There was no shortage of love for Canadians during the 75th annual Golden Globe Awards on Sunday.
Here are a few of the moments that made Canadians proud.
Moss dedicates win to Margaret Atwood
Elisabeth Moss dedicated her Golden Globe Award win to Canadian literary legend Margaret Atwood.
The Los Angeles-born star won the best actress in a television drama category for her role in âThe Handmaid's Tale,â an adaptation of Atwoodâs best-selling novel.
In her acceptance speech at the 75th annual Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, Moss read a quote from the Canadian authorâs 1985 novel.
âWe were the people who were not in the papers. We lived in the blank white spaces at the edge of print. It gave us more freedom. We lived in the gaps between the stories,â Moss said.
âMargaret Atwood, this is for you and all of the women who came before you, and after you, who were brave enough to speak out against intolerance and injustice and to fight for equality and freedom in this world," Moss added.
âWe no longer live in the blank white spaces at the edge of print,â Moss went on. âWe no longer live in the gaps between the stories. We are the stories in print. And we are writing the story ourselves.â

Hollywood A-listers Nicole Kidman and Laura Dern lauded Montreal-born director Jean-Marc Vallee for his work on the HBO series âBig Little Lies.â

Christopher Plummer wears Order of Canada pin
Eagle-eyed Canadian viewers were quick to point out that Toronto-born actor Christopher Plummer was sporting his Order of Canada pin during Sundayâs ceremony.
The accessory grabbed the attention of a number of Canadian Twitter users who offered âkudosâ and called
him a âclass act.â
Kudos to Christopher Plummer for wearing his Order of Canada pin at the Globes.

Plummer was nominated in the best performance by an actor in a supporting role in a motion picture category for his role in âAll the Money in the World.â
He replaced Kevin Spacey in the Ridley Scott film after sexual misconduct allegations involving the âHouse of Cardsâ star surfaced in late 2017. The film is based on John Pearsonâs 1995 book titled âPainfully Rich: The Outrageous Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Heirs."
Plummer lost in the category to Sam Rockwell in "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri."
Plummer became a Companion of the Order of Canada in 1968. He also has a star of Canadaâs Walk of Fame in his native city.
