Plenty of winners teared up, including Froggatt, Rodriguez, and Tambor. But the evening’s emotional climax came during Michael Keaton’s victory for Best Actor in a Comedy Movie for "Birdman." The victory marked a comeback of sorts for the ’80s and ’90s star and the first Globe win for the 63-year-old actor. He gave a long but heartfelt speech recognizing his family. He announced his real name — Michael John Douglas — as if to pay tribute to his roots, and he paid profuse tribute to someone he called his "best friend": his son Sean. "Two things I said I wasn’t going to do," he said as he fought back tears, "cry and give air quotes. Damn."
