The 77th Golden Globe Awards took place in Beverly Hills last night and as usual, there were plenty of talking points throughout the evening.

Hosted for the fifth time by comedy writer turned professional edgelord Ricky Gervais, the ceremony kicked off with The Office star taking potshots at pretty much everybody in the room, leading to a number of grimaced expressions throughout the seven-minute monologue. Once that was out of the way, the Golden Globes moved on to honouring the biggest Hollywood movies and stars of 2019, with Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Joaquin Phoenix, Brad Pitt and Renée Zellweger all among the winners. In case you missed it all (and why wouldn't you, it was on in the middle of the night), we've compiled some of the best bits below...

Ricky Gervais' opening monologue

The speech might have been edgier if it wasn't punctuated by Gervais telling us that he "doesn't care" every 30 seconds or so. Still, it should raise a few chuckles, if even for the facial reactions of some of those at the receiving end... https://twitter.com/DRMovieNews1/status/1214052087555907584

If the above clips aren't enough for you, you'll be able to catch the Golden Globes in full on RTÉ 2 tonight from 9pm.
