Ryan Gosling gave a moving speech when he won Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for his performance in La La Land.
He opened with a joke, telling the audience, "This isn't the first time I've been mistake with Ryan Reynolds, but it's getting out of hand."
Then he got serious, thanking director Damien Chazelle and co-star Emma Stone, followed by his loving family, including longtime girlfriend and mother of his daughters, Eva Mendes, whose brother died of cancer in April 2016.
"You don't get to be up here without standing on the shoulders of a mountain of people ...," he said. "While I was singing and dancing and playing piano and having one of the best experiences I've ever had on film, my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second and trying to help her brother fight with his battle with cancer. If she hadn't taken all of that on so I could have this experience, there would surely be someone else up here other than me today, so sweetheart, thank you. To my daughters, Amada and Esmeralda, I love you. If I may, I'd like to dedicate this to the memory of her brother, Juan Carlos Mendes."
Still, it wasn't all tears and heaviness—during Gosling's speech, fellow nominees Andrew Garfield and the aforementioned Reynolds kissed.

I moved here 13 years ago this week and without my mom and my dad and my brother, who has put up with me his whole life. Thank you, Spence, you're the best...Thank you Damien [Chazelle] for this opportunity and your vision and your passion. Ryan, you're the best partner a girl could ask for. This is a film for dreamers, and I think that hope and creativity are two of the most important things in the world and that's what this movie is about."
In case that wasn't adorable enough for you, People reports that her ex Andrew Garfield, with whom she's still friendly, gave her a standing ovation. Aw!

"His face—it was such a joyous face, and he was so happy just to be there and have that job...and to lose your life at 23 years old, when you're just starting something like that, I thought, I could thank people all night long...but at the end of the day, the two entities that I had to thank are Luke Scott, this P.A. that made me so happy to be there, and Amazon, who was willing to do the show."
For Thornton, though, his viral moment came not from his speech, but from his approach to podium...when he had to pass his visibly uncomfortable ex, Laura Dern.

Cecil B. DeMille Award
Meryl Streep won the Cecil B. DeMille Award because, well, she's Meryl Streep—and she used her platform to slam President-elect Donald Trump as well as pay tribute to fallen friend Carrie Fisher in her speech.
"Thank you, Hollywood Foreign Press, just to pick up on what Hugh Laurie said. You and all of us in this room really belong to the most vilified segments in American society right now. Think about it, Hollywood, foreigners, and the press," she began. "But who are we? And what is Hollywood anyway? It's just a bunch of people from other places. I was born and raised and educated in the public schools of New Jersey. Viola was born in a sharecropper's cabin in South Carolina, came up in Central Falls, Rhode Island. Sarah Paulson was born in Florida, raised by a single mom in Brooklyn. Sarah Jessica Parker was one of seven or eight kids from Ohio. Amy Adams was born in Vicenza, Venento, Italy. And Natalie Portman was born in Jerusalem. Where are their birth certificates? And the beautiful Ruth Negga was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, raised in, no, in Ireland, I do believe, and she's here nominated for playing a small‑town girl from Virginia. Ryan Gosling, like all the nicest people, is Canadian. And Dev Patel was born in Kenya, raised in London, is here for playing an Indian raised in Tasmania," she said about the industry's diversity."
She continued, "So Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners, and if we kick them all out, you'll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts."
Streep went on to call out an incident in which Trump mocked a disabled reporter while on the campaign trail in 2015. "There were many, many, many powerful performances this year that did exactly that, breathtaking, compassionate work. But there was one performance this year that stunned me. It sank its hook in my heart not because it was good. It was—there was nothing good about it—but it was effective and it did its job," she said. "It made its intended audience laugh and show their teeth. It was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter, someone he outranked in privilege, power, and the capacity to fight back. It kind of broke my heart, and I saw it, and I still can't get it out of my head because it wasn't in a movie. It was real life. And this instinct to humiliate when it's modeled by someone in the public platform by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody's life because it kind of gives permission for other people to do the same thing."
She also spoke of the importance of the press, and ended on a quote from her late friend, Carrie Fisher. "We have to remind each other of the privilege and the responsibility of the act of empathy," she said. "We should all be very proud of the work Hollywood honors here tonight. As my friend, the dear departed Princess Leia said to me once, take your broken heart, make it into art. Thank you, friend."
Trump already responded on Twitter, writing, "Dishonest media says Mexico won't be paying for the wall if they pay a little later so the wall can be built more quickly. Media is fake!" Great!
