The 74th annual Golden Globes were held Sunday evening, and oh was it an eventful night!
Before the ceremony even started, Jenna Bush was on the red carpet, confusing Fences and Hidden Figures, two of the most critically-acclaimed black films of the year. Pharrell Williams, one of the producers for Hidden Figures, reacted accordingly.

Then, Donald Glover and the rest of the Atlanta squad won Best Series, Musical or Comedy. In a very important speech, Glover thanked the black folk of Atlanta, as well as Migos for making "Bad and Boujee."

Not too soon after, Davis returned to the stage to give a tribute/introduction for Meryl Streep. Viola's tribute deserved a Golden Globe itself.
Meryl got up there and spoke about everything that's wrong about our country right now.
