The only thing that would have made this year’s 70th Golden Globe Awards better is if Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were on screen more. Be what it may, there is no doubt the hosts for the evening killed it in every moment they did have on screen. From one of the best opening monologues, to the fake nominee Damien Francisco, to the rant toward Lena Dunham after losing best actress in a TV comedy, these two comics hit the right spot. They weren’t as cruel as Ricky Gervais but were able to be incredibly entertaining.

There is no doubt that Seth MacFarlane will feel the pressure to be just as good, or better, at this year’s Oscars as Fey and Poehler have, easily, become my favorite awards host, ever. Well, since I’ve been around awards shows. And to think, they did this with barely singing!

Though they were the highlight of the evening for me, Fey and Poehler were not the only worth-watching part of the Globes this year, and here are my five best moments from this year’s award.

5. Adele, Jennifer Lawrence and Ben Affleck’s acceptance speeches. All three of these first time winners were incredibly grateful, funny and charming. Adele went up while high-fiving James Bond, I mean Daniel Craig. She said the word pissing referring to laughing throughout the show and she won our hearts all over again. Lawrence cracked several jokes including beating Meryl Streep and thanking Harvey Weinstein for killing whomever he had to kill for her to win. Both are class acts. And to top it off, Affleck won the award for a category he isn’t even nominated for at this year’s Oscars. His speech was eloquent, excited and grateful. It also included a standing ovation from the audience. Not to mention, “Argo” was my favorite film and it won Best Picture, a cherry on top of his winning night.

4. Bill Clinton. Before presenting nominee “Lincoln,” Clinton came out to present the film and talk about Lincoln as a president. What made this moment way better is Amy Poehler came out after and said, “That was Hillary Clinton’s husband!” in true Leslie Knope fashion.

3. Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell as presenters. What must have been a completely improvised act, these two SNL alums knew exactly what they were doing. While announcing the award for Best Actress in a Comedy, the two just talked off the books about what “happened” in the movie, when really they had no idea. There really isn’t any quality way to describe what they did, so just go watch it on YouTube, because it was hilarious.

2. Best Actress in a TV Comedy. While naming the nominees Fey and Poehler made sure they were not sitting alone. Instead Fey sat next to Jennifer Lopez and even better, Poehler sat on George Clooney’s lap. Then after losing, both were on the stage with a glass of alcohol ranting.

1. Opening monologue. Nothing really topped the opening minutes of the show that including jokes at James Cameron, Ricky Gervais and James Franco’s hosting gig at the Oscars. One of my favorites included: “Meryl Streep is not here tonight. She has the flu — and I hear she’s amazing in it.” Because really, who doesn’t love a Meryl Streep joke?

Thank you Tina and Amy for a great night and I hope you had a good time with Jodie Foster.
