Everything You Need To Know From The Golden Globe Awards

The 70th annual Golden Globes were the most well-received telecast in recent history.

With help from funny co-hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, the show— for the most part— went smoothly.

Highlights included Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrel as presenters, a drunk Glenn Close, Bill Clinton's surprise appearance and Ben Affleck cleaning up despite his Oscar's snub.

See who else made our list of most buzzworthy moments from Sunday's big show.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were hilarious hosts.

Some zingers from their opening monologue:

Poehler said she hasn't paid attention to the "Zero Dark Thirty" torture controversy, "But when it comes to torture, I trust the lady who spent three years married to James Cameron," referencing director Kathryn Bigelow. 

And discussing their Golden Globes looks, Fey joked, "The Hunger Games" isn't just a movie. It's what I call the six weeks it took me to get into this dress." Poehler perfectly followed up with, "Ang Lee's been nominated for 'Life of Pi' which is what I'm going to call the six weeks after I take this dress off!"

They then roasted everyone from Ben Affleck to Sarah Palin. Watch the opening monologue below:

Thanks to pal Steven Spielberg, Bill Clinton made a surprise appearance to introduce "Lincoln."

The former president took the stage to a standing ovation to present Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," one of the nominees for best motion picture drama.

While everyone seemed to be surprised by the 42nd president's presence, a source tells E! Online, "It was not a last-minute thing. It was in the works and came together about five days ago."

The idea for Clinton's secret appearance reportedly came from Steven Spielberg's camp, with the source adding, "Steven and Bill are quite close."

Clinton introduced the film by saying: "President Lincoln’s struggle to abolish slavery reminds us that enduring progress is forged in a cauldron of both principal and compromise. This brilliant film shows us how he did it and gives us hope that we can do it again."

Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig gave a hilarious introduction for Best Actress in a Comedy.

Many now even think they should be next year's hosts. It's a must-watch:
