‘La La Land,’ ‘Moonlight’ win big at Golden Globes

“La La Land” steamrolled through a Jimmy Fallon-hosted Golden Globes that mixed the expected, champagne-sipping Hollywood celebration with often-voiced concern over president-elect Donald Trump.
Meryl Streep, the Cecil B. DeMille Award honoree, supplied Sunday evening’s most striking rebuke to Trump. Streep, who spoke at the Democratic National Convention, called the president-elect’s mocking of a disabled reporter the year’s performance that most “stunned her.”
Arguing for the multinational makeup of Hollywood, Streep listed off the far-flung homes of stars from Dev Patel to Ryan Gosling.
“Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners and if you kick them all out, you’ll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts,” Streep said to loud applause.
“Moonlight” won the Golden Globe Award for best film drama.
Damien Chazelle’s Los Angeles musical “La La Land” came in with a leading seven nominations, and won everything it was nominated for, including best film, musical or comedy. Chazelle won both best director and best screenplay. Gosling won best actor in a comedy or musical, Emma Stone took home the trophy for best actress in a comedy or musical, and it took best score (Justin Hurwitz) and best song for “City of Stars.”
