’12 Years A Slave,’ & ‘American Hustle’ win big at Golden Globes Awards 2014

Shockers and surprises

Indeed, there were plenty of other talked-about moments:

— Diane Keaton finished her presentation of the Cecil B. DeMille Award to Woody Allen by singing a Girl Scout song in a childlike voice.

— A Teleprompter malfunction led to presenters Jonah Hill and Margot Robbie reading their lines off a piece of paper.

— Jacqueline Bisset, who won best supporting actress in a TV series, miniseries or TV movie for her performance in Starz’s “Dancing on the Edge,” seemed breathless as she accepted the honor, staring at the camera for long seconds. At one point, she tried to put a hold on her emotions by giving herself a pep talk; at another point, she apparently uttered an obscenity.

Backstage, Bisset expanded on her remark that forgiving people is “the best beauty treatment.”

“I think if you get bitter you’re really in trouble and it doesn’t progress anything,” she said.

— Jennifer Lawrence, who won the first award of the evening, was nervous on stage and just as plain-speaking backstage.

Asked how she would celebrate, she responded, “I need to catch up on my drinking.”
