\"The Crown,\" \"The Night Manager\" and \"Atlanta\" also had big nights, earning Globes for the likes of Hugh Laurie, Donald Glover and Claire Foy for their roles in successful TV shows.

The Politics

In addition to Fallon's opening monologue, Hugh Laurie, Meryl Streep and others brought up the importance of diversity and inclusion in America.

They didn't name check anyone, but Laurie joked with similar sentiments that Streep used later in her speech.

He called this year's award show the \"last ever Golden Globes ... I don't mean to be gloomy, but it has the words Hollywood, Foreign and Press in the title.\"

Meryl Streep

The Cecil B. DeMille Award winner picked right up where Laurie left off and spoke at length about diversity and the need for empathy now more than ever in America.

\"What is Hollywood anyway, just a bunch of people from different places,\" she said.

In her 6-minute speech, she alluded to the current political climate and added that \"If you kick [foreigners] all out, you'll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts.\"
