Jodie Foster's coming out/retirement speech wasn't the only surprise during Sunday's Golden Globes awards. While Daniel Day-Lewis won the best actor award for drama for Lincoln, the film penned by gay writer Tony Kushner was largely shut out of the awards. And that's even after a surprise appearance from former President Bill Clinton, who introduced the film, which was nominated for the motion picture award.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler got high marks for their co-hosting gig. The duo inhabited a series of costumes as faux nominees and after Clinton received a standing ovation Poehler gushed, "Wow, what a special guest. That was Hillary Clinton's husband."

Among the award winners:

Director, Motion Picture: Ben Affleck, Argo

Actor in Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical: Hugh Jackman, Les Miserables

Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical: Les Miserables

Actor in Motion Picture, Drama: Daniel Day-Lewis, Lincoln (Day-Lewis said living every day without the wealth of language from Kushner reminds him of the impoverishment of his own. Lewis has had LGBT fans since his early role as a gay man in My Beautiful Laundrette.)

Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama: Christoph Waltz, Django Unchained

Supporting Actress in a Series, Miniseries or TV Movie: Maggie Smith, Downton Abbey
