But the ceremony was packed with glitz and glamour – here's a recap of what went down.
What are the Golden Globe Awards?
The Golden Globe Awards are the first big awards ceremony in the Hollywood calendar.
It is put together by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a non-profit organisation of showbiz journalists and photographers, which was created in 1943 to award critically-acclaimed film and television shows.
The Globes take place five days before Oscar nomination voting closes and over the years has massively influenced the outcome of the Academy Awards.
The Globes have more categories – two types of Best Picture, for example – which comes to a total of 25 awards; 14 for films and 11 for television.
When were the 2018 Golden Globes and who hosted them?
For its 75th anniversary in 2018, the Golden Globes will take place THIS Sunday (January 7, 2018).
It will be hosted by NBC Late Night show host Seth Meyes, after celebrities such as Ellen DeGeneres and Tina Fey declined offers.
Seth follows in the footsteps of fellow NBC talk show host Jimmy Fallon, who hosted in 2017, Ricky Gervais, who hosted in 2012 and 2016 and Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who hosted in 2013 and 2015.
It'll be Seth's first time hosting the Golden Globes… but he does have the chops, having emceed the 2014 Emmys and the 2011 White House Correspondents Dinner.
