Aaaaand here’s the full news wrap:

Here’s another one of the night’s most emotive speeches in case you haven’t yet seen:

It’s not just Gervais who critics are faulting but the event itself. Here’s Vanity Fair’s Richard Lawson:

“What are the Golden Globes for in 2020? Mostly just a few hours of celebrity gazing, at this point. A stretch of time that, yes, can occasionally swell to something grander, something dimly approaching important, but is otherwise only a starry and distant evening to enjoy—or not—in January, just as the page has turned on another year. Maybe that’s all the show can be right now, for better and worse. Or that’s just complacency talking and the real solution—to the Golden Globes, not the world’s troubles—is to do some kind of radical shakeup next year. To introduce some actually edgy host, to honor a bold and forward-thinking array of nominees, to conjure up a sense that all the glitz has a real cultural sum to it. I’ll toast to that possibility, even if it means I’m lame for caring.”

Here’s a look back at some of the most notable outfits on the red carpet:

Here’s that Michelle Williams speech that you’ll all be reading about tomorrow:

While Netflix went into the night with the most nominations, on the small screen side it was HBO who came out on top with four wins and, importantly for the network long-term, none of them were for Game of Thrones.

For the New York Times, James Poniewozik had the following to say about Gervais:

“Gervais himself doesn’t care about the Globes so much that he was hosting them for the fifth time. He and everyone knew why he was there: to administer Hollywood a mostly consensual lashing, to be the Nihilist-in-Chief, the guy who doesn’t care what anyone thinks. He had a joke about Felicity Huffman’s jail sentence in a college-admissions scandal, and a heavily censored one imagining Judi Dench, of “Cats,” grooming herself in, er, a feline manner.

It was sometimes uncomfortable, but not especially daring.”

Incredibly important information:

A cursory look of Film Twitter and some early reviews might suggest that Ricky Gervais was a flop host tonight but not if you look much further to the right.

Controversial former NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch tweeted that he was “the ballsiest host ever”. Breitbart reporter Alana Mastrangelo tweeted that he’s “the only one who deserves an award tonight”. Ben Shapiro called it “the BEST THING EVER”. Candace Owens praised him as “a celebrity with the balls to clue Hollywood in on the painstakingly obvious truth that we DO NOT CARE WHAT THEY THINK”.

So congrats to Ricky.

Yeah about those Joaquin F-bombs that were removed from the almost live broadcast earlier. Here they are!

“To my fellow nominees, we all know there’s no fucking competition between us”

“There is no fucking best actor”

“Contrary to popular belief, I don’t want to rock the boat. But the boat is fucking rocked”

And here’s how it all began with what’s allegedly, hopefully the last ever Ricky Gervais Globes opening monologue:

This is an important and deeply embarrassing question:

It’s been a night as long as an Irishman so in case you need to go back and check who won what then here’s a handy list:

Another first of the night: Awkwafina has become the first Asian-American woman to win the Golden Globe for best actress in a comedy film

Sad but true but also amazing

Joaquin’s speech is causing some confused reactions:

Footage on the way but for now, here’s how that powerful Michelle Williams speech has been going down:

Quick, impressive fact here. Hildur Guðnadóttir is the first woman to ever win the Golden Globe for best score on her own. In 2000, Lisa Gerrard won for Gladiator alongside Hans Zimmer.

Brad Pitt’s done a joke:

Aaaand here’s a lovely interview with Globe-winning composer Hildur Guðnadóttir from last month:

And much to the displeasure of Amazon, backstage, Phoebe Waller-Bridge has stayed firm on there being no more Fleabag in the foreseeable future

“I haven’t changed my mind about season three. It feels more and more about being the right decision. (These awards shows) are just beautiful goodbyes. But there’s been so many goodbyes every time.”

In case you want to read more about the arduous process behind best director-winning 1917, then here ya go:

Jason Momoa is wearing a vest at the Golden Globes and is drunk already?

Setting the bar:

Charlize Theron has arrived on stage to reminisce about her childhood and her three most prized possessions back then: “my ballet shoes, my pet goat and my VHS copy of Splash”. She’s here to present the Cecil B DeMille award for lifetime achievement in film to Tom Hanks, who has “made easy work of breaking our hearts and stealing our tears” (which sounds a tad sinister).

Then follows one of the most impressive montages I’ve seen for a long while, reminding us just how many memorable roles Hanks has taken on throughout his career (as well as Larry Crowne). Hanks, who has a cold and has been drinking a lot of “savagely orange drinks” so is jittery, chokes up when talking about his family sitting before him.

It’s a generous speech, paying tribute to the many big names he’s worked with both in front of and behind the camera, offering advice to young actors who should be making copious notes on a napkin.

