The Golden Globes: What happened after the show?
What went down after Jimmy Fallon signed off the Golden Globes telecast Sunday night? Only a multitude of A- list after- parties. USA TODAY’s Andrea Mandell, Bryan Alexander, Bill Keveney and Carly Mallenbaum take you inside the best bashes.
THE INSTYLE / WARNER BROS. PARTY 1. GOLDEN GLOBES MEETS ‘ GOSSIP GIRL’
The extravagant InStyle/ WB party felt like something out of the teen soap Gossip Girl. So it made sense that both Serena and Blair ( aka actresses Blake Lively and Leighton Meester) were there, talking with their respective husbands ( Ryan Reynolds and Adam Brody) at opposite ends of the room.
2. TRACEE ELLIS ROSS MATCHES HER TROPHY
After winning her first Globe for Black- ish, Ross changed out of a structured white dress and into a slinky gown that was as golden as her Globe. The matching “wasn’t on purpose, but it worked,” she said from a VIP couch at the soiree. “I’m gonna sleep with ( the Globe) tonight. I’ll wrap it in a towel so I don’t hurt myself.”
THE HBO BASH 3. WINTER IS HERE … AT LEAST FOR ONE NIGHT
At the HBO party, those in need of a Game of Thrones fix could enjoy a one- night- only confab of Brienne of Tarth, Jaime Lannister and Davos Seaworth, as the actors who play them, Gwendoline Christie, Nikolaj Coster- Waldau and Liam Cunningham, sat together at a central table. Cunningham offered USA TODAY some broad detail on the upcoming season of
Thrones, where plot specifics are under lock and key. “It’s going to be much different and it’s going to be bigger. The vistas. It’s going to look absolutely extraordinary,” he said.
THE AMAZON STUDIOS AFFAIR 4. AND THE AWARD FOR BEST LIVE ENTERTAINMENT GOES TO ...
If you were looking for insanely good live music, the Amazon Studios party was the place to be. The Roots took the stage at 10: 05 and played for more than an hour to a large crowd that included Jason Schwartzman, Billy Bob Thornton, Jeffrey Tambor and Lily Collins.
5. THE BROTHERS AFFLECK
Ben Affleck celebrated his brother Casey’s best- actor Globes win for Manchester by the Sea at this bash. The elder Affleck hung out in a back room for bit, then made his way to the front of the party. “Where’s Matt?” he asked, walking by a crowded dance floor in search of Matt Damon. Found him! His longtime pal was tucked in a corner with his wife, Luciana.
THE WEINSTEIN CO. / NETFLIX PARTY 6. IT’S ALL FRIENDS IN VIP
If there was a party MVP, it went to The People v. O. J.
Simpson star Cuba Gooding Jr., who celebrated deep into the night with friends. Gooding shed his jacket and partied in his white shirt and black suspenders, hugging pals and well- wishers and taking selfies with fans.
7. NO REST FOR THIS ‘ LION’
Dev Patel might not have taken home the Golden Globe for best supporting actor in Lion, but he partied like a champion long into the evening. While director Garth Davis drank from a special champagne goblet nearby, Patel group- danced with friends to Pitbull’s I Know You Want Me with his long hair unkempt. He hung in an elevated VIP area with a three female admirers, finally taking a group photograph.
