Robert Downey Jr.
The actor hammed it up in his speech honoring Jodie Foster, and you had to love him for it. No, really, you had to.
Les Misérables cast
The musical won the Best Motion Picture—Comedy or Musical, though Salmon Fishing in the Yemen probably had more jokes made about it.
Daniel Day-Lewis
The Lincoln star won the best actor award, and nothing was more expected or more satisfying. The guy is amazing.
Argo cast
Did you think it would beat Zero Dark Thirty and Lincoln? ...Yeah, we totally did, too. Totally.
Quentin Tarantino
Winning in maybe one of the toughtest categories, the Django Unchained director seemed as surprised as anyone that he'd won.
Anne Hathaway
Though she was the butt of a few cheeky jokes, the Les Mis star won her category and saw her film pick up some more hardware.
Don Cheadle
Our favorite underappreciated actor actually got some appreciation for his Showtime series House of Lies.
Ben Affleck
Following his snub from the Oscars, the night's biggest surprise winner must have been feeling pretty good—we know we were.
Sacha Baron Cohen
Seeming to channel Ricky Gervais, the funnyman offered some extremely inappropriate humor about his costars and other actors, which the audience ate up.
Claire Danes
The Homeland star won her second straight Golden Globe...and probably not her last.
Kristin Wiig & Will Ferrell
The funny pair had the entire room cracking up...except a dour Tommy Lee Jones.
Kevin Costner
Despite winning, the actor gave a serious-sounding speech that seemed at odds with his words of gratitude.
Lena Dunham
Proving awkward behavior doesn't only occur on Girls, the TV star thanked stars like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler for helping her through her middle-school years, which Fey & Co. made sure to take (mock) issue with.
Jodie Foster
While accepting her lifetime achievement award, the actress and director appeared to be ready to make a big announcement...only to pull back and make a strong argument in favor of privacy.
Hugh Jackman
The much-loved guy won for his role in Les Mis, and then gave a rousing acceptance speech that showed why he's so adored.
