“Shut up, you disgusting, pill-popping deviant scum!” he said by way of greeting the champagne-guzzling crowd at the event organized by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

Appropriately enough, Taraji P. Henson passed out cookies while coming to the stage to accept her best actress award in a drama. Lady Gaga left with her first Globe for her recent work in “American Horror Story: Hotel”.
