The fierce revenge tale "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" was named best picture at the 75th annual Golden Globe Awards which focused almost entirely on the growing topic of sexual harassment in show business.
Host Seth Meyers took the stage at the beginning of the night by greeting the crowd as “Ladies and remaining gentlemen.”
“It’s 2018, marijuana is finally allowed and sexual harassment finally isn’t. It’s going to be a good year,” he joked, highlighting the fall of several men in power and the “#MeToo” movement.
The Globes had long been the stomping grounds of disgraced mogul Harvey Weinstein, whose downfall precipitated allegations against James Toback, Kevin Spacey, and many others. Weinstein presided over two decades of Globes winners and was well-known for his manipulation of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the 89-member group that puts on the Globes.
Another big moment of the night came when “Lady Bird" won the best comedy or musical motion picture. Soon after, Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon announced Gary Oldman as the winner of the best actor in a drama series for his role as Winston Churchill in “The Darkest Hour.”
Frances McDormand won the best actress in a dramatic motion picture for her role in “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” where she highlighted the hardworking women in her category and Hollywood at large.
