CHICAGO – The best of 2014 in film and TV was celebrated at the 72nd Golden Globe Awards on January 11th, 2015. Co-hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, the first big and splashy awards ceremony of the season honored the films “Boyhood” (Drama) and “The Grand Budapest Hotel (Comedy), plus continued to recognize the current influence of online TV series by awarding honors to “Transparent” (Amazon Prime) and its lead actor, Jeffrey Tambor.

The Golden Globes are often the preview to the Oscars (February 22nd, 2015), and the favored supporting actor and actress, J.K. Simmons (“Whiplash”) and Patricia Arquette (“Boyhood”) took home Globes. Rounding out the acting awards – separated into comedy/musical and drama – were Michael Keaton (“Birdman”), Julianne Moore (“Still Alice”), Eddie Redmayne (“The Theory of Everything”) and Amy Adams (“Big Eyes”). The Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award honored George Clooney.
