2020 Golden Globe Awards: Quentin Tarantino tries to cut the line and other things you didn't see - Fox News

LOS ANGELES – The 2020 Golden Globe Awards was certainly one for the books.

While viewers watched comedian Ricky Gervais rip into shortcomings of Hollywood’s elite during his opening monologue and throughout the night, Fox News was behind the scenes at the Golden Globes’ official viewing party and after-party put on by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association at the esteemed Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, Calif.

Although the dinner menu being served to the stars at the Golden Globes was plant-based, at the HFPA official viewing party, the vegan-only options were thrown out the window and celebrities and those in attendance enjoyed barbeque pork sliders, beef sliders choice of a sushi bar, fried shrimp and fresh oysters. Partygoers were also treated to pizza and a number of ravioli options.

GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS COMPLETE WINNERS LIST

After receiving their coveted Golden Globe awards, celebrities stopped by the HFPA party to have their awards officially engraved and to schmooze with each other while waiting. Here’s what viewers didn’t see on TV last night.

Not willing to wait

Quentin Tarantino, playing by his own set of rules, reached the thick traffic of celebrities and their handlers and was ushered to the back of the engraving line after he attempted to push his way to the front and was rebuffed. The 56-year-old filmmaker walked by a few fans who congratulated him on his win before storming out of the after-party with an un-engraved Golden Globe in tow.

An insider told Fox News the “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” director simply didn’t want to hold the large black box that the Globe is placed in once the engraving is completed.

Taking it all in

Showing up around 11:41 p.m., Renee Zellweger might have been the most excited of all the celebrities who made appearances at the official Golden Globes after-party, raising both hands in the air as she walked in to have her Golden Globe engraved.

Zellweger was all smiles all evening and maintained her positive demeanor throughout the entire night. The “What/If” actress shared a true Hollywood moment with “Parasite” director Bong Joon-ho as the pair introduced themselves, with Joon-ho telling Zellweger that he is “such a huge fan” of her work. An elated Zellweger returned the gesture, adding, “This is all so crazy to me!”

SALMA HAYEK STUNS AT GOLDEN GLOBES: SEE THE DRESS

While Zellweger drank water all night, the “Judy” star spoke about some of the challenges of walking in her pastel blue gown, saying she felt uneasy about stepping on the bottom, adding that she didn’t want to be rude about telling people they were, in fact, stepping on her dress.

Still joking

After securing his win for actor in a drama motion picture with his performance in “Joker,” Joaquin Phoenix charmed everyone he interacted with while going through the process for his trophy, even bantering with Patricia Arquette, who could barely contain herself as she marveled at the process of seeing her Golden Globe award engraved. The actress almost didn’t want to give up her award as she gave three fist pumps with her trophy in hand.

Following her powerful acceptance speech for taking home the Golden Globe for best actress in a limited series or TV movie for her role in “Fosse/Verdon,” Michelle Williams made her way backstage to the official party at about 10:45 p.m., before the rush. The actress waited about stoically and chatted up a few eager fans before taking photos with her newly minted trophy. Then, she left.

Famous firsts

Awkwafina made history on Sunday as the first woman of Asian descent to win a Golden Globe for lead actress in a comedy. The “Farewell” performer arrived at the HFPA after-party to a round of applause and immediately put her wittiness on full display as she joked to waiting fans, “I didn’t even notice you guys there!”

While awaiting her trophy, the 31-year-old said, “I wish I had my phone!” as she wished to capture the engraving process for her first-ever Golden Globe for her personal archives. Awkwafina made it a point to stop and thank fans on her way out.

After locking down a win for actress in a drama TV series for her role in “The Crown,” Olivia Colman walked into the swanky shindig to huge fanfare around 11:25 p.m. and mingled with fans and big winners as she waited for her Globe to be engraved. Colman looked regal and stunning in her red gown with puffy shoulders and smiled from ear to ear as she was handed a glass of what appeared to be white wine.

Upon exiting, Colman shared a congratulatory exchange with another fan before accidentally bumping into a just-arriving Quentin Tarantino, who was moving briskly through the crowd. For her part, Colman shot an “oops” to the fan and covered her mouth before smiling and leaving.

Harvey Weinstein on Trial: Why a Culture of Secrecy Extends to the Courtroom - Hollywood Reporter

Despite (or because of) intense media coverage, Judge  James  Burke is keeping many of the high-profile criminal proceeding’s most pressing questions — including witness names and allegations — on lockdown.

When it comes to Harvey Weinstein, a culture of silence persists. The once-high-flying mogul will stand trial in Manhattan beginning Jan. 6 on charges of sexual assault, but don’t think for a second that this criminal proceeding represents a victory for clarity in the muck of darkness. At least, it hasn’t thus far.

