Comedian Jerrod Carmichael hosted the revamped show, which had already been put on ice as the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) grappled with an industry boycott amid its diversity scandal. Inside the ballroom at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, guests seemed eager to be back in person at the event, where stars like Steven Spielberg, Colin Farrell and Quinta Brunson won big. The elephant in the room was tackled early on thanks to Carmichael, paving the way for some of the industry’s biggest stars to reunite again in January. Here are 10 things you haven’t seen on TV:

Brad Pitt is a graceful loser

The evening kicked off with Ke Huy Quan winning Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Everything everywhere all at once. Mandarin had no bigger fan in the audience than Pitt. The Oscar-winning actor was one of the first stars on his feet to cheer on Quan, who is now considered the big favorite to rehearse at the Oscars.

Salma Hayek leads support for Angela Bassett

Bassett won the supporting actress trophy for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and the whole room burst into applause. But it was Hayek who left his seat first and everyone quickly followed suit, including an energetic Pitt, Margot Robbie and more.

Speaking of Brad Pitt, he was the MVP of the Globes

There was no greater cheerleader for her peers than Pitt. The actor was one of the most energetic stars in the ballroom, cheering furiously for the winners throughout the night. When Austin Butler won for his role in Elvis, Pitt and Butler kissed on the way to the stage. It seems Pitt’s support was also acknowledged by Butler, as he remarked, “I’m in this room full of my heroes. Brad, I love you.”

Is Austin Butler still Elvis?

The actor looked a lot like the icon he portrayed in the Baz Luhrmann biopic throughout the night. “I didn’t even think about it,” Butler told reporters backstage, according to People. “I don’t think I always sound like him, but I guess I have to, because I hear it all the time.”

They arrived fashionably late, but did not disappoint. The power couple snuck to the side of the room and huddled together during the first part of the program. Despite the fact that Rihanna lost in her category pretty early on, you wouldn’t have known. RiRi even smiled when Carmichael and Niecy Nash made jokes about being in awe of her — which is pretty relatable.

Don’t mess with Michelle Yeoh

The veteran star had her much-deserved moment when she won Best Actress (Drama) for Everything everywhere all at once. So obviously she wouldn’t be played without a fight as she jokingly looked aside and told producers to “shut up” when they tried to get her off stage. “I can beat you,” Yeoh joked as the music started, “This is serious.”

Jennifer Coolidge gets beeped and the crowd goes wild

If you can believe it, The White Lotus The star won her first Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in a Limited Series, Anthology Series or TV Movie with her iconic performance.

My neighbors aren’t mean to me, things like that!…and none of those people, I’ve ever been invited to a party on my hill and now everyone is calling me guest !” she joked. “Mike White. F***ing s***…this is such a fun night, love you.”

Everybody loves Selena Gomez

The actress was kind to everyone who came near her – even in the bathroom queue – and lamented how difficult it was to walk in a fancy dress and heels. Her relatable nature has made her a big hit inside the theater with people clamoring to take pictures with Gomez.
