Barbra Streisand has arrived to present and is greeted with a standing ovation. It feels a bit like she has written her own speech, talking about the need for more female directors and the importance of women speaking out against sexual abuse.
Well ever since Rockwell picked up best supporting actor, it seemed like it was the night for Three Billboards, a film that many voters might think is a film that speaks to the moment that we’re in due to its story about a woman taking on abusers in a small town.
In a season that’s more open than usual, it’s looking like we might have a new front-runner for best picture. Oscar nominations are released in a couple of weeks so let’s wait and see ...

One of the tightest races of the night is won by Frances McDormand for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
Some had expected Britain's Sally Hawkins to nick it for The Shape of Water, but in the end it was the Fargo Oscar winner who swung the votes of the HFPA membership.
McDormand - who gets a thumbs up from Meryl Streep for promising to buy drinks for her fellow nominees - thanks the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, not least "for electing a female president" in Meher Tatna.
She also has this to say in a speech whose occasionally fruity language tests the reflexes of the NBC censors.
It was really great to be in this room tonight and be part of a tectonic shift in the power structure.

What if you held a social protest and an awards show broke out? The red carpet preceding the 75th annual Golden Globes was a somber affair as women chose this moment to share with a global audience the unprecedented awakening of a decades-old pattern of sexual assault and harassment perpetrated against women in the film and TV business. The theme will certainly carry over to the Globes the way #OscarsSoWhite did two years ago during the Academy Awards.
Many have wondered about the validity of the Globes that are decided by about 90 foreign journalists nobody ever heard of, but here they come tonight in a ceremony live on NBC.
On the movie side, there are 10 Best Picture nominees in the categories of Drama and Musical or Comedy, plus the chance we’ll get an explanation of just how I, Tonya and especially Get Out qualify under the definition of a musical or a comedy.
In TV, we will see if the Hollywood Foreign Press Association will finally reward Will & Grace after 27 previous nominations, and 13 years after NBC’s multi-camera sitcom made its last showing at the Golden Globes. Or will the Globes reward a new Amazon comedy series, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, as they have in two of the past three years? On the drama side, the question is whether big — and timely — Emmy winner The Handmaid’s Tale will repeat its win here.