To be certain, the exposure two years ago of Weinstein as an alleged serial predator amounted to a victory for the maxim that sunlight is an effective disinfectant.

But the trial before New York Supreme Court Judge James Burke still holds many secrets. Exactly who is accusing Weinstein of what? Despite worldwide media coverage, it’s still unclear. With nearly everything in this case sealed by the judge — including the names of potential witnesses and their allegations — reporters are relying on a shallow trove of court documents that have been made public to convey the gist of a proceeding expected to last approximately six weeks.

Is that a problem? Well, maybe not right away, but it could become one.

Cameras will not be permitted to film the proceedings, but media are allowed in a small gallery (150 journalists have RSVP’d, no overflow room), so witnesses and their testimony almost certainly will become public once the trial begins. There are reasons to maintain confidentiality in advance of trial — both for the accusers and for Weinstein. "This is so high-profile that the judge is going to make an extra effort to keep information from being seen by potential jurors so as to preclude any argument that Weinstein didn’t get a fair trial," says New York criminal attorney Mark Bederow. Adds Berit Berger, a former prosecutor and the executive director of Columbia Law School’s Center for the Advancement of Public Integrity, "It is not unusual for a judge to take extraordinary measures to protect victims, and here there is an allegation that Weinstein in the past intimidated witnesses."

But secrecy does — or should — have limits. If this were like most criminal cases, the public would by now have seen the range of questions that lead prosecutor Joan Illuzzi-Orbon and Weinstein trial attorneys Arthur Aidala and Donna Rotunno propose to ask jurors. Also typically revealed in advance are the judge’s orders determining which evidence is precluded on grounds of being prejudicial and the judge’s basis for determining which witnesses are relevant and can testify.

This is no small matter. As the two Bill Cosby criminal trials demonstrated, "propensity evidence" — meaning testimony showing that a defendant engaged in behavior indicating a pattern — could sway the outcome. In Cosby’s first trial, one such witness testified and the jury couldn’t reach a verdict. In the second trial, five women testified they were drugged and assaulted; the jury convicted.

In the Weinstein case, Judge Burke, a former prosecutor, is allowing three "prior bad act" witnesses — Sopranos actress Annabella Sciorra is also expected to take the stand — as well as the two witnesses (Weinstein Co. production assistant Mimi Haleyi and an accuser yet to be identified) who will testify about charged crimes. But it remains a mystery just how the judge reached this decision and exactly who was precluded from taking the stand. If the case is appealed, the justification for allowing these witnesses could become paramount in the review.

Without the pretrial rulings, the public may also lack a full sense of the ground rules for the trial. For example, in court papers and public commentary, Weinstein’s lawyers alleged an NYPD officer coached a witness during the investigation and suggested the criminal charges were politically motivated. Possible witness tampering appears to have caused prosecutors to back away from a charge connected to one accuser, former actress Lucia Evans. Will any of this come up at trial? If it doesn’t, will such silence be strategic or be because the judge has ruled such talk irrelevant and prejudicial?

"It’s a dangerous road for the judge to be sealing all these documents," says Roy Black, a defense attorney who has represented Jeffrey Epstein and Justin Bieber. "The court has to be very cognizant of being a public forum. Everyone wants to see justice done in the courtroom, so they can’t be left guessing why the important decisions are being made."

This point may be particularly crucial given that the defendant is Weinstein, who went to great effort over the years to foster secrecy. As a result of nondisclosure agreements and a culture of complicity surrounding him, a sense of procedural mistrust may permeate any discussion of the case. The verdict seems particularly susceptible to skepticism.

Partly for this reason, more than a dozen news outlets, including The New York Times, CNN and Fox News, challenged the sealing of the court record. In May, an appeals court upheld the judge’s discretion in order to prevent the tainting of the jury pool. Since then, the majority of court documents have not been made public. The largely covert nature of the proceeding hasn’t prevented Weinstein’s attorney from blaming the media for keeping her client from getting a fair trial.

"With the media running rampant, afraid of, or complicit with countless people who have axes to grind against Harvey Weinstein, the prosecutors attempted to gag me from speaking publicly," Rotunno wrote in a Dec. 21 column for Newsweek, possibly hinting at a defense strategy of blaming media coverage.

"They wanted to silence the opposition to allow the press to continue pushing their narrative," Rotunno wrote. "But a weaponized press working on behalf of the prosecution serves no place in a just society. They failed because Justice Burke understands the one-sided media rampage cannot be justified. Can the same be said about society?"

