Playing an artist let Amy Adams showcase her own award-winning artistry.
The Big Eyes star won for best actress in a comedy or musical at the Golden Globes Sunday for playing Margaret Keane, a woman whom Adams said "had such a quiet voice and such a strong heart and such a strong artistic vision and was ultimately able to use her voice."
Adams also paid homage to the other actresses in the audience who are role models for her 4-year-old. "You speak to her so loudly. She watches everything and sees everything and I am so grateful for all of you women in this room who have such a lovely beautiful voice and are speaking to my daughter."
Patricia Arquette's underappreciated single mother in Boyhood was honored with a supporting actress award. Arquette thanked her "visionary" director Richard Linklater "for allowing me to be part of something so human, so simple and groundbreaking and significant in the history of cinema" and "for shining a light on this woman and the many women like her and for allowing me to honor my own mother with this incredible character."
Gina Rodriguez won best actress in a comedy for her title role in the CW's first-year Latino-centric series Jane the Virgin.
"Thank you God for making me an artist," Rodriguez said. "This award is so much more than myself. It represents a culture that wants to see itself as heroes."
Transparent is the first streaming series for Amazon to win a Golden Globe, taking the honor for best comedy series. Creator Jill Solloway dedicated the award to "the trans community" and said she wanted the show to teach the audience about "truth, authenticity and love."
J.K. Simmons garnered a supporting actor honor for his sadistic jazz teacher in the movie Whiplash, and thanked both of the "boy wonders" involved: writer-director Damien Chazelle and co-star Miles Teller.
Teller "is a young actor of such maturity and brilliance. He inspired me every day to scream at him and hit him in the face," Simmons said in his acceptance speech.
Fargo conquered the TV miniseries category and star Billy Bob Thornton won for best actor in a miniseries.
"These days you get in a lot of trouble no matter what you say," Thornton deadpanned. "You could say anything and get in trouble. I know that for a fact. So I'm just going to say thank you."
The Normal Heart's Matt Bomer won for supporting actor in a TV miniseries or movie. He honored both his co-star Mark Ruffalo "the heart and soul of the movie" — and those who died or are still suffering from AIDS: "We love you and remember you."
Downton Abbey star Joanne Froggatt earned an award for supporting actress in a TV miniseries. She recalled hearing from many fans for a story line this past season that involved a rape of her character. In one letter, Froggatt said, "the writer wasn't sure why she'd written but she wanted to be heard."
The Theory of Everything composer Jóhann Jóhannsson won for best original score, and musicians Common and John Legend accepted the original song award for Selma.
Common called Selma director Ava DuVernay a "superhero" when accepting the award.
"The first day I stepped on the set of Selma I began to feel that this was bigger than a movie," he said. "I realized I am the hopeful black woman who was denied her right to vote. I am the caring white supporter killed on the front lines of freedom. I am the unarmed black kid who maybe needed a hand but was instead given a bullet. I am the two fallen police officers murdered in the line of duty, and Selma has awakened my humanity."
The sequel How to Train Your Dragon 2 took home the award for best animated feature.
The Michael Keaton drama Birdman leads all movies with seven nominations and HBO heads the TV competition with 15 nominations.
