Last night’s 74th annual Golden Globes marked Barack Obama’s final major event as President of the United States, as the First Family prepare to leave the White House on January 20.
So to mark the prestigious event, the president penned an inspirational letter thanking guests for their commitment to the arts. Hidden within the show programs, the touching note read:
"Michelle and I send greetings to all those attending the 74th annual Golden Globe Awards. Film and television have captured audiences for generations - transforming the art of storytelling and challenging our understanding of society. Using the big and small screens to bring diverse tales to life, actors and actresses and creative visionaries behind the scenes have inspired us to find deeper meaning in our shared humanity."
"Tonight's nominees have devoted their talents to helping us celebrate our triumphs and illustrate our flaws. By enabling us to see ourselves in each other and creating a space for the many narratives that reflect our rich and collective history, they remind us of the power and ideas and the ways they can shape our world for the better. As you gather to recognize this year's nominees, I wish you all the best for a memorable evening."
Obama has received overwhelming support from Hollywood’s biggest names during his eight years in presidency with many having attended his farewell party on Friday. Tom Hanks, George Clooney, Meryl Streep and Kerry Washington were just a few who joined Obama at the White House in celebrating his time in office.
And it seems the event was a huge success, as Obama was reportedly on the dance floor until the early hours of the morning. He deserves a party, right?
The Obamas will leave the White House on January 20, as president-elect Donald Trump will be sworn in for inauguration.
