It's an event usually known for it's colourful mix of gowns and frocks, but today the Golden Globes red carpet was about wearing black, welcoming special guests and calling out the gender pay gap.
Earlier, stars including Jessica Chastain, Emma Stone, Meryl Streep, The Rock and Tom Hiddleston announced their plans to wear black as a protest against harassment in Hollywood.
And, it seemed to lead the way, with most red carpet attendees wearing black.
Here's a look at what unfolded on the red carpet.
Meryl Streep and Ai-jen Poo
Actress Meryl Streep attended the Globes with National Domestic Workers Alliance director and award-winning activist Ai-jen Poo.
She's also the co-director of Caring Across Generations, a coalition of advocacy groups wanting to transform the long-term care system in the United States.
She told E! News she was wearing black in solidarity to the cause, and said sexual harassment was in every industry.
"It's everywhere," she said.
"And we want to fix that and we feel sort of emboldened to stand together in a thick black line."
Michelle Williams and #MeToo movement leader Tarana Burke
Actress Michelle Williams brought with her the founder of the #MeToo movement Tarana Burke.
"We're here because Tarana started a movement," Williams said.
"We actually have the opportunity to hand our children a different world.
"I have tears in my eyes and a smile on my face."
Ms Burke said it was exciting to be a part of the Globes.
"This is something that I started out of necessity," Ms Burke said.
"I never could have envisioned it growing like this.
"It's really powerful to be on the red carpet."

Men showed their support with 'Time's Up' badges
Justin Timberlake — who attended the awards with his wife, actress Jessica Biel — was among dozens of men wearing the badge.
The Time's Up campaign was founded this year in response to the #MeToo campaign.
It's a "unified call for change from woman in entertainment everywhere".
"From movie sets to farm fields to boardrooms alike, we envision nationwide leadership that reflects the world in which we live."
Those who wore badges included Jude Law, Ewan McGregor, Ryan Seacrest, William H. Macy, Joseph Fiennes and Joe and Nick Jonas.
Debra Messing called out the gender pay gap
Actress Debra Messing made waves during an E! News interview where she called out the network for pay inequality.
"I was so shocked to hear that E! doesn't believe in paying their female co-host the same as their male co-host," she said to host Giuliana Rancic.
"I miss Catt Sadler, so we stand with her.
"And that's something that can change tomorrow."
She told E! News she wanted to see 50-50 by 20-20, 50 per cent male and female equality in Hollywood by the year 2020.
"Time is up," she said.
"We want diversity."