Awkwafina makes Golden Globes history - CNN

"The Farewell" star is the first performer of Asian descent to win a Golden Globe Award in a lead actress film category.

She's only the sixth woman of Asian descent to be nominated in the lead actress in a musical or comedy category.

The others were Machiko Kyo (1956's "The Teahouse of the August Moon"), Miyoshi Umeki (1961's "Flower Drum Song"), Yvonne Elliman (1973's "Jesus Christ Superstar"), and Constance Wu (2018). Hailee Steinfeld, whose mother is of Filipino descent, was also nominated for her work in "Edge of Seventeen."

Wu's nomination last year was notable for ending a disappointing drought of female nominees of Asian descent that lasted almost half a century.

Awkwafina joins a small group of performers of Asian lineage who have won Golden Globe awards since the show started. Sandra Oh is the only performer of Asian descent to have won twice.

"The Farewell," which features as predominantly Asian cast, tells the story of a young woman named Billi (Awkwafina) whose family decides to keep news of a terminal diagnosis from the family's elder matriarch, Billi's grandmother Nai Nai (Shuzhen Zhao).

Writer and director Lulu Wang adapted a personal story she first told on NPR's "This American Life."

In her acceptance speech, Awkwafina said Wang gave her "the chance of a lifetime" and "taught me so much."

She dedicated her award to her father.

"I told you I'd get a job, dad."

Joaquin Phoenix tests censors with Golden Globes acceptance speech - CNN

At Sunday's Golden Globes, the "Joker" star accepted his award for best actor in a drama film with a rambling and heavily-bleeped speech that addressed the climate crisis, paid tribute to his fellow nominees and contained a sweet nod to fianceé Rooney Mara.

"Contrary to popular belief, I don't want to rock the boat. But the boat is f------ rocked," Phoenix said in a statement partially redacted by network censors.

He went on to address the fires in Australia and the ongoing the climate crisis, calling on Hollywood and his peers to do better.

Among his suggestions? Not taking "private jets to Palm Springs."

Phoenix said that he, too, is working to do better.

He praised the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which is behind the annual awards, for the "bold move of making tonight plant-based."

The decision to serve a vegan feast at the Golden Globes was made out of concern for climate change, the HFPA said earlier this week.

Phoenix thanked his fellow nominees, saying, "I really do feel honored to be honored with you."

He also thanked "Joker" director Todd Phillips -- calling him an "amazing friend and collaborator" -- and got choked up when addressing Mara.

"Rooney, I love you."

He added: "I'm so grateful for this night and all of you. Thank you."

Phoenix's win marks the second time he's won a Golden Globe. He won his first in 2006 for playing Johnny Cash in "Walk The Line."

Your 2020 Golden Globes viewing guide - CNN

Here's what you need to know about Hollywood's golden night, brought to you by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, to honor the best in film and television.

Who's hosting?

British comedic actor Ricky Gervais will be returning to host the show for a fifth time.

He took on master of ceremony duties previously from 2010-2012 and in 2016.

Gervais is known for his biting humor and in the past has run afoul of some in Hollywood for his biting wit while hosting.

That alone should make it worth it to tune in just to see who, if anyone, he skewers.

Top nominees

This year it's all about the streaming services.

Netflix led in total nominations, thanks to a strong showing from the films "Marriage Story" and "The Irishman." The dramas were nominated for six and five awards respectively.

In the television categories, the Netflix series "The Crown" and "Unbelievable" got four nominations each, as did HBO's "Chernobyl."

Two major stars won't have to compete to be honored.

Tom Hanks will be receiving the Cecil B. DeMille Award, while Ellen DeGeneres will be the recipient of the Carol Burnett Award in recognition of their careers.

Hanks is actually competing, however. He's up for best supporting actor in a motion picture for his role in "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood."

Presenters

Some of the biggest names in the industry are set to present at the ceremony. They include Tim Allen, Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman, Cate Blanchett, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tiffany Haddish, Scarlett Johansson, Margot Robbie, Zoe Kravitz, Jason Momoa Elton John and former host Amy Poehler.

Moments to watch

Besides checking for Gervais's snark level, there's always the chance a winner will talk about politics in their acceptance speech.

Given all that's happening in the world and the fact it is an election year, we are almost betting on it.

Folks will also be waiting to see if Jennifer Lopez snags a statue for her much hailed performance in "Hustlers" and if Joe Pesci will show up even though he's known to shun the spotlight.

He's nominated for best supporting actor for his role in "The Irishman."

Where to watch

The event telecast will air Sunday at 8 p.m. EST on NBC.
