Benedict Cumberbatch's photobomb

Finger, Event, Hand, Celebrating, Hat, Nail, Tradition, Thumb, Ceremony, Gesture,
Benedict Cumberbatch couldn't resist an opportunity to photobomb – just like he did at the Oscars! This time it was Meryl Streep getting the treatment. 

If you're reaching peak Cumberbatch (and not in a  good way), you might not be the only one. He also appeared on stage alongside a 'surprised' Jennifer Aniston to present an award, mocking his own ubiquitous presence in Hollywood.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were presenting for the second year in a row and it was as funny as ever. There were jokes about The Interview and quality comparisons between the hair and make-up it took to transform Steve Carrell in Foxcatcher, and Tina's own beauty regime preparing for the Globes.

Maggie Gyllenhaal on women in TV

Maggie Gyllenhaal's speech said something really great about TV – long may it continue.

She said, 'I’ve noticed a lot of people talking about the wealth of roles for powerful women in television lately, and when I look around the room at the women who are in here and I think about the performances that I’ve watched this year, what I see actually are women who are sometimes powerful and sometimes not.

'Sometimes sexy, sometimes not. Sometimes honourable, sometimes not. And what I think is new is the wealth of roles for actual women in television and in film.'

Joanne Froggatt's character Anna went through all manner of trials in Downton Abbey this year. Sad as it was to watch, her moving performance landed her Best Supporting Actress in a mini-series.

We agree wholeheartedly.

Jared Leto on freedom of speech

Jared Leto had everyone talking. When the world had stopped asking for hair plaiting tips (yes, really), they listened as he offered some moving words about freedom of speech.

He said, 'To our brothers and sisters in France: our thoughts, our prayers, our hearts are with you tonight. Je suis Charlie.'

Wes Anderson's speech

Footwear, Coat, Trousers, Suit trousers, Collar, Shirt, Dress shirt, Suit, Outerwear, Formal wear,
We've told you all the reasons The Grand Budapest Hotel is a wonderfully deserving film and, as it took home the award for Best Comedy or Musical, we got to see the mighty Wes Anderson bringing a hint of silliness to an otherwise serious evening.

Quickly thanking those he needed to thank, he then turned to the members of the Hollywood Press Association who had the most unique first names. Because, why not?
