The 74th annual Golden Globe Awards honor some of the best projects and performers from the past year of movies and television. Along with being a boozy and relatively loose affair, the event typically has a few surprises in store for pre-show prognosticators.

With Jimmy Fallon as the host, this year’s ceremony showered honors on Whiplash director Damien Chazelle’s modern musical La La Land, which took home a Golden Globe for each of the seven categories in which it was nominated. Along with being named the year’s best movie (in the comedy or musical category) and awarding trophies to both its stars, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, the film also took home Golden Globes for its director, screenplay, and original score, and original song, City of Stars.

On the dramatic side, Moonlight was named the year’s best drama film, with Manchester by the Sea star Casey Affleck and Elle star Isabelle Huppert named the year’s best dramatic actors. The win for Affleck is particularly notable given the involvement of Amazon Studios in the project, as it was the first Golden Globe Award won for a film produced by Amazon’s movie- and television-making studio.

A few, select television projects dominated the small-screen nominations, with Netflix taking home two Golden Globes for The Crown, which beat HBO’s Game of Thrones and Westworld to be named the year’s best drama series and sent its star Claire Foy home with an additional award for the year’s best actress in a drama series. Amazon Studios also claimed an additional award on the television side, with Goliath star Billy Bob Thornton beating Rami Malek of Mr. Robot and Bob Odenkirk of Better Call Saul for the Golden Globe awarded to the year’s best actor in a drama series.

Also earning multiple Golden Globes for television projects were the two dramatic miniseries The People v. O.J.: American Crime Story and The Night Manager, which took home two and three awards, respectively, on the night. It was a particularly good night for Atlanta creator Donald Glover, who took home the Golden Globe for the year’s best actor in a comedy or musical series, and saw his celebrated new series win the award for the year’s best comedy or musical series — beating Amazon’s Transparent and HBO’s Veep, as well as last year’s winner, Mozart in the Jungle.

The ceremony also honored Meryl Streep, an eight-time Golden Globe winner herself, with the 2017 Cecil B. DeMille Award. Streep offered up one of the show’s memorable moments with an acceptance speech that criticized President-elect Donald Trump’s treatment of the disabled, journalists, people of foreign descent, and artists in various media.

The full list of the night’s nominees and winners settled out as follows:

A cat points a bat at another cat in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

While Nimona has been the big Netflix original animated film of the summer, it's far from the only addition to the lineup. Netflix is making sure that animation fans are well served in August with the first two Despicable Me movies, Bee Movie, and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2. However, Netflix's biggest recent addition is one of 2022's biggest animated hits: DreamWorks' Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

Netflix's deals with Sony Pictures Animation, DreamWorks Animation, and Universal Pictures have given it a powerhouse library of animated films. And that's before we even get into Netflix's impressive originals like The Sea Beast. To help you keep track of what's new and what you can stream right now, we've updated our list of the best animated movies on Netflix.

From Barbarella to Howard the Duck: the 7 cheesiest sci-fi movies ever
Howard the Duck in "Howard the Duck."

The science-fiction genre has a vast smorgasbord of cheesy films stretching way back to the early days of cinema. Such pictures are known for their weird stories, unrealistic dialogue, low-budget productions, and exaggerated acting.

While many of these films have been panned by critics and audiences alike, some of them have garnered success for being "so bad, they're good." Whether or not they have been held up by a dedicated fan base, these seven movies stand out as the cream of the cheesy sci-fi crop.

10 best Batman stories ever, ranked
Batman Year One cover

Bounding from rooftop to rooftop, the Dark Knight never misses his mark. He operates like a well-oiled machine tracking bad guys, beating them to a bloody pulp, and throwing them in the slammer - or Arkham Asylum should they be anyone of Gotham's notable supervillains. As the brainchild of Bob Kane and Bill Finger, an artist and writer duo, Batman has been pounding the pavement of Gotham ever since his debut in Detective Comics in 1939. He's undergone a number of changes since his original conception ultimately becoming the brooding powerhouse we know today.

Most understand the basic tenants of Batman these days. His parents were murdered before his young eyes leading him down this path of personal vindication and pursuit of justice. Batman, in most iterations, never resorts to killing -- the one crime that separates his outlaw vigilante operations from the real criminals. Of course, it wasn't always that way. In Batman's earliest days, he had no qualms about ending the lives of baddies on the streets. Even now, some stories and films like Tim Burton's gothic take on the character depict him looking on with cold and uncaring glares as criminals meet their end. Regardless, Batman is mostly a well-established hero simply seeking justice and there are countless stories of the Caped Crusader. Let's take a look at the best among them.
