I just want to say this is (really) a fun night; thank you, thank you.

Jennifer Coolidge had the crowd in tears of laughter, Ryan Murphy delivered an empowering speech, and "Abbott Elementary" won big.

We're breaking down all our favorite moments from the 80th Golden Globe awards.

This episode of THR news is brought to you by Netflix.

The telecast and kickstarter to awards season returned to NBC after the network declined to air the 79th edition of the awards show

due to an industry-wide boycott after multiple controversy surrounding the Hollywood Foreign Press Association came to light.

But after the HFPA announced numerous reforms, the show was back on.

This year's Globes host, Jerrod Carmichael, kicked things off for the big night with an opening monologue that wasted no time addressing the controversy head on.

Then next, you're invited to be the black face of an embattled white organization.

The night was off to a hot start, with Ke Huy Quan taking home the award for best supporting actor for "Everything Everywhere All at Once",

and Angela Bassett for best supporting actress for her work on "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever".

We showed the world what black unity, leadership, and love looks like beyond, behind, and in front of the camera.

On the comedy side of the night, big wins went to Jeremy Allen White for best actor in a comedy series for "The Bear",

and Quinta Brunsonn for best actress in a comedy series for "Abbott Elementary".

Thank you for believing in this show about a group of teachers from Philadelphia.

It is resonated with the world in a way that I couldn't even imagine it would have.

But let's be real: I did imagine; that's why I sold it to you.

Other big wins included Colin Farrell for best actor in a comedy or musical for "The Banshees of Inisherin",

and Michelle Yeoh for best actress in a comedy or musical for "Everything Everywhere All at Once".

All the shoulders that I've stand [sic] on; all who came before me, who looks like me; and all who are going on this journey with me forward.

Among the night's most memorable moments were Jennifer Coolidge,

who, prior to winning for best supporting actress in a limited series for "The White Lotus", hilariously recounted her nerves ahead of the big night while presenting.

My biggest nightmare is really⏤it's just the pronunciation of people's names and I said,

"I can't do it, you know, once I say someone's name the wrong way, I'm screwed."

We got multiple shoutouts for one of the night's biggest stars, Rihanna.

Rihanna, I love you and I dressed up as you for Halloween; I just had to say that.

Rihanna, you take all the time you want on that album, girl.

And MJ Rodriguez earned a long-awaited and much-deserved standing ovation this year,

after becoming the first trans actress to ever win a Golden Globe at last year's untelevised ceremony.

I was so thrilled when it was announced that MJ Rodriguez from my show "Pose" had been awarded best actress in a drama series.

So, MJ please stand up, and let's give her the ovation that she deserves to hear.

Over on the drama side, big awards went to Austin Butler for best actor in a drama for his work on Baz Luhrmann's "Elvis",

and Steven Spielberg for best director for his work on "The Fabelmans".

Elsewhere, Ryan Murphy was this year's Carol Burnett Award recipient,

giving a resounding speech dedicating his award to his specific heroes in Hollywood like Billy Porter and Jeremy Pope.

For those kids watching tonight, I offer up MJ and Billy and Niecy and Matt and Jeremy as examples of possibility.

And Eddie Murphy received the coveted Cecil B. DeMille Award and shared some wise words of advice for all the dreamers and up-and-coming notable names in Hollywood.

Pay your taxes, mind your business, and keep Will Smith's wife's name (out of your f******) mouth!

And, finally, closing out the night on a high note,

"Abbott Elementary" took home the award for best comedy series, "House of the Dragon" for best drama series,

and "The Banshees of Inisherin" and "The Fabelmans" were given the top honors of the night,

taking home the award for best comedy or musical and best drama, respectively.
