Golden Globes 2017: 7 Ups & 6 Downs

5. SpideyPool (And Gosling's Speech)

Golden Globes 2017 Ryan Reynolds Andrew Garfield Kiss
NBC

Ryan Gosling managed to beat off competition from fellow charming Canadian actor also named Ryan, Reynolds, to nab the Best Actor - Musical or Comedy award, but it was his rival who ended up stealing the moment.

While Gosling went up to collect his award, Reynolds and fellow nominee Andrew Garfield randomly decided to kiss, giving us perhaps the most gif'd moment of the entire ceremony, and comic book fans a nice SpideyPool moment (the two characters have a fair amount of history together, and are the subject of a lot of fanfic).

Not to be entirely outdone, however, Gosling made a joke about being mistaken for Reynolds, and then went on to give a lovely, heartfelt speech about his partner Eva Mendes, who was not only taking care of their child while he was working on La La Land, but also pregnant with their second, and taking care of her brother who has cancer.
