Golden Globes: Demi Moore’s first win, Denzel Washington makes history

January 7 ------ The Golden Globe Awards delivered yet another unforgettable night of historic wins, red carpet moments, and noteworthy acceptance speeches. From Demi Moore finally taking home her first Golden Globe after decades in Hollywood to Zendaya sparking engagement rumors, the evening was packed with headline grabbers. Scroll down to get the skinny on some of the most memorable moments of the 82nd Golden Globes—from heartfelt speeches to red carpet surprises.

From popcorn actress to Golden Globe awardee

One of the night’s biggest surprises was Demi Moore’s win for best actress in a comedy or musical. Her comeback performance in “The Substance,” about a Hollywood star who resorts to an experimental process to regain her youth, landed the 62-year-old Moore her first Globe a victory that came over the heavily favored Mikey Madison of “Anora.” “I’m just in shock right now. I’ve been doing this a long time, like over 45 years, and this is the first time I’ve ever won as an actor,” said Moore, who was last nominated by the Globes in 1991 for “Ghost.”

“I’m just so humbled and so grateful. Thirty years ago, I had a producer tell me that I was a ‘popcorn actress’ and, at that time, I made that mean that this [award] wasn’t something that I was allowed to have. That I could do movies that were successful, that made a lot of money, but that I couldn’t be acknowledged, and I bought in and I believed that. And that corroded me over time, to the point where I thought, a few years ago, that maybe this was it. Maybe I was complete. Maybe I would—I’d done what I was supposed to do. And as I was at kind of a low point, I had this magical, bold, courageous, out-of-the-box, absolutely bonkers script come across my desk called ‘The Substance.’ And the universe told me that you’re not done,” she said in her speech.
