This GIF pretty much sums up the 2013 Golden Globes. Enjoy.
This year's Golden Globe Awards will definitely rank amongst the best ever, thanks mostly to the hilarious host Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. But more on them later. Here are the greatest moments from this year's ceremony:
5. Adele Wins Best Original Song for "Skyfall"
She ruled 2011 and 2012, and it seems her reign isn't letting up in 2013. Adele made her huge public return at this year's Globes, and surprised no one (except maybe Taylor Swift) when she won the award for Best Original Song for her hit "Skyfall" from the Bond movie of the same name. Ever humorous and humble, Adele admitted she was expecting to just be there for the party as she accepted her speech. Oscar glory is all but guaranteed for her come next month.
4. Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig Present Best Actress
Last night was filled with laughs, but the most side-splitting moment by far came from Bridesmaids star Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell, who presented the award for the Best Actress - Comedy or Musical. The two played a hilarious skit where they try to describe the performances that they haven't seen, with absolutely outrageous results. If this was their audition for the Golden Globes 2014, then they can take it.
3. Ben Affleck Wins Two Golden Globes and Gets Back at the Oscars for Snubbing Him
Many people were surprised to learn that Ben Affleck (and Katheryn Bigelow, for that matter) did not receive a Best Director nod from the Academy Awards. Well it seems the AMPAS (Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences) has some explaining to do, after Ben Affleck not only won Best Director for his critically lauded film Argo, he took home Best Picture as well. Ben, who admitted to be in recovery mode following the mess that was "Bennifer", seemed stunned when he picked up his Best Director trophy, pipping frontrunner Steven Spielberg and his film Lincoln. With this huge double whammy from the Hollywood Foreign Press, Argo is firmly set as a frontrunner in this hotly-contested Oscar season.
2. Jodie Foster. Enough Said.
I wasn't expecting much from Jodie Foster when they announced she was receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award. That was a mistake. Huge mistake. The actress, who has logged nearly five decades worth of performances, delivered one of the most unbelievable speeches in the history of entertainment. Part-retrospective, part-coming out, part-diatribe on privacy in Hollywood, part-tribute to her mother, and part-retirement declaration, Foster left everyone either laughing, crying, or just speechless in her acceptance. While proclamations that it was the best speech ever might be taking it too far, Jodie Foster's speech will certainly go down as the most memorable in Golden Globes history.
1. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Need To Host Every Awards Show
From start to finish, comediennes Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were absolutely brilliant, so much so that I wished we got to see more of them during the three hour telecast. There were just so many hilarious moments, from their dragging James Cameron and James Franco within minutes of each other, to their dig at Taylor Swift and her serial dating, to their drinking after losing the Golden Globe to Girls star Lena Dunham, to their trolling of the presenters as fake nominees, I can't possibly see why those two shouldn't remain as host for the foreseeable future. Oscar host Seth McFarlane has his work cut out for him.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are absolutely the best, I can't get enough of them too! I've never enjoyed Golden Globe this much. And Tinay looked absolutely that night wearing her black and white L'Wren Scott tea length gown with a matching simple diamond drop earrings.
