7:30 p.m. "Queen's Gambit" takes home Best Performance by an Actress in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television for Anya Taylor-Joy and Best Television Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television! Watch both speeches below!

7:00 p.m. Jane Fonda accepts the Cecil B. Demille award with a moving speech. Addressing the need for equality, she said, "Stories can change our hearts and our minds, they can help us see each other in a new light, to have empathy, to recognize that, for all our diversity, we are humans first. The non-linear, non-cerebral forms that are art speak on a different frequency and generate a new energy that jolt us open and penetrate our defenses so we can see and hear what we may have been afraid of seeing and hearing."
6:55 p.m. Best Television Series, Drama goes to "The Crown"! Peter Morgan gave a speech, saying, “I’m just sorry I’m sitting in my tragic little office not surrounded by the people who make the show such a pleasure. Quite frankly, I miss not being with all my fellow nominees, in that wonderful room, in that crazy room at the Beverly Hilton. I’m glad I’m not having to face that room making a speech but it’s always the most fun awards show.”
6:50 p.m. Best Motion Picture, Foreign Language goes to "Minari"! Director Lee Isaac Chung accepted the award with his adorable daughter on his lap, saying, "She's the reason I made this film."
6:42 p.m. Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series, Drama goes to "The Crown's" Josh O'Connor for playing Prince Charles. In a sweet moment he called co-star Emma Corrin "extraordinary, talented, funny and a brilliant player of rock paper scissors," he added, "I love you to bits."
6:37 p.m. “I Care A Lot” star Rosamund Pike nabbed Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy. She saluted the other women in her category before noting that while the underwater swimming she did for her film was hard, it didn’t compare to Maria Bakalova being alone in a room with Rudy Giuliani for “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm.” She applauded Maria’s “brilliance and bravery.”

I want to give a shoutout to the people I’m acting with on the show... they make me better than I am… better than i thought I could be." Toward the end, fellow nominee Don Cheadle hilariously gave Jason the wrap up symbol.

6 p.m. Norman Lear gives a very touching speech as he accepts the Carol Burnett Award. At one point he lovingly says, "I am convinced laughter adds to ones life, and there is know one I owe more time to than Carol Burnett." He later adds, “At close to 99, I can tell you that I have never lived alone. I have never laughed alone and that has as much to do with my being here today as anything else I know.”
5:43 p.m. Amy promises the most awkward speech of the night as she introduces the award for "Least Original Song," which goes to Kenan Thompson and Maya Rudolph playing musicians. They are actually in the audience, and Kenan gives Amy a kiss, while Maya feels her chest telling the crowd she had a "vodka epidural" before she got there. The speech is the mess Amy promised, as they give their very straight-forward takes on "The Crown" and "The Trial of the Chicago 7" and more.
5:40 p.m. Aaron Sorkin just nabbed the Best Screenplay award for "The Trial of the Chicago 7." He joked with his fellow nominees Emerald Fennell and Chloé Zhao that they are the “reason my college-aged daughter wants to be a filmmaker, and I'm never gonna forgive you for that.”
5:36 p.m. "I Know This Much Is True" star Mark Ruffalo just took home the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television. His wife and kids were with him to celebrate.

5:30 p.m. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association leaders address the lack of diversity, and chair Meher Tatna, says, “We must also ensure everyone, from all under-represented communities, gets a seat at our table. And we are going to make that happen.”

5:20 p.m. Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series — Musical or Comedy goes to... Catherine O'Hara for "Schitt's Creek"! She said, "I am happily and seriously indebted to Eugene and Daniel Levy. They created an inspiring, funny, beautiful family love story in which they let me wear 100 wigs and speak like an alien."
5:16 p.m. Next up is John Boyega! The "Small Axe" star won for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Supporting Role. The actor was excited and surprised by the win.
5:13 p.m. "Judas and the Black Messiah" star Daniel Kaluuya is the first winner, for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture — Drama. The star raised a glass of champagne from home, saying, "It takes a village to make a film."
5:03 p.m. The co-hosts take the stage with a split screen for a rather seamless opening, despite being in separate locations. Tina points out the rooms are filled with "smoking-hot first responders and essential workers," which means "the celebrities can stay safe at home."
They also addressed the lack of diversity in the HFPA. Fey told the audience, "The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is made up of around 90 international no-Black journalists who attend movie junkets each year in search of a better life. We say around 90 because a couple of them might be ghosts, and it's rumored that the German member is just a sausage that somebody drew a little face on."
5 p.m. It's the first-ever bicoastal Golden Globes! Tina Fey is at the Rainbow Room in NYC and Amy Poehler is at the Beverly Hilton in L.A.
