This year’s 74th annual Golden Globe Awards were black as hell.
Even though Best Drama winner “Moonlight” got shut out of most of the awards it should have won, and even though Denzel Washington lost his much-deserved acting award for “Fences,” black people still showed out and pushed through in what was the most inclusive Golden Globes ceremony in decades.
From Donald Glover’s epic (and numerous) acceptance speeches for “Atlanta” to Tracee Ellis Ross’s tribute to “women of color and colorful people,” to Questlove’s amazingly eclectic djing for the night, it was an evening in which black people definitely stood out. Below are some of the highlights:
