas for the genius of this team,” he said.

He finished by thanking craft services for “allowing the entire crew to continue operating.”

Sir Elton takes stock of his eyesight

Among the many A-list award presenters was Sir Elton John, who presented an award alongside country and folk singer Brandi Carlile.

The British music legend’s appearance follows recent headlines that he was suffering from visual impairment due to an eye infection.

“This is a very special evening for me to be here because I don’t know if you know this, but there have been a lot of stories going around about my regressive eyesight, and I just wanted to reassure everyone everyone that it’s not that serious. it seems,” the star said.

“So I’m excited to be here with my co-host…Rihanna.”

Timothy and Kylie were back

Social media gained momentum after last year’s ceremony, when Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner made their first public appearance.

Jenner was there again this year, showing his support (Chalamet was nominated for Best Actor in a Drama for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown), and it wasn’t long before the Golden Globes cameras were once again capturing on their PDAs.

How did the British stars behave?
