Hollywood toasted free speech in its myriad forms, from “Je Suis Charlie” tributes to George Clooney punchlines, at an earnest Golden Globes on Sunday, where the tender coming-of-age drama “Boyhood” topped all films. Richard Linklater’s 12-years-in-the-making movie was right on time at the Globes, winning the night’s top honor, best drama, as well as best director for Linklater and best supporting actress for Patricia Arquette. “Bottom line is we’re all flawed in this world. No one’s perfect,” said Linklater, accepting his directing Globe. “I want to dedicate this to parents that are evolving everywhere and families that are just passing through this world and doing their best.” The prevailing tone of the evening, coming shortly after the terrorist attack in Paris, was of sincerity. And the sweetly humanist “Boyhood” had a similarly touching effect on one of Hollywood’s glitziest evenings. Taking out her written speech, Arquette apologized: “I’m the only nerd with a piece of paper.” The night seemed to be setting up for the top two Oscar contenders — “Boyhood” and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s “Birdman” — to lead the Globes’ twin categories of drama and comedy. But in a major surprise, Wes Anderson’s “Grand Budapest Hotel” swooped in to win best picture, comedy or musical. Anderson listed a mock thank you to the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press, the collection of mostly freelance foreign journalists who put on the Globes, naming “Yorum and Dagmar and Yukiko and Mounawar.” The elegantly crafted backstage romp “Birdman” still came away with best actor in a comedy or musical for its lead, Michael Keaton, who plays a former superhero star mounting a serious play on Broadway, and best screenplay.
