Last night saw the premiere of 2020’s Golden Globe awards, where the British reigned supreme yet again.
Our favorite actors from across the pond swept up some major wins but the rest of the world managed to pull it back.
While the majority of guests and nominees seemed happy for the deserving winners, Queen B, Beyonce, has been slammed for being rude during Joaquin Phoenix’s win.

The star-studded night saw the world’s best actors come together to celebrate yet another successful year in the entertainment industry.
Our favorite actors and actresses across the pond stole the show, as they managed to sweep up a lot of the major awards including Best Actress (TV series), Best Director and Best Picture (drama).
The English film director received two awards for his World War I drama 1917 including the coveted Best Director and Best Picture (drama). 2020 seems to be looking good for Mendes as he recently got knighted.
“I really hoped this means people will turn up and see it on the big screen as intended,” he said as he took to the stage alongside the film crew.
Elton John’s followed 1917.
The biographical film also picked up 2 awards including Best Original Song.
Pheobe Waller-Bridge’s won her fair share of awards last night. Fleabag was awarded 2 awards including Best TV series (comedy/musical) and Best Actress (comedy/musical). And well deserved, I must say.
The Crown actress, Olivia Coleman, won the award for Best Actress (drama), and let me tell you, she had some pretty tough competition. Coleman stood alongside the likes of Jodie Comer, Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and Nicole Kidman.
However, the biggest winner of the night had to be Once Upon A Time in Hollywood.
Even though the Brits seemed to dominate the show, we did see the Americans pull it back with 2019’s Hollywood blockbuster.
Once Upon A Time in Hollywood came out on top, winning 3 of the major awards of the night.
This included Brad Pitt’s win as Best Supporting Actor.
After 2 decades of a life without a Golden Globe, Pitt finally got a taste of what it feels like to be amongst the winners.
The actor was nominated for Best Actor (in a motion picture), but was beaten by none other than Taron Egerton for his role in Rocketman.
We mean, if there’s one person to beat DiCaprio, it would be young, fake Elton John, wouldn’t it?
During his acceptance speech, Pitt decided to play on the iconic Titanic scene that everyone always seems to talk about.
That’s right, the moment when Jack (played by Leo) sacrifices himself by letting Rose (Kate Winslet) lie on the floating door to keep out of the freezing water.
And it seems as though Brad also agrees with us!
He started off his speech like this, “I also have to thank my partner in crime, Leonardo DiCaprio. Before The Revenant, I used to watch year after year, his co-stars win awards and get up and thank him profusely and I now know why…”
“He’s an all-star, he’s a gent. I wouldn’t be here without you, man. I thank you. But still… I would’ve shared the raft.”
And that’s all it took. That one line made the entire audience, including DiCaprio, burst out into laughter.
Last night’s Golden Globes host Ricky Gervais took to the stage and gave us a night to remember with some brutally hilarious jokes about “fake celebrities.”
He won a Golden Globe for Best Actor in Motion Picture Drama for his performance in 2019’s Joker.
His acceptance speech was a little bizarre, we must say…
He touchingly thanked partner Rooney Mara and apologized to Joker director Todd Phillips for being “such a pain in the ass.”
He said to his fellow A-listers, “We don’t have to take private jets to Palm Springs … I’ll try to do better, and I hope you will too.”
But it seems that not everyone in the crowd felt he was worthy of standing up.
The singer is visibly seen sitting behind Phoenix as he stands up to accept his award, and she seems to be the only member of the audience who doesn’t bother standing up… or even to clap her hands, for that matter!
This hasn’t made the singer look good, at all.
Many have branded Beyonce as “rude” and “disrespectful” for refusing to stand for Phoenix’s deserved win.
But either way, Phoenix made a very gracious winner and he was overall heavily applauded for his hard work and talent.
