Though the free-flowing booze and weird crowd shotstypically definethe Golden Globes, this year's show took a decidedly more political toneas several winners spent their speech time bad-mouthing president-elect Donald Trump.

Streep calls out Trump's 'performance'

Though Meryl Streep was being feted with the Cecil B. DeMille Award the Golden Globes' version of a lifetime achievement prize it was Trump's "performance" she couldn't stop talking about. Particularlywhen he seemed to mockareporter with a disability during a November 2015 speech something Trump denied doing.

"It kind of broke my heart when I saw it, and I still can't get it out of my head, because it wasn't in a movie. It was real life," she told the room full of celebrities, who had fallen silent. "Disrespect invites disrespect, violence incites violence. And when the powerful use their position to bully others we all lose."

Streep never actually used Trump's name duringher speech, referring to him as "he." But it was clear who the actress was talking aboutas she blasted some of the president-elect's policies.

"Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners. And if we kick them all out, you'll have nothing to watch but football andmixed martial arts, which are not the arts."

Trump responded on Monday morning via Twitter, calling Streep"over-rated" and a "flunky" of Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. Trump also denied he had "mocked" New York Times investigative reporter Serge Kovaleski and said such claims are the work of "dishonest media."

Golden Globes 'still honours the popular vote'

It wasn't just Streepwho had words for Trump though. The insults started flying moments after the ceremony began. Fallonlikened Trump to Game of Thrones villain Joffrey Baratheon and poked fun at the election results.

"This is the Golden Globes, one of the few places left where America still honours the popular vote," he said to laughs.

Actor Hugh Laurie also chimed in, while accepting his trophy for best supporting actorin aTV movie or limited series for The Night Manager.

"I won this at the last ever Golden Globes," he deadpanned. "I don't mean to be gloomy. It's just that it has the words Hollywood, foreign and press in the title."

Hidden Figures or Hidden Fences?

For some reason, Hidden Figures, the film about three African American women working at NASA, caused a lot of confusion.

When actor Michael Keaton wasannouncingthe nominees for best supporting actress, he mistakenly called the movie Hidden Fences.

That's after NBC correspondent (and George W. Bush's daughter) Jenna Bush Hager made the same flub hours earlier on the red carpet, telling an unimpressed best original score nominee Pharrell that he was nominated for Hidden Fences.

Twitter users caught on quick, devising potential summaries for the fake film.

Why the mistake was made not once but twice is unclear. There was another nominated film called Fenceswhich starredDenzel Washington and Viola Davis (for which she picked up best supporting actress). But maybe both just had actual fences on themind.

Monologue 'sabotaged' by faulty prompter

A host's opening monologue is supposed to set the tone forthe show. But Fallon was forced to improvise it when his teleprompterstopped working as soon as the live portion of the awards began.

"Already the teleprompter's down so this is a great way to start the show," he told the crowd.

The comedian awkwardly ad-libbedwhile another prompter was quickly brought in. He even made light of the situation later on in the show: "I just got off the phone with Mariah Carey and she thinks that Dick Clark Productions sabotagedmy monologue."

The company produced both the Golden Globes and Carey's trainwreck New Year's Eve performance.

Canadian beats Canadian

It was a nice night to be Canadian. During her speech, Streep gave a shout out to the country, saying "all the nicest people" are Canadian.

And there was a good chance a Canuck was going to win in the best actor comedy or musical category, which pitted London, Ont.'s Ryan Gosling (La La Land) against Vancouver's Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool).

Gosling ended up taking the honours, prodding Reynolds in his acceptance speech: "This isn't the first time I've been mistaken for Ryan Reynolds. It's getting out of hand."

Reynolds' consolation prize was a big smooch from seatmate Andrew Garfield as Gosling took the stage to give his speech.
