Seth Meyers, hosting the Globes for the first time, turned directly to what he called “the elephant not in the room” when he opened the NBC broadcast by saying, “Good evening, ladies and remaining gentlemen.”

He later said of Weinstein, “Don’t worry, he’ll be back in 20 years when he’s the first person booed during the ‘In Memoriam’ segment.”

The 2018 Globes were draped in black, quite literally, with actresses and some actors vowing to use their attire to make a statement about sexual harassment in Hollywood and other spheres.

Oprah Winfrey sent a jolt through the audience when she received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement.

“A new day is on the horizon!” Winfrey shouted toward the end of her speech, which touched on the importance of diversity in Hollywood but focused mostly on the #MeToo movement.

After Winfrey exited the stage, Natalie Portman arrived to present best director. “Here are the all-male nominees,” Portman said. (Guillermo del Toro won for “The Shape of Water.”)

“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” won four Globes, including best drama, becoming the film to beat in the coming Oscar race.

The foreign journalists who bestow the Globes are known for spreading their awards far and wide, and that was the case on Sunday, with “Lady Bird” receiving two trophies (best comedy and best actress in a comedy, for Saoirse Ronan), and “The Shape of Water” honored in two categories (best director, best score). Gary Oldman won best actor in a drama, for playing Winston Churchill in “the Darkest Hour.” “Coco” was named best animated film. And “I, Tonya” was recognized with Allison Janney’s win for best supporting actress.

James Franco won best actor in a comedy for “The Disaster Artist,” a biopic about Tommy Wiseau, a Hollywood figure best known for his cult film “The Room.”

The night’s first award went to Nicole Kidman, who won best actress in a television movie or limited series. Kidman won for her role in the HBO series “Big Little Lies.”

Hulu’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel about the repression of women, “The Handmaid’s Tale,” was honored as best drama.
