Ah yes, award season: the time of the year when social media users come together and become one big ass witty, shady, dysfunctional family. Complete with all the commentary and that one person that says what everyone is thinking. Sunday night's 74th Annual Golden Globe Awards were of no exception as they kick off awards season. One thing that did stand out was the increased amount of representation (we're still not quite there yet though...in 2017...*sigh*). From Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monae in Hidden Figures, to Issa Rae and Tracee Ellis Ross getting nominated for Best Performance By An Actress in A Musical or Comedy TV Series (Tracee won, the first black woman to do so in 34 years -- the last one being Debbie Allen). Even to Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino) taking two wins for his series, Atlanta (to which he shouted out Migos for the culture, then Questlove playing Black Beatles later on during the ceremony). Also the turned up volume of the wrap-up song just so people would get the point was a nice touch. This year's Golden Globes was definitely one to remember to say the least.

Outside of the incorrect pronunciation of the movie Hidden Figures *squints evilly at Jenna Bush and Michael Keaton*, and Sofia Vergara misreading the teleprompter (it's okay, shit happens and English isn't your first language); this was a pretty interesting awards ceremony to say the list. Bonus to Goldie Hawn completely messing up the prompt and Amy Schumer attempting to save face (failing, at that).

When Tracee Ellis Ross took the award for Best Performance By An Actress in A Musical or Comedy TV Series, her speech was nothing short of inspiring. "This is for all the women of color, and colorful people, whose stories, ideas & thoughts are not always considered worthy and valid and important. But I want you to know that I see you. We see you." History was made tonight, and I wouldn't want it any other way. Congratulations to Tracee Ellis Ross on her win, and continue to shine on.

As the show continued, we noticed that not once, but twice were the two movies Hidden Figures and Fences meshed into a mysterious late entry called "Hidden Fences" *cue side eye*. Both are amazing movies in their own right, and have no similarity to one another. On the flipside, it led to the hilarious hashtag, #GoldenGlobeAMovie, which took the Twittersphere by storm. There was also the birth of the #SoulGlobes tag, which was also a great idea.

Then of course we have the amazingly talented Viola Davis, receiving her star of the Hollywood Walk of Fame; then winning the award for Best Supporting Actress in Any Movie for her performance in Fences alongside Denzel Washington. To say that Davis' 2017 is off to an amazing start is a HUGE understatement.

From there we saw the legendary Meryl Streep accept the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award; and while being both gracious and humble of her four decade career, she called people out like no one's business. Which of course is completely understandable given the current political direction of the United States.

We of course couldn't forget the loving tribute to both Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, who were both laid to rest this past week. From what could be seen from home movies and appearances, the mother and daughter actresses were inseparable, and now can remain together, forever.

Finally, Moonlight, the wonderful movie that touches on black masculinity, went from underdog to on top winning the last Golden Globe of the night -- Best Movie, Drama. If you haven't seen the film yet, I definitely recommend it. It is also the very first film by a black writer/director (directed by Mahershala Ali) to win this award.

All in all, the Golden Globes was quite an interesting ceremony this year to say the least. The year is off to a great start, and I congratulate all the winners and nominees for getting this far, for this is only the beginning of what 2017 has to offer.
