Is this Joaquin Phoenix's first Golden Globe? He has previously won Best Actor in a Motion Picture ¨C Musical or Comedy Golden Globe for Walk the Line (2006) in which he played the role of iconic country singer Johnny Cash. Phoenix was previously nominated for movies including Gladiator (2001), The Master (2013), Her (2014), and Inherent Vice (2015).
With that, Brad Pitt also won big at the award ceremony. He won his first acting Golden Globe trophy in over two decades. Last, he had won the Best Actor in a Supporting Role award for 12 Monkeys. And now, 24 years later, he bagged another trophy for Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

When he won the award, he delivered a delightful speech. He gave a shout out to Leonardo DiCaprio and also said that he "would have shared the raft" with the Titanic actor.
Not only that, he also joked about his dating life with Jennifer Aniston. "I wanted to bring my mom but I couldn't because any woman I stand next to, they say I'm dating," he mocked the rumours.
And now, people can't stop gushing over it.

Jennifer Aniston giving an approving smirk while Reese Witherspoon looking disgusted at Brad Pitt¡¯s #GoldenGlobes speech perfectly encapsulates every friendship after a guy has cheated. Always going for that second chance while the bff disapproves!! pic.twitter.com/veMKLPtqRw
