The 81st Golden Globe Awards, which took place on Sunday (January 7) at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, USA, was marked by a handful of memorable moments.

Two new categories were introduced at the ceremony: "Cinematic and Box Office Achievement" and "Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television," the Barbenheimer phenomenon was brought up, and, of course, celebrities brought their A-game on in lavish outfits for the red carpet.

The grandiose event also included some occasional blunders, with stand-up comedian Jo Koy sparking outrage after being labeled “the worst host ever” at the 2024 Golden Globes.

Cillian Murphy was awarded Best Actor for Best Performance in a Motion Picture in a Drama for his portrayal of J. Robert Oppenheimer in Oppenheimer. Meanwhile, Lily Gladstone won best actress for the female version of the category for her role as Mollie Burkhart in Killers of the Flower Moon.

Cillian and Lily were undoubtedly one of the 83 Golden Globes attendees to go home with a $500,000 gift bag, distributed to winners and presenters, featuring extravagant items like yacht charters, private jet credits, and other exclusive experiences.

Bored Panda takes a look at more memorable moments, this time happening backstage and at afterparties.

This is in Westwood, where they hold a bunch of movie premieres. I used to go to UCLA and Westwood was the restaurant, shops, and movie theaters area right next to campus. This In-N-Out opened after I already left UCLA and I'm still mad about it. lmao It's only a couple mile from where they had the Golden Globes.

Honestly, after a do like that, you probably just want a meal as quickly and easily as possible, and the fewer people who stop you for a red carpet picture, the better!

    Mark Hamill's Picture With His Star Wars "Mother," Natalie Portman

    The 72-year-old actor wrote in the post: “Now I have finally met my "mother," thanks to the Golden Globes,” referring to the fact that while he played Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise, starting with 1977's A New Hope, Natalie starred as Padmé Amidala in the prequel trilogy, introduced in 1999's The Phantom Menace. 

    In the movie, Padmé is revealed as the mother to Luke, as well as Leia, who was famously played by the late Carrie Fisher.

    Natalie was nominated for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy Motion Picture for her role in May December.

    Please note Mark's fingers on Natalie's back. Open palm, barely (if even) touching her. This is an appropriate way to pose for a photo. Keanu style!

    Ok, I know Mark Hamill is short, and Natalie Portman is wearing heals, but she's also known for being very short! I didn't realise that Hamill is THAT short.

    Everyone Fangirling Over Jack Black

    Taking to her Instagram and TikTok accounts, reporter Kirbie Johnson shared a funny observation she made throughout the event: celebrities “fangirling” over Jack Black.

    In a clip that she updated on her social media, Kirbie filmed actress Elle Fanning loudly giggling as she met Jack Black.

    She further captured a conversation between Kieran Culkin and Jack, in which she noted that Kieran wasn’t fangirling but “just vibing.”

    A shot of Jury Duty star Ronald Gladden excitingly greeting Jack was also captured.

    Kirbie wrote in the caption: “I couldn’t help but notice everyone (read: celebrities and fans alike) were losing their ever-loving minds over Jack Black after the Golden Globes. 

    “He had people in the stands on the red carpet melting down. Elle Fanning’s boyfriend told him he was her ‘hall pass’!”

    Who wouldn't. I'm very much in the "don't meet your heroes" camp, but Jack Black is a huge exception to that. The perfect example of "celebrity you'd love to have a drink with".

    Unpopular opinion, I'm sure but I had to give up early on Succession, just couldn't stand any character. They were all greedy, grasping, a$$holes. I know that's what real life is often like but I don't need to watch it. Kieran Culkin's character "pleasuring" himself against the window of an office block was about as far as I wanted to go, thanks.

    After the first few, you would find that each character was very well developed, certainly and agreeable horrible humans, but there was something good in each as well. The writers were outstanding in character development. It was an extremely well written show.

    Greta is best known for supporting roles up until a breakout role in the film "Past Lives" which came out this year. Andrew has done quite a bit, I know him best for playing the villian, James Moriarty in BBC Sherlock but he's also in His Dark Materials, Amazon's Modern Love as well as several films and stage work, as well.