Yup:

One of the funniest moments of the night, courtesy of Sacha Baron Cohen:

And here’s a longer look at who Gervais went after in his opening monologue:

When you’ve misplaced Annette Bening:

And here’s that nice Kate McKinnon bit in case ya wanna:

The pull of this year’s ceremony is such that even Taylor Swift and Beyonce, stars who keep their public appearances to a carefully managed minimum, are in attendance. See:

The first special award of the night is going to Ellen Degeneres, winning the Carol Burnett prize for lifetime achievement in television. Kate McKinnon is awarding it and she’s doing a rather fine job, talking about her own sexuality and the importance of seeing Ellen come out when she was at a young age. It’s an emotional, funny and crowd-pleasing speech about LGBT representation and brings what might be some of most enthusiastic cheers of the night.

Degeneres, who has come under fire for befriending George Bush and taking the side of Kevin Hart when he was accused of homophobia, comes on stage to pay tribute back to McKinnon before making a crack about awards ceremonies and how lucky she is to have gone into it knowing she was a winner, unlike most of the attendees. It’s a speech but also a standup routine as she jokes about the intolerable length of awards show speeches while indulging in a long speech herself.

Here’s a scrap of the opening monologue but the whole thing will be up soon:

I really want to see what happens when these two bump into each other at the afterparty.

Oh yeah, and here’s how much Jonathan Pryce enjoyed that Two Popes joke:

Just in case you needed a brief recap, here’s who and what Gervais ridiculed in his opening speech: Apple, Jeffrey Epstein, Joe Pesci, Leonardo DiCaprio, Disney, Amazon, Martin Scorsese, the HFPA, diversity and The Two Popes

Tom Hanks reacting to Ricky Gervais is all of us reacting to Ricky Gervais?

Awkwafina, who is nominated for Best actress in a film – musical or comedy for her role in The Farewell, is continuing what’s been a trend for black and white this year in ruffles and a blazer, which, we’re hearing rumblings, are the work of Chanel. She is joined by the likes of Greta Gerwig and Zoe Kravitz who, wearing a black-and-white polka dot number, is channelling dalmation-chic at its finest.

The Little Women look – long, ruffled, prairie dresses and waistcoats – is huge right now, so of course Little Women star Saoirse Ronan has gone for the very opposite: a shimmering and strappy floor-length gown. Jo March it ain’t but a thigh-high dress slit is certainly red-carpet worthy.

In his four outings as Golden Globes host, Ricky Gervais has roasted everyone from Mel Gibson to Caitlyn Jenner but it was a joke about Tim Allen that’s stuck with him the most. In a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, the comic admitted that he regrets a jab aimed at the Toy Story star:

“I think he took it wrong. The joke was him and Tom Hanks. So I came out and said, ‘ Our next two presenters, the first has won five Oscars, combined box office of five billion dollars. And the other, Tim Allen.’ Right? It’s a fine joke. I’m teasing Tim Allen. But anyone standing next to Tom Hanks, unless it’s Dustin Hoffman or Robert Redford or Robert De Niro, that could be me. But it happened to be Tim Allen. And I have nothing against Tim Allen. He’s a good actor. He’s probably a nice bloke. So even though there’s no malice and I can justify it comedically and everyone laughed, I didn’t want Tim Allen to think, ‘Oh, that was written for me. Why me?’ Well, because you were standing next to Tom Hanks.”

The aforementioned looseness that can often make the Globes a more enjoyable watch is best exemplified by the choice of presenters throughout the night and the more freewheeling skits they’re allowed to indulge in.

This year the long list of big names appearing onstage includes Brad Pitt, Charlize Theron, Reese Witherspoon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Elton John, Rachel Weisz, Cate Blanchett and Helen Mirren. While those most likely to create a viral moment include Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler, Tiffany Haddish and Kate McKinnon.

Last year’s funniest bit was watching Maya Rudolph propose to Amy Poehler and this year’s cruelest bit is not having them host the entire damn thing:

In case you need a reminder of what to expect from Ricky Gervais tonight, here’s a montage of his best, or to some “best”, bits from previous ceremonies:

A black dress at the Golden Globes red carpet is a Jennifer Aniston trademark move – and we can see why. The actor was spotted “stargazing” at Kerry Washington – also in black – on the red carpet where the pair sent the internet into overdrive with a hug earlier this evening. She’s nominated for best actress in a TV series for her role in The Morning Show – alongside her co-star Reese Witherspoon.

