Some of cinema and television’s most influential producers and celebrated make-believists gathered at the Beverly Hilton Sunday night for the Golden Globes, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s gala event held annually as a means of unloading a bunch of cheap trophies never picked up by the 8th grade geography trivia team that ordered them some seventy years ago. The nominees for the night were announced a month ago to the day, and last night, in the brief interims between Sofía Vergara’s insistent Diet Pepsi endorsements, the winners were announced, applauded for, and given a short chance to show off the redundant “thank you” skills instilled by their moms. And then George Clooney demonstrated how Michael Fassbender’s penis was long enough that it could be used as a fleshy, hands-free golf club substitute, but since it was Clooney saying it, it still seemed sort of like a classy, charming way to talk about a guy’s dick in relation to sporting goods.

Anyway, here’s who won (as marked by boldness):
