The Golden Globes is a yearly program run by The Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
The organization celebrates stars of television and screen with its picks of ‘best in show’ in an equal fashion. This year’s magnetic speech by Meryl Streep was served in prolific Awards’ style as the actress appealed to the press to hold public inappropriate behavior to higher standards. Streep’s acceptance of the Cecil B. DeMille award for outstanding dedication to the film industry was tempered by her call to the media to keep a watchful eye on the United States’ President-elect.

Trump’s position that Hollywood is maintained by misfits was pontificated upon by Streep, as she stated that the movie industry is made of outliers who characterize what makes the nation great. Gosling who is Canadian, and an actor warmly recognized in Hollywood, gratefully accepted his award.
