Love them or hate them, the Golden Globes are always a hell of a night. The 2017 ceremony brought a deluge of wins for La La Land, political speeches and honors for newbies like Atlanta and The Crown.

Below, our roundup of the best and worst from the three-hour ceremony.

The Best

The La La Land opener

Tweet may have been deleted

There’s nothing Hollywood loves more than Hollywood -- and, of course, making fun of it. Fallon’s opening number, a tribute to awards darling La La Land, was the perfect way to kick off an awards show in the city of stars.

It began -- as many Los Angeles days do -- with a bunch of people sitting in traffic. This time, the freeway was replaced by the Golden Globes carpet, and a sea of stretch limos. The Stranger Things squad rapped, Nicole Kidman and Amy Adams danced, and Westworld’s Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) and Game of Thrones’ Kit Harington made appearances.

Of course, Justin Timberlake and Fallon also shared a Ryan Gosling/Emma Stone-style dance (only afterFallon hilariously turned down Tina Fey). We'd watch that remake.

Hugh Laurie's HFPA joke

Despite dramatic turns like his Globe-winning work in The Night Manager, Laurie is a finely honed comedian, delivering wisecracks with a sarcastic twinkle in his eye.

“The last Golden Globes,” he said while accepting his award. “I don't mean to be gloomy but it has the words 'Hollywood,' 'foreign' and 'press' in it," he said, referencing the coming Donald Trump administration.

Dev Patel and Sunny Pawar co-presenting and melting our hearts

Tweet may have been deleted

Sorry Jacob Tremblay, sorry Stranger Thingskids, but the most popular pint-sized red carpet celeb is Lion’s Sunny Pawar, rocking his kicks and having to be lifted magnificently into the air by Dev Patel to introduce Lion’s Best Motion Picture - Drama nomination.

Ryan Reynolds and Andrew Garfield kiss

While we were busy watching one of our many internet boyfriends, Ryan Gosling, talk about being a dreamy pianist in La La Land, the other Canadian Ryan (Reynolds) and Andrew Garfield shared an intimate moment. Thankfully, the internet was there for us -- and made sure it was a moment we didn’t miss.

And just like that: A new bromance is born. We totally ‘ship it.

Viola Davis introducing Meryl Streep

Davis and Streep shared the screen in 2008's Doubt, and Davis's introduction for Streep's Cecil B. DeMille award was pure poetry. Viola, please introduce everything forever.

"Dame Streep," said a reverent Davis. "Her artistry reminds of the impact of what it means to be an artist, which is to make us feel less alone."

Streep's speech was perfect as well.

Moonlight wins Best Motion Picture - Drama

2016 was an exceptional year for movies. La La Landmay have swept its categories, but with Comedy and Drama separated for the Globes, Moonlight's victory was imminent. Barry Jenkins' poignant and understated story of one boy's journey to manhood is stirring, immense and not to be missed.

The Worst

Jimmy Fallon's Chris Rock impression

Fallon may have meant it to be innocent, but his impersonation of Chris Rock immediately ignited criticism.

Sofia Vergara “misreading” teleprompter

Tweet may have been deleted

It's an awful waste to make Vergara -- a beautiful, hilarious, talented actress -- do the same bit every time. We get it, she has an accent. Must it always be poked fun at?

"Hidden Fences"

Tweet may have been deleted

In a year when the Best Limited Series category included The Night Of, The Night Manager, American Crimeand American Crime Story, the titles that kept getting garbled were Hidden Figuresand Fences.

Jenna Bush Hager made the mistake on the red carpet while interviewing an unamused Pharrell Williams, which was a significant enough standalone gaffe before Michael Keaton repeated it during the awards ceremony.

Chastain and the Redmayne

Brad Pitt’s beautiful introduction to the even more beautiful Moonlightgot inexplicably followed up by Jimmy Fallon’s clunky "Insane in the Membrane" introduction of presenters Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne. Jimmy...why?
