It was a Globes ceremony on its best grown-up behavior. The outside world was more present than usual at this year’s show, with a few shout-outs of freedom-of-speech solidarity with the victims of last week’s deadly Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack in Paris.

In fact this year’s show seemed to work harder than ever to keep the traffic flowing and the loose ends from dangling.
