Swift, Redmayne and Cumberbatch make it big at the Golden Globes

Award winners and other top celebrities drank and danced the night away following the 72nd Annual Golden Globes on Sunday night.

The 72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night were filled with surprises, as Amazon and Netflix beat dominant broadcast networks ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox in honors and suggested that a television revolution may have quietly taken place over the past year. However, the Golden Globe after-parties seemingly went just as they always do, with USA Today reporting that each party was filled with big name celebrities, their dates, a lot of alcohol, and some interesting pairings on the dance floor.

Taylor Swift was the star of the InStyle and Warner Bros. after-party, as the 25-year-old singer and Giver actress danced to the party’s mixture of hits from the ’90s and 2000s for several hours. She and her friends Lorde and Jaime King positioned themselves right in front of the DJ booth, making it difficult to consider anyone else the center of attention. Fans tried taking a picture of the singer on the dance floor, but her security team and entourage used their hands to block any camera phones that were pointed in her direction. Fans quickly shifted their attention to best-actor winner Eddie Redmayne and 50 Shades of Grey star Jamie Dornan, who made an appearance together at the party’s VIP section. Celebrity stylist Brad Goreski also made an appearance at the party, and told USA Today that he’s too excited to be nervous about his Monday night debut on Fashion Police.

“I’m super excited! There’s so much to talk about, so much to break down,” said Goreski. “I can’t wait to hear what Giuliana (Rancic) and Kelly (Osbourne) and Kathy (Griffin) have to say. I think there’s going to be a lot of battling back and forth and differing opinions. I have to go home and get my beauty sleep.”

Benedict Cumberbatch was the focal point of the Weinstein Co. and Netflix after-party, since he spent the evening on a couch with his pregnant fiancée, Sophie Hunter. Fans of Cumberbatch expressed their outrage last month when the Sherlock star announced his engagement, but the couple made it hard not to love them as they refused to let go of each other’s hand for several hours. Jeffrey Tambor, who won a best-actor Golden Globe for his Amazon Prime show Transparent, danced his way into the party and happily announced that a season two of the series will definitely be happening. Backstage at the award ceremony, Tambor admitted that his trophy meant much more than a typical Hollywood honor, since it was for his portrayal of a 70-year-old coming out as transgender.

“This is about changing people’s lives,” said Tambor after accepting his award and dedicating it to the transgender community.

The Weinstein Co. and Netflix after-party was also filled with dancing celebrities, as Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum danced to Beyonce’s ‘Single Ladies,’ Orange is the New Black stars Danielle Brooks and Taryn Manning danced to Madonna, and Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger were seen rocking out to ‘Ain’t No Stopping Us Now.’ Saturday Night Live star Kristen Wiig and supermodel Cara Delivingne made for an interesting pairing as they sang along to Blackstreet’s ‘No Diggity’ together.

USA Today noted that one of the highlights of the Fox after-party was seeing Edward Norton and Mark Ruffalo conversing together at the same VIP section, since Ruffalo was Norton’s replacement in Marvel’s Incredible Hulk franchise. Globe nominee David Oyelowo and winner Ruth Wilson kept fans happy at the HBO party and stopped for their countless selfie photo requests throughout the evening.  Since HBO said the event was “black tie optional,” EDM DJ Avicii and his crew turned heads in their casual attire of leather jackets and jeans.

Eddie Redmayne was unsurprisingly the main attraction at the NBC Universal and Focus party, thanks to the Theory of Everything star’s best actor win. There, he and his co-star Felicity Jones gave their director James Marsh a minute-long hug, though Redmayne refused to let go of his trophy.

“I just love those guys so much. We’re such a beautiful team, the three of us,” said Jones, minutes later. “We’re trying to enjoy this all. It doesn’t happen every day… It’s been so fantastic here. Such a great night.”
