With loved ones and pets, Globes winners embrace cozier show

Instead, most of Sunday night’s winners accepted from their own homes or hotel rooms in laidback settings unheard of for Hollywood's biggest awards shows. Friends watching on television downstairs raised a delayed shout when she was announced as the winner for supporting actress in a motion picture drama. “It was really fun,” said Aaron Sorkin, winner for motion picture screenplay.

Sarah Paulson held her little black pooch on screen and Emma Corrin's fluffy white cat grabbed a moment for itself.
