The Golden Globe Awards were held last night, and whether you're a casual viewer or pop culture junkie, there are probably a few questions you had about the show!
We here at toofab have the answers to all your burning questions, including which films you can see Michael Fassbender naked, the identity of that darling dog and where Ryan Gosling was.
Check them out, below!
10. Why was Brad Pitt walking with a cane?
Brad's injury is old news (read = a week old) in Hollywood, but the "Moneyball" star injured his ACL while with his daughter. "I was carrying my daughter [Vivienne] down the hill and I slipped," the 48-year-old actor told reporters at the Palm Springs Film Festival two weekends ago. "It was either her or me."
9. What was going on with Zooey Deschanel's hair?
One of the mysteries of the night was the "New Girl" star's new hair, which featured blunt bangs and swept sideburns. We can only chalk it up to the quirky actress' personal style -- this is a girl who painted little tuxedos on her nails for the evening too.
8. Why was Madonna wearing gloves and a cross?
There's been much speculation has about Madonna’s glove fetish -- she's been spotted covering her mitts during most of her recent public appearances. While there is no definitive answer for this, there are several photos on the internet showing some vein-y, scary hands that are probably due to a lot of exercise and a very low-fat diet. Seriously, google them … if you dare.
As for the cross, Lady M was raised Roman Catholic and caused controversy with her use of religious images in her "Like a Prayer" video -- but then started studying the Jewish mysticism Kabbalah (including wearing the trademark red bracelet) in the late 90s. So is she Catholic or Jewish? Your guess is as good as ours.
7. How old are presenters Elle Macpherson and Jane Fonda?
Forget the old adage that women in Hollywood aren't as hot as they age -- two of the best looking ladies at the show on Sunday night were well over 40!
Six-foot-tall Australian stunner Elle Macpherson will turn 48-years-old in March. The former supermodel constantly reminds us that she was known as “The Body” for a reason. Even more impressively, the legendary actress and activist Jane Fonda just turned 74 in December! Way to show the world how to age gracefully, ladies!
6. Just where do Spanish speakers Antonio Banderas and Sofia Vergara hail from?
One of the best gags of the evening involved Antonio Banderas and Sofia Vergara joking around in Spanish (it was a Hollywood Foreign Press Association event, after all).
For the record, Antonio is Spanish (born in Andalucia) and Sofia is Colombian (born in Barranquilla). Despite joking she didn't "understand a word" Antonio said, fellow presenter Salma Hayek speaks Spanish fluently; she was born in Veracruz, Mexico.
5. What did Meryl Streep say to get herself bleeped?
Upon accepting her Best Actress award for "The Iron Lady," Meryl realized she forgot her eyewear and uttered, "Oh s--- my glasses, I forgot my glasses, now I have to remember my speech." While she fumbled on stage, Harvey Weinstein passed the pair over to George Clooney, who handed them over to David Fincher. Unfortunately, David Fincher didn't find the right time to give them to her. Hopefully she retrieved them after the show!
4. In which films can you see Michael Fassbender nude?
George Clooney sent the internet into a frenzy when, during his Best Actor acceptance speech for "The Descendants," he called out fellow nominee Michael Fassbender’s nude scene(s). "I would like to thank Michael Fassbender for taking over the frontal-nudity responsibility that I had," George joked. “Really Michael, honestly, you can play golf like this with your hands behind your back.”
Clooney was referring to the 34-year-old baring it all as a sex-addict in the gritty, NC-17 rated film “Shame” … though it wasn’t Michael’s first foray into full-frontal territory. The German native also went nude in 2008’s “Hunger.”
3. Who was that adorable dog that took the stage?
He was easily the cutest attendee at the Globes … Uggie! The 9-year-old Jack Russell Terrier stole the show posing on the red carpet, performing tricks on stage during the acceptance speech for “The Artist,” and hamming it up in the press room with the Globe trophy.
The little guy, who was reportedly saved from being sent to a dog pound, starred in several commercials before getting his big break alongside Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson in “Water for Elephants,” then stealing all of his scenes in “The Artist.”
2. Who was the man Peter Dinklage mentioned in his acceptance speech?
During his Best Actor in a Supporting Role acceptance speech, "Game of Thrones" star Peter Dinklage made reference to Martin Henderson, a 37-year-old British man who was partially paralyzed last fall when he was thrown in an apparent “dwarf tossing” incident outside of a bar in London.
"I guess I was an easy target and the only reason I was picked on was because I am small,” Henderson told London’s Telegraph newspaper. Martin’s story definitely seemed to hit home for Peter, who also suffers from dwarfism and stands 4’5” tall.
1. Where was double nominee Ryan Gosling?
Double nominee Ryan Gosling was noticeably absent during the awards show. The Hollywood heartthrob is reportedly in Thailand working on a film, much to his "The Ides of March" costar George Clooney's relief. "It's too bad he's not here. I wish he was. But if he showed up he might just be too good-looking to handle," George said on the red carpet.
