The Best (& Worst) Political Statements At The Golden Globes

We mean, he tried. After winning his first Golden Globe for his role in The Night Manager, Tom Hiddleston gave a long-winded and kind of confusing rundown of the crisis happening in South Sudan. During his speech, which came across as a bit self-righteous, he humble-bragged about his work with UNICEF and then patted himself on the back for acting in a show that provides "some relief and entertainment for people … who are fixing the world in the places where it is broken." These Twitter reactions say it all:
