From Diego Luna to Sofia Vergara: The Best & Worst Latino Moments of 2017 Golden Globes

As we bemoaned when nominations were announced for 2017’s Golden Globe awards, Latinos got the short end of the stick this year. I mean, how do you deprive us of J. Lo’s fabulousness on the red carpet by not nominating Shades of Blue? And of the four Latinos nominated, not one took home a statuette. That’s right, zero. Thankfully, the actual ceremony delivered plenty of memorable moments reminding us that Latinxcellence is all around (though, not, as it turns out, in Jimmy Fallon’s star-studded opening musical number). But more than that, the entire ceremony felt like a rebuke to the current political climate and a celebration of difference.

As Hugh Laurie quipped when he won for his performance in The Night Manager, the night was, after all, hosted by an association that contains the words “Hollywood,” “Foreign,” and “Press” in its title, three of the most vilified things in our post-election country. In powerful speeches and gestures, Hollywood’s best and brightest seemed to be fighting back against the hateful rhetoric put forth by the president-elect. More tellingly, perhaps, none gave him the benefit of uttering his name.

While La La Land swept, Moonlight managed only to nab Best Motion Picture – Drama, and Gina, Lin-Manuel and Gael all lost their respective nods (!), there were still plenty of moments from the ceremony worth singling out. Find below our list of the best and worst moments from this year’s Globes.
