The triumph of "Emilia Pérez" in the non-English-language film category illustrates that this genre-smashing musical is a formidable awards contender heading into the Oscars. "Emilia" beat out "All We Imagine as Light" and "The Seed of the Sacred Fig," two of the most universally praised foreign-language films of the last year, underscoring the spell "Emilia" has evidently cast on industry insiders and voters.

In his acceptance speech, one of the film's producers paid tribute to the global transgender community. The film's title character is a trans woman.

Actor and comedian Ali Wong is now a two-time Golden Globe winner. In her short but sweet acceptance speech, she gave a shoutout to the San Francisco comedy scene.

The vibe at the Beverly Hilton this year? Insiders tell NBC News that Nikki Glaser is acing her debut as host of the Golden Globes. The comedian is the first woman to host the awards show solo.

In interviews ahead of the big night, Glaser said she didn't plan to go too hard on the celebrities in the audience because she wanted to be asked to host again. But she didn’t hold back too much, making jokes about Timothée Chalamet’s name and poking fun at Nicole Kidman, Harrison Ford and the cast of "Joker: Folie a Deux."

"Conclave" writer Peter Straughan just won his first Golden Globe for his adaptation of the eponymous novel by Robert Harris, who specializes in mystery and thriller yarns.

"I am just one pure ball of gratitude squeezed into a borrowed tux," Straughan said.
