9 great behind-the-scene moments from the 2014 Golden Globes

Not all great moments during the 71st Golden Globe Awards, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California on Sunday, January 12 (Monday morning in the Philippines) happened onstage and on air.

Here are some behind-the-scene moments of some of Hollywood's biggest stars at the 2014 Golden Globes.

GUESS WHERE I AM

Just like everybody else, Hollywood's biggest stars can't resist pulling out their smartphones and letting the world know when they're somewhere special.

At times during the Golden Globes it looked as if more heads were bowed over those phones than talking to tablemates or watching the show.

Just a few of those who were busily typing away: Kevin Spacey, Liev Schreiber and Amy Adams. - Lynn Elber

REPORT FROM THE SMOKING PATIO

The patio outside the International Ballroom at the Golden Globes is as star-studded as the room inside.

When Globes celebrants need fresh air — or nicotine-tinged air — they head straight there.

"12 Years A Slave" co-stars Michael Fassbender and Sarah Paulson dropped by to share a smoke and a laugh with actress Emma Roberts.

Elisabeth Moss juggled a cigarette in one hand and her Golden Globe for best actress in a miniseries or movie in the other.

Kate Beckinsale shared a smoke with Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi, whose movie "The Past" was nominated in the foreign language category. - Sandy Cohen

ALL IN THE GOLDEN GLOBES FAMILY

Bruce Dern, enjoying a career renaissance at 77, made the Golden Globes a family affair this year.

The best actor nominee was accompanied to the awards show by his daughter, Laura Dern, a former Globe winner herself and also the event's Miss Golden Globe when she was a teenager.

"It's a thrill to have her with me," the elder Dern said. "She's been doing it since she was 9 years old. She's one of those kids who just got it immediately, and as an actress, she's not afraid to look you in the eye."

This year she was busy introducing her father to such celebrity friends as "Girls" star Lena Dunham, "American Hustle" director David O. Russell and "Gravity" director Alfonso Cuaron.

"It's really an honor to celebrate him," she said.

Another veteran actor back in the spotlight was Robert Redford, a nominee for the film "All Is Lost."

Redford, accompanied by his wife, Sibylle Szaggars, indicated he can get along fine without the attention.

"I like nature," he replied when asked how he liked being back in Hollywood. - Beth Harris

BOTTOM OF THE 9TH FOR DAVID O. RUSSELL

Director David O. Russell, a die-hard baseball fan, likens awards show season to his favorite sport.

"It is a blessing if you're even in the game," he said before Sunday's Golden Globe awards. "You do have to get through every inning. This is an important inning. Anything can happen, you just have to believe in your picture from the heart."

As a big New York Yankees fan, the "American Hustle" director said he was saddened to see Alex Rodriguez banned from baseball for a year over allegations involving performance-enhancing drugs.

"I'm glad they finally got steroids out of cinema," he joked.

"Alfonso Cuaron was juicing this season," he said of his fellow director, nominated for the film "Gravity."

"It's obvious if you've seen 'Gravity,'" Russell added. - Beth Harris

STREEP, THOMPSON EXCHANGE ACTING TIPS

Meryl Streep and Emma Thompson each could give a master class in acting.

But as the pair chatted and held hands during a break in the Golden Globes show, Thompson had a different tip to offer.

"Slim," she told Streep, striking a pose and pretending to pull her already flat tummy in.

Streep let out a knowing laugh. - Lynn Elber

WHERE'S THE BEEF?

Most of the guests you see on TV at the Golden Globes are hungry — and not just for awards.

Never mind the food sacrifices made for fashion and those body-hugging dresses. Although the Globes is ostensibly a dinner party, the waiters remove all the meals before the curtain rises. Get there fashionably late and you don't eat.

Platters of sandwiches and cold cuts are served in an adjacent room off camera.

By the first commercial break, only crumbs remained. - Sandy Cohen

CELEBRITY BROMANCE

Jonah Hill and Bradley Cooper shared a brotherly hug and a mutual "I love you" during the first commercial break at the Golden Globes show.

Then Cooper introduced Hill to his Golden Globes date for the evening, his mother, Gloria. - Sandy Cohen

TRAFFIC JAM

With just minutes left to get inside the Beverly Hilton Hotel's International Ballroom for the Golden Globe Awards, there was nearly a chain-reaction celebrity pileup at the front door.

Kevin Spacey did some fancy footwork to avoid running into Matthew McConaughey. Then he slapped his fellow actor on the shoulder of McConaughey's green velvet tux and said, "What a year you're having, buddy."

McConaughey, nominated for a best actor award for "Dallas Buyers Club," grinned.

"Thanks," he said. "It's good!" - Sandy Cohen

NERVOUS? NOT AMY POEHLER

Nerves? What nerves?

Less than an hour to go until show time, Golden Globes co-host Amy Poehler was all smiles as she walked the red carpet, pausing to exchange greetings with Emma Thompson.

"So great to meet you!" said Poehler, offering a hug to Thompson's date for the evening — the actress' daughter. - Sandy Cohen
