These are 5 of the best moments from the Golden Globes

The Golden Globes packed a lot in over the course of three hours — big wins for The Revenant, The Martian, and Mozart in the Jungle; an almost rumble between host Ricky Gervais and Mel Gibson; a standing ovation for Sylvester Stallone; Taraji P. Henson passing out cookies; a whole lot of cursing. Here are some of the other top moments from Sunday night:

Eva Longoria and America Ferrera teaching the Golden Globes a lesson

When the nominations were announced back in December, the Golden Globes mistakenly identified presenter America Ferrera — not once, but twice — as another Latina actress, Jane the Virgin's Gina Rodriguez. Not wanting to let the Hollywood Foreign Press Association off the hook, Ferrera and Eva Longoria humorously pointed out Sunday that Latina actresses are not interchangeable, and there are more than two or three out there.

The face Leonardo DiCaprio made when Lady Gaga ran into him

Lady Gaga was obviously very excited by her win (Best Actress in a Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television, for her role as the Countess in American Horror Story: Hotel), so excited in fact that she appeared to be in a trance as she made her way to the stage, running smack into Leonardo DiCaprio along the way. A startled DiCaprio made a weird face, and hundreds of GIFs were born.

Rachel Bloom's exuberant acceptance speech

Ricky Gervais may have said multiple times during the show that Golden Globe awards don't mean anything, but his jaded attitude didn't rub off on Rachel Bloom of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. After winning the award for Best Actress in a Television Series, Comedy or Musical, a super excited Bloom spilled about how difficult it was to get Crazy Ex-Girlfriend on the air (it was rejected six times) and praised those who made it happen. For the Hollywood vets it may be just an award, but for Bloom, it obviously meant something.

Denzel Washington's wife asking him if he needed his glasses

When it came time to accept the Cecil B. DeMille Award, recipient Denzel Washington brought his family up on stage with him for the honor. Looking at a tiny piece of paper, he rattled off the names of those who have helped him during his career, and became emotional when he brought up his parents. After a few moments of silence, his wife whispered something to him. "Yes, I do need my glasses!" he laughed. It was a sweet, unscripted moment, made even better by the fact that she, too, forgot her glasses.

Jamie Foxx pulling a Steve Harvey

Jamie Foxx was supposed to present the award for Best Original Score, but first had to get in a Steve Harvey joke. Instead of saying the real winner (Ennio Morricone for Hateful Eight), Foxx said the honor went to Straight Outta Compton, and then immediately went into Harvey mode. "I'm sorry folks, it's right here on the card," he said. "I take full responsibility. I apologize to everybody in Compton, I apologize to Ice Cube. I'm sorry." Foxx used the gag to bring attention to the fact that Straight Outta Compton was snubbed, but with that, let us all vow to stop using Harvey's blunder as a punch line, and let it die in peace (Steve Harvey's Flub, 2015-2016).
