Following their win and emotional acceptance speech during the 2015 Golden Globes telecast for Best Original Song "Glory" from SELMA, winners John Legend and Common headed over to Paramount Pictures Golden Globes Post Party at The Beverly Hilton. They posed with director Ava DuVernay, who didn't take home the Golden Globe for Best Director, but still considered the weekend a great success.
Ava posted her exicted on Instagram, saying,
"What a night! Family. Friends. Fun! Had an friggin ball! Thanks to my Pops for being such a perfect date to the #GoldenGlobes. And our cast and crew who came out to party and celebrate our baby, SELMA. To Common and Legend for writing the most beautiful song for our picture and taking home the gold! YESSSSSS! To the small village that pulled me together, including my dear long-time friend @damoneroberts, the hair whisperer @lovingyourhair, makeup maven Uzo, stylists W+M, designer Zac Posen, gems by Henri Sillam. But, most especially to the thousands and thousands of folks who paid hard earned money to see SELMA nationwide on opening weekend. Who gets opening weekend and Globes weekend on the SAME weekend! Hav' mercy! So happy this morning. So grateful. All praises due. xo!"
In addition to their Hollywood celebration, the cast also raised their glasses to a great showing at the box office. The film earned $11.2 million and finished at #2 over the weekend.
John toasted to his big win with his wife Chrissy Teigen.
And Ava gave Common's award a quick kiss.
Oprah, who co-starred in SELMA and served as one of its producers, was also at the party celebrating with the cast.
She posed with SELMA star David Oyelowo, whom she first met on the set of The Butler.
David, who plays Dr. Martin Luther King in the film, is getting some serious Oscar buzz for his role.
Carmen Ejogo, who stars as Civil Rights activist, Coretta Scott King, looked amazing on the red carpet.
