Viola Davis was the recipient of Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes, which was presented at a different ceremony. While I would have liked to see Viola get her flowers last night, her speech was phenomenal and much longer than she would have been given at the main event. She talked about her childhood in poverty, and about her love of the craft and how she inhabited those characters that no one cared about. It was fascinating to watch and made me cry, like so many of her performances. Plus I came away feeling so inspired. Do yourself a favor and watch her speech, I’m embedding it below. (Her gown is custom Dior.)
The lovely Salma Hayek was also in Gucci. She was a bombshell in this burgundy gown. I’m sorry for this goofy photo of her, but as I’m writing this it’s the only downloadable one. I’m also including a better image from Getty. Look at her emerald necklace damn! Kaiser wrote on Twitter that it’s likely Salma was there to support Angelina Jolie, as Salma wasn’t a presenter and she wasn’t nominated this year. Salma is so fun.
Kirsten Dunst was there with her husband, Jesse Plemmons, who was nominated for Best Actor for Kinds of Kindness. That category went to Sebastian Stan for A Better Man. Kirsten wore a black Gucci dress with an open back and sides. It’s a great gown for a plus one.
Eiza Gonzalez was in custom gold Gucci, in a gown that’s quite similar to Kirsten Dunst’s. She always brings it and I love her hair.

Salma Hayek – dang. That woman is 58 years old. Even if she was 38 I would say that she looks fantastic. She doesn’t “look good for her age” she just looks amazing!!
Salma hayek looks amazing. I feel like a lot of her red carpet looks are similar but it works for her so who cares? That necklace though…..just the cherry on top.
Kirsten Dunst also looks great. I think she did well for a “plus one” (lol at KD being a plus one) – its all black but the cut and the different fabrics keeps it from being just another long black dress.
And Viola Davis’ dress is just amazing. absolutely love it.
I think it’s bullshit that the Cecil B. DeMille award is not televised. When did that begin because I’ve always seen the presentation and speech live for years. Trashy move by the Globes.
Salma actually did present last night. And Sebastian Susan won for A Different Man, not A Better Man.
*Sebastian Stan
Salma presented with Colman Domingo. Who deserves his own post! He always peacocks it and he’s one of the hosts of the MET gala this year with that theme. Sebastian stan also went for a different look (good) as did Jeremy Strong (umm…). Justice for the men. 😆
Salma is aging in reverse, and I love her gown.
Viola is everything!!!