Jennifer Lopez won fashion this year when she made a surprise appearance on the Versace SS20 catwalk wearing a palm print frock she’d last worn 20 years ago, sending the internet into a tailspin then as now. For the Golden Globes, at which she is nominated for best supporting actress for her role in Hustlers, she’s come as the gift that keeps on giving in a dress embellished with a giant gold and green bow. It is reported a Valentino couture creation. The up-do, as one eagle-eyed person tweeted, is reminiscent of her Maid in Manhattan days.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge has arrived suited and stilettoed. The star, who is nominated for Best actress in a TV series – musical or comedy, is no stranger to red carpet tailoring. This intricately embellished suit with silky lapels looks the ideal outfit for an after-show martini, which, if the Emmys is anything to go by, is Waller-Bridge’s wont.

It’s another year without a clear big screen frontrunner with arguments easily made for Marriage Story, Parasite, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood and The Irishman. With Netflix behind two of those, and with 17 nominations across the board, the only sure thing is that it’ll be a grand old night for streaming. But which films and actors, according to Peter Bradshaw, will come out on top?

Colman, nominated for Best actress in a TV series for her role as HRH The Queen in The Crown looks regal in red on the red carpet. The puffed sleeves have an air of majesty about them, as seen in Holbein portraits of Henry VIII, but they are also very spring/summer 2020 in their sheer volume. The look is rounded off with a square train. All hail!

High-neck, floor-length pastel pink? It isn’t a look that works for everyone, but it’s one Kirsten Dunst wears well. Nominated for her role in On Becoming a God in Central Florida the actor has opted to wear Rodarte to the Globes – and it’s certainly nice to have a break from all the red carpet monochrome.

In the words of Catatonia, this could be a case for Mulder and Scully: Gillian Anderson has arrived in a beautiful all-white frock with one shoulder shrouded in an elegant sleeve-cape and the other side … missing. The truth is out there but the Sex Education star looks regal, back jewellery and all.

Looking forward to seeing Ricky Gervais try to offend the Hollywood elite? Well, Stuart Heritage sure isn’t ...

The Pose star has done it again, serving white feather realness on tonight’s red carpet and stealing the show in this peacock-train jacket by Alex Vinash. Rumour has it the feathers zip off – although we’re not convinced they’ll fit in Porter’s (very on trend) itty bitty bag.

The star of Harriet and best actress in a film nominee, Cynthia Erivo, recently told Vogue that her Hollywood icon is Eartha Kitt. And this is a look we think Kitt would have approved of. By Thom Browne, the New York designer known for whacky silhouettes and shoes in the shape of dolphins, the black-and-white gown reportedly took 800hrs to make. It has peonies, the actor’s favourite flower, sewn on the hem. As her stylist Jason Bolden said on Instagram earlier this evening: “The New Hollywood!! Brave, Black & Beautiful.” Oh, and the Bulgari necklace cost more than a mansion in Malibu.

This week it was announced that the Globes would be entirely meat-free with a late-in-the-day decision to go for a fully vegan menu for the very first time. It’s all about sending “a good message” and it’s a move that’s already been praised by stars including Mark Ruffalo and Leonardo DiCaprio.

In case you’re interested/hungry, attendees will be scarfing down an appetizer of chilled golden beet soup with locally grown chervil and amaranth followed by a king oyster mushrooms entree, cooked and presented to call to mind scallops, with wild mushroom risotto, roasted baby purple and green Brussels sprouts, globe carrots and pea tendrils.

Rita Wilson is not having a golden Golden Globes night. More on this as soon as we have it...

Hot priest klaxon! Andrew Scott, nominated for best supporting actor in a TV series for his role in Fleabag, has arrived wearing a white tuxedo jacket with golden bow tie. Disappointingly, he doesn’t appear to be carrying a gin in a tin, but Twitter is still going wild for this look.

The Brosnan clan have arrived on the red carpet, with dad Pierce joined by sons Dylan and Paris, as well as his wife Keely Shaye Smith. Pierce, who is presenting an award at this year’s ceremony, joined his sons in rolling out the red carpet alongside host Ricky Gervais on Friday, but has swapped the relaxed open neck shirt he wore to the preview event for an all-black tux this evening. Snazzy.

Hi from team Fashion. Kicking us off tonight in the sartorial stakes is Greta Gerwig. She might have been snubbed in the best director category, leaving it an all-male affair (again), but the Little Women director has arrived early to the red carpet. She is wearing what is reportedly a custom Proenza Schouler gown. The monochrome palette might say old Hollywood glamour but the sharp bob and steely choker add a 2020 twist.

It’s a tough year to predict who will triumph in the small screen categories with the HFPA opting for a mixture of hit shows that impressed critics (Fleabag, Succession) and shows that didn’t leave much of an impression at all (The Politician, The Loudest Voice). Their TV picks can often be full-on gonzo but Adrian Horton has bravely placed a number of bets on who and what she thinks will win tonight:
