Jimmy Fallon opened the ceremony with a long homage to La La Land, with cameos from Nicole Kidman, Amy Adams, Ryan Reynolds, Tina Fey, Justin Timberlake, and others. His opening speech was marred by a brief delay after his teleprompter broke.{{cite news |url=https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/01/jimmy-fallon-golden-globes-review |title=Jimmy Fallon Makes for an Oddly Tone-Deaf Golden Globes Host |author=Richard Lawson |newspaper=Vanity Fair |date=8 January 2017 |access-date=11 January 2017}}

Meryl Streep, recipient of the Golden Globe Cecil B.

Reception

Press coverage of the event largely focused on Meryl Streep's remarks and the responses to them, and this also dominated popular responses, generating what the BBC characterized as a "firestorm on Twitter".{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-38556030 |title=Donald Trump calls Meryl Streep 'overrated' after Golden Globes speech |publisher=BBC |date=9 January 2017 |access-date=10 January 2017}}{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-38558896 |title=Streep v Trump row sparks firestorm on Twitter |publisher=BBC |date=9 January 2017 |access-date=10 January 2017}} Donald Trump responded to Streep's comments on Twitter, describing her as "one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood" and a "Hillary flunky", and stating, "For the 100th time, I never 'mocked' a disabled reporter (would never do that) but simply showed him 'groveling' when he totally changed a 16 year old story that he had written in order to make me look bad. Just more very dishonest media!"{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/jan/09/donald-trump-calls-meryl-streep-over-rated-golden-globes-twitter |title=Donald Trump calls Meryl Streep 'over-rated' after Golden Globes speech |author=Andrew Pulver |newspaper=The Guardian |date=9 January 2017 |access-date=10 January 2017}}

Lorenzo Soria, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) which runs the annual Golden Globes ceremony, wrote on Twitter on January 10: "As an organisation of journalists, the HFPA stands by your defence of free expression and we reject any calls for censorship".{{citation |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-38588746 |title=Meryl Streep: Golden Globes organisers endorse speech |date=10 January 2017 |publisher=BBC |access-date=11 January 2017}} Dana White, president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, responded to Streep's reference to mixed martial arts (MMA), defending the sport as an art, and saying that "the last thing I expect is for an uppity 80-year-old lady to be in our demographic and love mixed martial arts". Scott Coker, president of Bellator MMA, also defended MMA as an art, and highlighted the sport's diversity; he invited Streep to attend an event.

Tom Hiddleston received backlash on social media for mentioning that Sudanese medical workers had "binge-watched" The Night Manager, while accepting the award for Best Actor – Miniseries or Television Film. He apologized after the ceremony for his "inelegantly expressed" remarks.{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-38570338 |title=Tom Hiddleston apologises for 'inelegant' Golden Globes speech |publisher=BBC |date=10 January 2017 |access-date=11 January 2017}}

Richard Lawson, reviewing the ceremony in Vanity Fair, stated that Jimmy Fallon's opening homage to La La Land began as "a fun, starry sampling of this year's nominees", but had "worn out its welcome" before the end. Lawson described Fallon as an "oddly tone-deaf" host, and criticized his opening speech: "The jokes were stale and wheezy and Fallon's lovable-cute shtick was more wearying than it was charming." He praised Kristen Wiig and Steve Carell's introduction of the Best Animated Feature Film award as "hilarious [...] weird, inspired, clever without smirking".

The Guardian{{'}}s film critic Peter Bradshaw expressed disappointment that La La Land{{'}}s success "shut out a lot of contenders that are now in danger of being forgotten and losing momentum", particularly highlighting Nocturnal Animals and Moonlight. He praised Isabelle Huppert's win for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama, calling it "the most extraordinary award".{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2017/jan/09/la-la-lands-landmark-haul-is-lovely-but-expect-more-drama-at-the-oscars |title=La La Land's landmark haul is lovely, but expect more drama at the Oscars |author=Peter Bradshaw |date=9 January 2017 |journal=The Guardian |access-date=10 January 2017}}
