The Golden Globes are halfway over, and we’re still full of burning questions: What stars will take most advantage of the open bar? How many “Heated Rivalry” jokes will be made? Will new CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil end the show with a monologue making it all about himself? Only time will tell, but for now, check out the night’s biggest snubs and surprises, updating live.
Surprise: Teyana Taylor wins best supporting actress over tight competition
While “Sentimental Value” star Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas was the pundit pick and Amy Madigan’s villainous turn in “Weapons” gained steam in the race, Taylor secured the Globes win for her explosive performance in “One Battle After Another.”

Surprise: Michelle Williams takes best actress in a TV series (limited), despite not attending the show
Sarah Snook’s turn in “All Her Fault” was predicted by award prognosticators as the winner in this starry category, which also included turns from Claire Danes, Rashida Jones, Amanda Seyfried and Robin Wright. Yet Williams’ performance as Molly Kochan in “Dying for Sex” landed her the Globe.
