"Gianni Versace was murdered 20 years ago. He was one of the very few public figures who was out during a time of intense hate and fear," producer Brad Simpson said in his acceptance speech for Best Limited Series. "Those forces of hate and fear are still with us. They tell us that we should be scared of people who are different than us. They tell us we should put walls around ourselves. As artists, we must fight back by representing those who are not represented and by providing a space for people with new voices to tell stories that haven't been told."

The Best Performance by an Actor win was a fully earned nod to Darren Criss, whose portrayal of the unhinged Cunanan was both unsettling and captivating. Criss thanked Murphy and the Fox and FX networks for "making me feel like I made varsity this year" and dedicated the award to his mother.

Aside from those wins, Miami-connected films and TV projects were largely shut out of this year's awards. If Beale Street Could Talk, Miami director Barry Jenkins' followup to his Oscar-winning Moonlight, has earned critical accolades and was nominated in three categories, but supporting actress Regina King took home the film's only award. In her speech, she praised the director: "Barry Jenkins, I love you with all my heart. Thank you for your empathy, thank you for telling stories so rich, and thank you for giving us a film that my son said to me when he saw it that it was the first time he really saw himself. Thank you so much for that."

King, who also produces film and TV projects, pledged to hire equal numbers of women and men in all of her future projects. "I am making a vow, and it's going to be tough, to make sure that everything that I produce, that it is 50 percent women. And I just challenge anyone out there... who is in a position of power — not just in our industry, in all industries — I challenge you to challenge yourselves and stand with us in solidarity and do the same."

Beale Street didn't get more than a passing mention in the opening jokes by the hosts, Andy Samberg and Sandra Oh — not that the snub was necessarily a bad thing. Nearly all of the duo's bits fell flat, including a goofy call-out claiming Darren Criss was affiliated with Ruth's Chris Steak House.

There were a few surprises at the awards, including Bohemian Rhapsody taking home the award for Best Motion Picture, Drama, which many critics assumed would go to A Star Is Born. But overall, last night's Globes ceremony was a pretty subdued affair. Other highlights include Carol Burnett's acceptance of the new TV award named in her honor; a jaunty, politically wry acceptance speech from Christian Bale, who thanked Satan for inspiring his portrayal of Dick Cheney in Vice; and a tearful win for Glenn Close for her role in The Wife, who in her speech called out women's expected role as caretakers: "Women, we're nurturers. That's what's expected of us. We have our children. We have our husbands, if we're lucky enough, and our partners, whoever. But we have to find personal fulfillment. We have to follow our dreams."
