A live proposal, Christian Bale thanking Satan, an apology for cultural appropriation by Emma Stone and a classic homage to Judy Garland are just a handful of the most memorable parts of the 2019 Golden Globes.
Before recapping the winners, there were many moments that should definitely be highlighted.
Hosts Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg were an interesting duo, but they proved to be very reflective of the diversity of the people and films that were nominated or received awards this year. Films such as “Crazy Rich Asians” and “Black Panther” are just a few examples of this. Oh was the first ever Asian American host of the Golden Globes as well.
Speaking of Asian American representation, Samberg made a comment about “Crazy Rich Asians” being the first studio film with an Asian American lead since “Ghost in the Shell” and “Aloha” both featured white actresses playing Asian American roles. Emma Stone yelled “I’m sorry!” from the crowd following his comment, and has been criticized on social media for it since.
Another more controversial comment made by Samberg was in response to the new film, “A Star Is Born.” When introducing Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, Samberg said, “He discovered Ally and she discovered him in the garage.” This comment made fun of Cooper’s character hanging himself in the garage in the film. Samberg’s comment caused a lot of backlash, primarily on Twitter.
Deemed one of the best outfits of the night, Lady Gaga wore a periwinkle ball gown with matching light blue hair as a homage to Judy Garland, the lead of the 1954 version of “A Star Is Born.” The dress is similar to the one Garland wore during part of the film.
On a more questionable note, Christian Bale, who played Dick Cheney in the film “Vice,” received his award and then proceeded to say, “Thank you to Satan for giving me inspiration on how to play this role.”
Finally, Amy Poehler and her girlfriend, Maya Rudolph, got engaged while presenting an award. Rudolph started with, “I’m so sorry, guys, but I have to do this,” and then pulled out the ring and proposed.
