The Golden Globes always manage to be a (somewhat) controlled mess. The guests are (often) boozed up, the hosts says whatever they want, and there are unplanned occurrences. Every year the best moments of the night tend to come from the presenters, and this year was not a let-down.
Let's take a quick look at the some of the best presenters of the night:
Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer
You either love them, or can't stand them. There's no in-between as I found out while watching the show with my family. I personally love both of them and their friendship, which is being dubbed "the best" friendship of Hollywood. Jennifer Lawrence gets away with saying stuff that many people would never have the nerve to say. This year she said to David O. Russell in her acceptance speech that she wants them to be buried right next to each other when they die. As to Amy Schumer, she knows how to make fun of Hollywood with the best of them. I would put money on it that their movie will be fantastic.Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell
Their introduction for the award for Best Screenplay was golden (no pun intended). These two managed to be hysterical while also making fun of everyone in the room and their drinking. They did all this and managed to keep straight faces while wearing goofy 2016 glasses and insisting that they weren't joking. They were quite possibly my favorite presenters of the night.
Ken Jeong and Kevin Hart
Short jokes for days. And as a short person, I know a good "short joke" when I see one. Host Ricky Gervais said: "When Brad and Angelina see our next two adorable little presenters, they’re going to want to adopt them. Please welcome Kevin Hart and Ken Jeong." These two have a great rapport and Hart somehow manages to still surprise me with how funny he is.
America Ferrera and Eva Longoria
My final favorite presenters of the night, who, while delivering a deadpan and hysterical joke, also managed to call out racism. The joke refers to the fact that, for some reason, people, and even the Golden Globes official Twitter account, still don't have the respect to tell Latina actresses, as well as other minorities, apart.
See you next year, Golden Globes. May you continue to be a show filled with mistakes, off-color jokes, and strange results. Now we just need to start placing bets on who is going to host the show next year.
