Tina Fey and Amy Poehler speak during the 72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, Jan. 11, 2015 (NBC)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When Richard Linklater’s Boyhood<\/em> arrived in theaters many months ago, many critics suspected that the film could walk away with a bunch of awards this year and if tonight’s winnings at the 72nd Golden Globes are any indication, that suspicion could come true. The movie was nominated for five awards and won three including Best Motion Picture. Other than that, the rest of the night was full of surprises.<\/p>\n

Shown live from the Beverly Hilton Hotel and hosted once again by Amy Poehler\u00a0and Tina Fey (who both swear that this will be their last time to host), were fantastic as usual. The Grand Budapest Hotel<\/em> won for Best Motion Picture: Comedy or Musical (for some reason), and The Theory of Everything<\/em> and Birdman<\/em> both won two awards each. How to Train Your Dragon 2<\/em> actually beat out Disney for Best Animated Film and the only musical, Annie<\/em>, did not for Best Original Song. That tribute went to Selma<\/em> for John Legend’s song “Glory.”<\/p>\n

For the TV awards, one of the biggest surprises was that only one TV show from the conventional TV stations won an award and it was for one of the least well-known shows on the air. Gina Rodriguez won for Best Performance by an Actress in a TV Series for her role in Jane the Virgin<\/em> which is from the CW network. Perhaps the next biggest surprise was that on the players newest to the field, Amazon, walked away with winnng two arwards for Transparent<\/em>. Jeffrey Tambor gave an emotional speech dedicating his award to the trans-gender community and thanked them for allowing him to be part of “the change” in America.<\/p>\n

The hight points of the night included commedianne Margaret Cho came dressed as Kim Jon Un and George Clooney winning the DeMille award and Michael Keaton’s acceptance speech for Birdman<\/em> thanking his son for being his best friend.<\/p>\n
