Lady Gaga also won her first Globe for her work on \"American Horror Story\" and had one of the most emotional speeches of the night.
\"I feel like Cher in ... 'Moonstruck' ... this is one of the greatest moments of my life,\" she said, while tearing up. \"I wanted to be an actress before I wanted to be a singer.\"
Another longtime actor that was actually a first-time winner tonight was Christian Slater for his role in \"Mr. Robot.\" It truly was a night where the stars, new and old, were recognized.
Brie Larson also won for her acclaimed performance in \"Room\" and wowed the audience with her speech.
4 - Denzel
Tom Hanks said it best when he said you only need one name to describe legendary actor Denzel Washington.
Denzel Washington took home the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement. His \"Philadelphia\" co-star and fellow Oscar-winner Hanks introduced him and said, \"Every generation, film-goers find the artist that defines the time they live in. The obvious power to not only hold our attention, but demand it ... you cannot copy them, you can only sort of emulate them.\"
Washington took the stage and said, \"I'm speechless,\" while thanking his mother and father, and his current family, who took the stage with him.
5 - The Speeches: Taraji and Leo
Taraji P. Henson won for her role of Cookie on \"Empire\" and actually handed out cookies on her way to the stage.
\"I just did not expect they (would) call my name,\" she said backstage after her big win. \"But when they called my name it was like visceral. I was like, 'Well the cookies are here! I guess I should hand them out.' It was just a spontaneous moment.\"
When she got on stage, she said, \"Cookies for everyone tonight, my treat ... Who knew playing an ex-convict would take me all around the globe?\"
A similar moment of exhilaration happened when DiCaprio won for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama for \"The Revenant.\" He also got a standing ovation and said \"This film was about survival ... more than anything it was about trust and no more deserving of that trust than our direction. I've never had an experience like this in my entire life.\"
