The 72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards were off to a smashing start, thanks to co-hosts Amy Poehler and Tina Fey.

No one was safe from the hilarious duo as they roasted the biggest names of the night, proving that the third time is definitely the charm when it comes to their crazy antics.

In fact, the Saturday Night Live alums slammed everyone from Bill Cosby to Joaquin Phoenix and then some.

J.K. Simmons took home the first award of the night for Best Supporting Actor in Whiplash, and was presented the honor by Jennifer Aniston and Benedict Cumberbatch. Not bad!

Next up was Downton Abbey star Joanne Froggatt, who won for Best Supporting Actress in a TV Series, Miniseries, or TV Movie, shortly followed by Billy Bob Thornton for his Fargo performance. Thornton kept his acceptance speech super short because he didn't want to "get into trouble."

And speaking of getting into trouble, Jeremy Renner certainly has a lot of explaining to do when he co-presented with Jennifer Lopez and commented on her "globes." Watch it!

J.Lo played the joke off like a true professional and jokingly smacked him with an envelope afterwards.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association then awarded Best Actress in TV Series, Musical or Comedy to none other than Gina Rodriguez from Jane the Virgin.

This marks her first nomination for her new hit CW show.

The breathless star took the stage and thanked God for making her "an artist" as well as her family and friends for supporting her along the way.

Following her teary-eyed speech, Amazon's Transparent was honored for Best TV Series Comedy or Musical.

Jeffrey Tambor, the star of the site's first series, took the stage along with the show's creators and fellow cast members.

Prince presented the award for Best Original Song, Motion Picture to Common and John Legend's "Glory" for the film Selma.

Matt Bomer won for his work in The Normal Heart and told his family from the stage, "Thank you for putting up with me when I was 130 pounds and really grumpy."

Then, for Best Supporting Actress in a Musical or Comedy, Amy Adams won for her work in Big Eyes. Adams also won last year for her work in David O. Russell's American Hustle.

The next Golden Globe went to How to Train a Dragon 2, which took home the honors for Best Animated Feature Film tonight.

Patricia Arquette won the big award of the night for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for her performance in Boyhood.

Birdman won for the Best Screenplay, while Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical Series went to Jeffrey Tambor for Transparent.

Maggie Gyllenhaal won for her work in The Honorable Woman under the Best Actress, Miniseries or Movie category.

With over an hour left of the awards show, the Golden Globe went to Showtime's The Affair for Best TV Series, Drama.

Kevin Spacey also went home a winner for his work on Netflix's House of Cards.

George Clooney took the stage to accept the incredible honor of the Cecil B. DeMille Award.

The A-lister gushed about "finding someone to love" and said that he was "humbled" after waiting his whole life to find his partner, Amal Clooney.

And the awards just kept on comin'!

Next up to accept their stunning statue was—drumroll—Ruth Wilson for Best Actress in a TV Series Drama in The Affair.

Richard Linklater was named the Best Director for his film, Boyhood, which nearly brought the audience to their feet in applause.

Michael Keaton was then awarded the Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical for his stellar work on Birdman.

The actor thanked his son, family, co-stars and crew and teared up towards the end of his heartfelt speech. He also joked that did two things he swore he wouldn't do if he had the chance to accept his award: air quote and cry. Well, sometimes the emotions just take over!

Julianne Moore couldn't hide back her excitement after learning that she had won for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama for her work in Still Alice. 

Gwyneth Paltrow presented the award to Eddie Redmayne for Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama for his astounding performance in The Theory of Everything.

Arguably the biggest awards of the night went to The Grand Budapest Hotel, for Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy, and Boyhood, for Best Motion Picture, Drama.

Congratulations to all the nominees and winners this evening!
