Last night was the 68th annual Golden Globe awards, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. Always a rousing party, with comedian Ricky Gervais hosting, there was no shortage of humor throughout the night — with many a celebrity quick to hit back at Gervais’ often cutthroat digs. Opening with a red carpet filled with gorgeous gowns (Anne Hathway, January Jones, Claire Danes), and a few misses (Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, Julianne Moore), it was a night of jubilant wins and enough surprises to keep the whole thing interesting.
