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:

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.
The Skin I Live In (2011)

Two men spy from a car in The Limey.

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

If you fall into that second category, then we've pulled together a list of three great, underrated, titles available on Amazon Prime Video that are all worth checking out. Prime Video is home to some of the best movies available online, but it can be hard to find the ones you want. These three will at least give you a great place to start.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
