The yearly self-congratulatory spectacle of awards season kicked off with the Golden Globes last Sunday night. The Globes, as always, were a little too long, a bit too unaware, and way too Gervais-y, but served as a great dress rehearsal for the (actually important) Oscars. Here are the moments that made the 2016 show worth watching.

Ricky Gervais as host, again

To be honest, it’s very hard for me to utter the name “Ricky Gervais” without an immediate sigh of contempt. How many times can he express his hate for awards shows and keep getting invited back? All it took was his opening monologue and a few pained reaction shots to let the audience know that no one, especially Gervais, looked forward to his fourth outing as host. If anything, he served to highlight how good we all had it with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

That Revenant bear gag

Look, no one tries all too hard on their banter at awards shows, especially not at the Globes. Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, though, took the inherently awkward low-energy deliveries and added some pained bear jokes.

America Ferrera and Eva Mendes

Poking fun at the trouble that the Globes have had with identifying Latina actresses, the pair were the best presenters of the night. Hopefully, their new shows will fare just as well.

Aziz Ansari’s cutaway

Ansari, star of the stellar Master of None, took his chance to fit a joke into his cutaway shot for Best Actor in a Comedy Series, holding up a book titled “Losing to Jeffrey Tambor with Dignity.” Even without a Tambor win, Ansari’s joke should be studied for years to come.

Quentin Tarantino’s use of “ghetto”

Kicking off a debate about if racially-charged words can be used by their dictionary definitions, Tarantino called the classification of movie composers a “ghetto,” which, by the word’s dictionary definition, is an acceptable choice. Besides Gervais’s awful monologue, this was the most think-pieced moment of the night.

Jamie Foxx’s use of “ghetto”

In a single-word rebuttal, Foxx quietly delivered one of the best lines of the night, softly saying “ghetto” after Tarantino left the stage.

Taraji P. Henson

On her way down to the stage for Best Actress in a Drama Series, Henson handed out cookies to audience members as an homage to her character Cookie in Empire, delighting both Leo DiCaprio and the entire audience.

Rachel Bloom’s speech

Bloom, star of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, delivered the emotional, erratic speech that the audience deserved, blessing us all with a moment of unfettered joy.

Mozart in the Jungle

Giving awards to lesser-seen series is noble, but honoring the wrong series can be a huge issue. Mozart in the Jungle is a freshman comedy, but, let’s be honest, it’s just not that good. Veep, Transparent, and Silicon Valley all probably deserved a win over the rough edges of Mozart.
