Sebastian Stan says industry needs new approach to stories about disability
Stan, accepting the award for best actor in a comedy film for "A Different Man," a dark comedy about a man whose neurofibromatosis causes facial disfigurement, called for a new chapter in Hollywood.
"Our ignorance and our discomfort around disability and disfigurement has to end now," he said, adding that the industry should "champion stories that are inclusive."
In the movie, Stan plays a lonely man who undergoes an experimental treatment that cures his condition and starts a new life as a wealthy real estate agent. But then he meets a charismatic, successful man who also has neurofibromatosis, throwing his sense of self into disarray.
Stan is also nominated tonight for his lead role in the drama film "The Apprentice," a portrait of the early years of President-elect Donald Trump.
Presenters are struggling to open the Globes envelopes
Several presenters have visibly and audibly struggled to open the winners' envelopes onstage tonight, causing minor delays but hilarious points of comedic relief and anticipation.
"Strong-a-- tape," Andrew Garfield said as he presented the award for best film actor.
Demi Moore gives powerful speech about knowing your worth
Moore gave an emotional speech for her win for "The Substance," reflecting on her 40-plus years in the industry.
"This is the first time I’ve ever won anything as an actor. I’m just so humbled and so grateful," she said. "Thirty years ago I had a producer tell me that I was a popcorn actress, and at that time, I made that mean that this wasn’t something I was allowed to have. That I could do movies that were successful but that I couldn’t be acknowledged. I bought in and I believed that. That corroded me over time to the point where I thought a few years ago that maybe this was it, maybe that this was complete, that I’ve done what I’m supposed to do."
Then, "The Substance" came along, which she called a "magical, bold, courageous, out of the box, absolutely bonkers script."
She encouraged people to know their worth.

Lots of short acceptance speeches and long intros so far
Did the Globes decide to ditch lengthy acceptance speeches for these oddly long award intros?
Halfway through the show and it certainly seems like that's the case.
Jodie Foster thanks Icelanders and Indigenous people

'The Penguin' is a fascinating snapshot in the career of Colin Farrell
In the early 2000s, Hollywood positioned Colin Farrell as a conventional movie star in thrillers like "Phone Booth," "The Recruit" and Marvel's "Daredevil." But in recent years, as Farrell entered his late 40s, he has gravitated to more eccentric projects, including Yorgos Lanthimos' "The Killing of a Sacred Deer" and Kogonada's "After Yang."
"The Penguin," a big-budget HBO miniseries that required Farrell to don elaborate prosthetics and makeup that rendered him all but unrecognizable, is the latest example of Farrell's mid-career swerve into the unexpected. It's a popular series based on a famous comic book character but very much not a part that traded on Farrell's leading man looks.
Hollywood buzzing over Zoe Saldaña's speech
Insiders at the Globes are saying Zoe Saldaña has had the best speech of the night so far. One attendee said her speech was so good that she has the “Oscars on lock.” Nominations for the Academy Awards will be announced this month.
It wasn’t just her speech that had people talking, but the admiration by her "Emilia Pérez" co-star Selena Gomez, who jumped up when Saldaña won. Gomez was also nominated in the same category.
